Word that is mostly used in hacking code but could also be seen from the prospective of a sterotype from movies. Hacking, in this context, is breaking into a computer system. A mainframe is "a high-performance computer used for large-scale computing purposes". So, hacking the mainframe would be breaking into a supercomputer, essentially.
"hacking the mainframe is like steeling candy from a baby."

A hypothetical step above PC master race. To have and run instead of a personal computer but a whole mainframe for say a company, school system, lab, university, clandestine group, pony fan art site etc.. Can be used as a complement for computer admins. Or a pejorative to make fun of the nature of PC elitists trying to build bigger computers.
