ACK /ak/ interj.   1. [common; from the ASCII mnemonic for    0000110] Acknowledge.   Used to register one's presence (compare    mainstream _Yo!_).   An appropriate response to {ping} or {ENQ}.   2.    [from the comic strip "Bloom County"] An exclamation of surprised    disgust, esp. in "Ack pffft!"   Semi-humorous.   Generally this sense    is not spelled in caps (ACK) and is distinguished by a following    exclamation point.   3. Used to politely interrupt someone to tell    them you understand their point (see {NAK}).   Thus, for example, you    might cut off an overly long explanation with "Ack.   Ack.   Ack.   I    get it now".          There is also a usage "ACK?" (from sense 1) meaning "Are you    there?", often used in email when earlier mail has produced no    reply, or during a lull in {talk mode} to see if the person has gone    away (the standard humorous response is of course {NAK} (sense 2),    i.e., "I'm not here").

ASCII /as'kee/ n.   [originally an acronym (American Standard    Code for Information Interchange) but now merely conventional] The    predominant character set encoding of present-day computers.   The    standard version uses 7 bits for each character, whereas most    earlier codes (including early drafts of of ASCII prior to June    1961) used fewer.   This change allowed the inclusion of lowercase    letters -- a major {win} -- but it did not provide for accented    letters or any other letterforms not used in English (such as the    German sharp-S or the ae-ligature      which is a letter in, for    example, Norwegian).   It could be worse, though.   It could be much    worse.   See {{EBCDIC}} to understand how.   A history of ASCII and    its ancestors is at `http://www.wps.com/texts/codes/index.html'.          Computers are much pickier and less flexible about spelling than    humans; thus, hackers need to be very precise when talking about    characters, and have developed a considerable amount of verbal    shorthand for them.   Every character has one or more names -- some    formal, some concise, some silly.   Common jargon names for ASCII    characters are collected here.   See also individual entries for    {bang}, {excl}, {open}, {ques}, {semi}, {shriek}, {splat},    {twiddle}, and {Yu-Shiang Whole Fish}.          This list derives from revision 2.3 of the Usenet ASCII    pronunciation guide.   Single characters are listed in ASCII order;    character pairs are sorted in by first member.   For each character,    common names are given in rough order of popularity, followed by    names that are reported but rarely seen; official ANSI/CCITT names    are surrounded by brokets: <>.   Square brackets mark the    particularly silly names introduced by {INTERCAL}.   The    abbreviations "l/r" and "o/c" stand for left/right and "open/close"    respectively.   Ordinary parentheticals provide some usage    information.       !       Common: {bang}; pling; excl; shriek; .   Rare:       factorial; exclam; smash; cuss; boing; yell; wow; hey; wham;       eureka; [spark-spot]; soldier, control.       "       Common: double quote; quote.   Rare: literal mark; double-glitch;       ; ; dirk; [rabbit-ears]; double prime.       #       Common: number sign; pound; pound sign; hash; sharp; {crunch}; hex;       [mesh].   Rare: grid; crosshatch; octothorpe; flash; ,       pig-pen; tictactoe; scratchmark; thud; thump; {splat}.       $       Common: dollar; .   Rare: currency symbol; buck; cash;       string (from BASIC); escape (when used as the echo of ASCII ESC);       ding; cache; [big money].       %       Common: percent; ; mod; grapes.   Rare:       [double-oh-seven].       &       Common: ; amper; and.   Rare: address (from C); reference       (from C++); andpersand; bitand; background (from `sh(1)');       pretzel; amp.   [INTERCAL called this `ampersand'; what could be       sillier?]       '       Common: single quote; quote; .   Rare: prime; glitch;       tick; irk; pop; [spark]; ;       accent>.       ( )       Common: l/r paren; l/r parenthesis; left/right; open/close;       paren/thesis; o/c paren; o/c parenthesis; l/r parenthesis; l/r       banana.   Rare: so/already; lparen/rparen;       parenthesis>; o/c round bracket, l/r round bracket, [wax/wane];       parenthisey/unparenthisey; l/r ear.       *       Common: star; [{splat}]; .   Rare: wildcard; gear; dingle;       mult; spider; aster; times; twinkle; glob (see {glob}); {Nathan       Hale}.       +       Common: ; add.   Rare: cross; [intersection].       ,       Common: .   Rare: ; [tail].       -       Common: dash; ; .   Rare: [worm]; option; dak;       bithorpe.       .       Common: dot; point; ; .   Rare: radix point;       full stop; [spot].       /       Common: slash; stroke; ; forward slash.   Rare: diagonal;       solidus; over; slak; virgule; [slat].       :       Common: .   Rare: dots; [two-spot].       ;       Common: ; semi.   Rare: weenie; [hybrid], pit-thwong.       < >       Common: ; bra/ket; l/r angle; l/r angle       bracket; l/r broket.   Rare: from/{into, towards}; read from/write       to; suck/blow; comes-from/gozinta; in/out; crunch/zap (all from       UNIX); [angle/right angle].       =       Common: ; gets; takes.   Rare: quadrathorpe; [half-mesh].       ?

