(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.syschef.recovery, and sometimes applied to IRC botwars, because of their equally poiNTless nature. (1999-07-14)
