Since many of the traditional frat boy style cockwaving activities (date raping as many girls as possible, eating semen off of cookies) are available on the world wide web, a different indicator of penis length has cropped up among the dorks and failures of the messageboards. Usual indicators used are
postcount,
uptime, computer specifications, amount of RAM, hard drive size, "first post" in a thread, and various other completely non-vital statistics about one's computer. These "netcock waving" threads tend to start at least once a month on messageboards. A lucky person may find a thread full of pictures of
the board's posters, so that their complete failure/dork status can be properly judged.
