boxen
noun 
  1. (context, computing, slang) Multiple computers (or occasionally a single computer), especially those running Unix.
Etymology: An incorrect plural of box formed by analogy with oxen. While ox is subject to a special form of pluralization, box is correctly pluralized by the more common appending of 'es' to the end of the word, resulting in 'boxes'. Similar example would be 'foxes'.
