House Wizard
/hau̇s wi-zərd/
[prob. from ad-agency lingo, 'house freak']
n. A hacker occupying a technical-specialist, R&D, or systems position at a commercial shop. A really effective house wizard can have influence out of all proportion to his/her ostensible rank and still not have to wear a suit. Used esp. of UNIX wizards. The term 'house guru' is equivalent.