AOS          1. /aws/ (East Coast), /ay-os/ (West Coast) A       {PDP-10} instruction that took any memory location and added 1       to it.   AOS meant "Add One and do not Skip".   Why, you may       ask, does the "S" stand for "do not Skip" rather than for       "Skip"?   Ah, here was a beloved piece of PDP-10 folklore.       There were eight such instructions: AOSE added 1 and then       skipped the next instruction if the result was Equal to zero;       AOSG added 1 and then skipped if the result was Greater than       0; AOSN added 1 and then skipped if the result was Not 0; AOSA       added 1 and then skipped Always; and so on.   Just plain AOS       didn't say when to skip, so it never skipped.          For similar reasons, AOJ meant "Add One and do not Jump".       Even more bizarre, SKIP meant "do not SKIP"!   If you wanted to       skip the next instruction, you had to say "SKIPA".   Likewise,       JUMP meant "do not JUMP"; the unconditional form was JUMPA.       However, hackers never did this.   By some quirk of the 10's       design, the {JRST} (Jump and ReSTore flag with no flag       specified) was actually faster and so was invariably used.       Such were the perverse mysteries of assembler programming.          2. /A-O-S/ or /A-os/ A {Multics}-derived {operating system}       supported at one time by {Data General}.          A spoof of the standard AOS system administrator's manual       ("How to Load and Generate your AOS System") was created,       issued a part number, and circulated as photocopy folklore; it       was called "How to Goad and Levitate your CHAOS System".          3.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Accho       sultry or sandy, a town and harbour of Phoenicia, in the tribe       of Asher, but never acquired by them (Judg. 1:31). It was known       to the ancient Greeks and Romans by the name of Ptolemais, from       Ptolemy the king of Egypt, who rebuilt it about B.C. 100. Here       Paul landed on his last journey to Jerusalem (Acts 21:7). During       the crusades of the Middle Ages it was called Acra; and       subsequently, on account of its being occupied by the Knights       Hospitallers of Jerusalem, it was called St. Jean d'Acre, or       simply Acre.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Achaia       the name originally of a narrow strip of territory in Greece, on       the north-west of the Peloponnesus. Subsequently it was applied       by the Romans to the whole Peloponnesus, now called the Morea,       and the south of Greece. It was then one of the two provinces       (Macedonia being the other) into which they divided the country       when it fell under their dominion. It is in this latter enlarged       meaning that the name is always used in the New Testament (Acts       18:12, 27; 19:21; Rom. 15: 26; 16:5, etc.). It was at the time       when Luke wrote the Acts of the Apostles under the proconsular       form of government; hence the appropriate title given to Gallio       as the "deputy," i.e., proconsul, of Achaia (Acts 18:12).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Age       used to denote the period of a man's life (Gen. 47:28), the       maturity of life (John 9:21), the latter end of life (Job       11:17), a generation of the human race (Job 8:8), and an       indefinite period (Eph. 2:7; 3:5, 21; Col. 1:26). Respect to be       shown to the aged (Lev. 19:32). It is a blessing to communities       when they have old men among them (Isa. 65:20; Zech. 8:4). The       aged supposed to excel in understanding (Job 12:20; 15:10; 32:4,       9; 1 Kings 12:6, 8). A full age the reward of piety (Job 5:26;       Gen. 15:15).

