- discordianism — (recreation) /dis-kor'di-*n-ism/ The veneration of Eris, also known as Discordia; widely popular among hackers.

Discordianism is usually connected with an elaborate conspiracy theory/joke involving millennia-long warfare between the anarcho-surrealist partisans of Eris and a malevolent, authoritarian secret society called the Illuminati.
