I remember when the go-to search term was "warez."

I still don't know if that was supposed to be pronounced like "wares" or "war-ehz." 🤔

I don't think either answer is wrong.

I always thought it was warez as in "wears". My understanding is it was short for "softwares" or something. Take the end, add a dash of 1337sp34k and you get warez.
