finn

finn v.  [IRC] To pull rank on somebody based on the amount
   of time one has spent on {IRC}.  The term derives from the fact
   that IRC was originally written in Finland in 1987.  There may be
   some influence from the `Finn' character in William Gibson's
   seminal cyberpunk novel "Count Zero", who at one point says to
   another (much younger) character "I have a pair of shoes older
   than you are, so shut up!"
