Definition

Someone who posts anonymously to a forum, comment thread, zine, challenge or kink meme. [1] [2] Anonymouse is usually one word, but sometimes two, as in "anony mouse" [3] and is sometimes shortened to simply "mouse." The plural, of course, is "anonymice."

The term probably originated on late 1980s BBSs or early 1990s conferencing systems, and it is now commonly used on Fandom Wank.[4]
