Hacker

Module to generate hacker/IT words and phrases.

Overview

There are methods for different parts of speech, such as abbreviation(), adjective(), noun(), verb(), and ingverb(). Alternatively, phrase() creates a longer phrase combining these words.

Various modules allow for generating other types of words and phrases:

  • faker.word uses general vocabulary rather than hacker-specific terms.
  • faker.lorem uses faux-Latin "lorem ipsum" text.
  • faker.company includes corporate catchphrases and buzzwords.
