turista; (adjetivo) turístico,

Japanese:
旅行者
tourist
n.1. [ITS] A guest on the system, especially one who generally logs in over a network from a remote location for comm mode, email, games, and other trivial purposes. One step below luser. ITS hackers often used to spell this turist, perhaps by some sort of tenuous analogy with luser (this usage may also have expressed the ITS culture's penchant for six-letterisms, and-or been some sort of tribute to Alan Turing). Compare twink, lurker, read-only user.
2. [IRC] An IRC user who goes from channel to channel without saying anything; see channel hopping.
