English Dictionary: 2' by the DICT Development Group
2 results for 2'
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   2 infix.   In translation software written by hackers, infix 2
   often represents the syllable _to_ with the connotation `translate
   to': as in dvi2ps (DVI to PostScript), int2string (integer to
   string), and texi2roff (Texinfo to [nt]roff).   Several versions of a
   joke have floated around the internet in which some idiot programmer
   fixes the Y2K bug by changing all the Y's in something to K's, as in
   Januark, Februark, etc.
