When two or more people setup their computers on the same local area network (LAN), and in most cases, play video games together. People lanning often host LAN Parties consisting of many people on the same LAN, and like to do things like pull allnighters and consume TONS of caffeine. Currently, most people like to lan together to play first person shooters, or strategic games in which it is very important to communicate.

An acronym that means "Local Area Network" but is more often seen as "LAN Party" which is a gathering of geeks/computer gamers for the sole purpose of gaming and exchanging gigantic numbers of files.
