penis war

jargon, abuse (Or "Dick Size War", "DSW") Any argument which

has degenerated into quantitative boasting of the sort "My

[program|bot|etc.] is [faster|meaner|etc.] than yours!",

generally as unconstructive (and with as little emphasis on

empirical proof) as men debating who has the biggest penis.

The term is often used on IRC, news:alt.sysadmin.recovery,

and sometimes applied to IRC botwars, because of their

equally pointless nature.
