A term used by married computer geeks to describe masturbation.
Originally taken from the film 'Hackers' in which a supposed hacker obtains vital information while hacking the garbage file on a 'Gibson' supercomputer.
Extrapolated from its original meaning, due to the fact that most married computer geeks hide their porn stash in seemingly innocuous locations on their hard drives -such as fake, or garbage files- to prevent detection from their less computer literate spouses.
