Eternal September
Language: English
Part of speech: name
Etymology: Before the Internet became mainstream in the mid-1990s, Usenet was largely restricted to colleges and universities, meaning that September (the start of the academic year) represented the largest annual influx of new users. Around 1993, commercial ISPs began offering Usenet access to their userbases, leading to a large amount of new posters with little idea of netiquette joining year-round. From the perspective of experienced Usenet users, the influx of new users in September 1993 never ended.
Senses: examples: ref: 1994 February 9, John William Chambless, “The Eternal September”, in alt.flame (Usenet):
text: I've only been here since the start of the Eternal September, but I was on at the beginning of that whole mess with the Highs.

text: "September 1993 will go down in net history as the September that never ended," Dave Fischer wrote on the world's most popular social network at the time. That post spawned the idea of the "Eternal September," a phenomenon that happens when an internet community is forced to deal with a neverending influx of new people.
