A derogatory term for the InterNet, reflecting on the view that the InterNet and the WorldWideWeb are synonymous. The misspelling with an "a" came to be accepted as a self-ironic but also post-ironic reference reflecting on the amount of crap that fills the Web.
-The original source of the term is not known, but it does appear in an old PSIS Internet banking advertisment. The old man, who's portrayed as non-Internet savvy, mentions that he can do his banking on this "~IntarWeb
Thing", and that his son in law (I think) should do the same (but he already does, as he's Internet savvy!).
