Definitions of notwork word

  • noun Technical meaning of notwork (networking, humour)   /not'werk/ A network that is performing badly. Said at IBM to have originally referred to a particular period of flakiness on IBM's VNET corporate network ca. 1988; but there are independent reports of the term from elsewhere.
