@technomancy Within the warez scene "curry" was sometimes used as short for "courier" though I always thought it would be hilarious to have a warez courier group (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warez_group#Courier_groups) called "curry in a hurry" I never got around to it. ;)
Realistically, as a sysadmin, most courier functions could be replaced by something such as rsync; but I got tired of trying to convince those I still knew in the warez scene to use SSH circa 1999 (at the time, they preferred speed to security), so I can understand why more seasoned sysadmins never automated away the curries as a role within the scene.
