con
[SF fandom] A science-fiction convention. Not used of other sorts of
conventions, such as professional meetings. This term, unlike many others of
SF-fan slang, is widely recognised even by hackers who aren't fans. "We'd been
corresponding on the net for months, then we met face-to-face at a con."
