blinkenlights
A humorous hacker's term for diagnostic lights on old mainframe computers and modern network hardware. The word is supposed to give the average English speaker the impression that it is a German word. The word comes from a warning sign written in mangled mock German and typically printed in a blackletter-Gothic font, that used to be popular under computer room personal in the U.S.A.
