Interweb

I've seen the word Interweb on enough sites to know it was a popular term. It sounds funny and obviously interchangeable with Internet, but I do not know why it exists. Something tells me it will be around for a while.

Wiktionary definition:
(Internet, slang, humorous) The Internet, typically used in a jocular or sarcastic manner by more experienced Internet users, especially as a mockery of the less experienced when used with 'teh'.

Look I'm on teh interweb!
Urban Dictionary definition:
A sarcastic term for the internet. Often used in the context of parody regarding an inexperience, unskilled, or incoherent user.

Hay guys, I'm using teh interweb!!!
Google caches the Wikipedia definition:
Interweb (sometimes interwebs, interwebz, intarweb(s), interwibble, and other variations) is a malapropism used satirically or to indicate inexperience by intentionally and incorrectly merging the terms 'Internet' and 'World Wide Web'.
