Filk:  short for FilkSing, a particular form of obsession found typically
       at S.F. conventions, where large groups of people will gather to 
       sing (each in his or her own key, of course) original and not-so-original
       songs, to original and not-so-original tunes, of a scn F&SF nature. 
       Generally conceded to be one of the high points of SF conventions, at 
       least by those who participate.
