[W/K] :: bboard

  bboard /bee'bord/ n. [contraction of `bulletin board'] 1. Any
     electronic bulletin board; esp. used of BBS systems running on
     personal micros, less frequently of a Usenet newsgroup (in fact, use
     of this term for a newsgroup generally marks one either as a newbie
     fresh in from the BBS world or as a real old-timer predating Usenet). 2.
     At CMU and other colleges with similar facilities, refers to campus-wide
     electronic bulletin boards. 3. The term `physical bboard' is sometimes
     used to refer to an old-fashioned, non-electronic cork-and-thumbtack
     memo board. At CMU, it refers to a particular one outside the CS Lounge.
  
     In either of senses 1 or 2, the term is usually prefixed by the name
     of the intended board (`the Moonlight Casino bboard' or `market
     bboard'); however, if the context is clear, the better-read bboards may
     be referred to by name alone, as in (at CMU) "Don't post for-sale ads on
     general".
