Answers.com <http://www.answers.com/weasel&r=67> gives weasel n2 as "A
person regarded as sneaky or treacherous"

Free Dictionary <http://www.thefreedictionary.com/weasel> gives "weasel out"
as "To back out of a situation or commitment in a sneaky or cowardly
manner."

FOLDOC <http://computing-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/weasel> gives
weasel as "A naive user, one who deliberately or accidentally does things
that are stupid or ill-advised. Roughly synonymous with loser."
