uncle

Slang coming into common use to describe web locations where one might be able to find torrents. This is based on the fact that most people have an uncle who works in a place which gets corporate keys for their software and hooks you up with free goodies from time to time.

Thus, if you need some software, you ask your "uncle" and see if he's got it. The phrase is usually utilized on forums where to openly talk about torrents is banned.

Joe1982: Hey mate, I need some video editing software to sort out this short film I'm working on, can you hook me up?

FrankSin: I can't, but ask your uncle and see what he can do for you.