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Ahaz       possessor. (1.) A grandson of Jonathan (1 Chr. 8:35; 9:42).                (2.) The son and successor of Jotham, king of Judah (2 Kings       16; Isa. 7-9; 2 Chr. 28). He gave himself up to a life of       wickedness and idolatry. Notwithstanding the remonstrances and       warnings of Isaiah, Hosea, and Micah, he appealed for help       against Rezin, king of Damascus, and Pekah, king of Israel, who       threatened Jerusalem, to Tiglath-pileser, the king of Assyria,       to the great injury of his kingdom and his own humilating       subjection to the Assyrians (2 Kings 16:7, 9; 15:29). He also       introduced among his people many heathen and idolatrous customs       (Isa. 8:19; 38:8; 2 Kings 23:12). He died at the age of       thirty-five years, after reigning sixteen years (B.C. 740-724),       and was succeeded by his son Hezekiah. Because of his wickedness       he was "not brought into the sepulchre of the kings."
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Ahaziah       held by Jehovah. (1.) The son and successor of Ahab. He followed       the counsels of his mother Jezebel, and imitated in wickedness       the ways of his father. In his reign the Moabites revolted from       under his authority (2 Kings 3:5-7). He united with Jehoshaphat       in an attempt to revive maritime trade by the Red Sea, which       proved a failure (2 Chr. 20:35-37). His messengers, sent to       consult the god of Ekron regarding his recovery from the effects       of a fall from the roof-gallery of his palace, were met on the       way by Elijah, who sent them back to tell the king that he would       never rise from his bed (1 Kings 22:51; 2 Kings 1:18).                (2.) The son of Joram, or Jehoram, and sixth king of Judah.       Called Jehoahaz (2 Chr. 21:17; 25:23), and Azariah (2 Chr.       22:6). Guided by his idolatrous mother Athaliah, his reign was       disastrous (2 Kings 8:24-29; 9:29). He joined his uncle Jehoram,       king of Israel, in an expedition against Hazael, king of       Damascus; but was wounded at the pass of Gur when attempting to       escape, and had strength only to reach Megiddo, where he died (2       Kings 9:22-28). He reigned only one year.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Ahijah       brother (i.e., "friend") of Jehovah. (1.) One of the sons of       Bela (1 Chr. 8:7, R.V.). In A.V. called "Ahiah."                (2.) One of the five sons of Jerahmeel, who was great-grandson       of Judah (1 Chr. 2:25).                (3.) Son of Ahitub (1 Sam. 14:3, 18), Ichabod's brother; the       same probably as Ahimelech, who was high priest at Nob in the       reign of Saul (1 Sam. 22:11). Some, however, suppose that       Ahimelech was the brother of Ahijah, and that they both       officiated as high priests, Ahijah at Gibeah or Kirjath-jearim,       and Ahimelech at Nob.                (4.) A Pelonite, one of David's heroes (1 Chr. 11:36); called       also Eliam (2 Sam. 23:34).                (5.) A Levite having charge of the sacred treasury in the       temple (1 Chr. 26:20).                (6.) One of Solomon's secretaries (1 Kings 4:3).                (7.) A prophet of Shiloh (1 Kings 11:29; 14:2), called the       "Shilonite," in the days of Rehoboam. We have on record two of       his remarkable prophecies, 1 Kings 11:31-39, announcing the       rending of the ten tribes from Solomon; and 1 Kings 14:6-16,       delivered to Jeroboam's wife, foretelling the death of Abijah       the king's son, the destruction of Jeroboam's house, and the       captivity of Israel "beyond the river." Jeroboam bears testimony       to the high esteem in which he was held as a prophet of God (1       Kings 14:2,3).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Asa       physician, son of Abijah and grandson of Rehoboam, was the third       king of Judah. He was zealous in maintaining the true worship of       God, and in rooting all idolatry, with its accompanying       immoralities, out of the land (1 Kings 15:8-14). The Lord gave       him and his land rest and prosperity. It is recorded of him,       however, that in his old age, when afflicted, he "sought not to       the Lord, but to the physicians" (comp. Jer. 17:5). He died in       the forty-first year of his reign, greatly honoured by his       people (2 Chr. 16:1-13), and was succeeded by his son       Jehoshaphat.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Ash       (Heb. o'ren, "tremulous"), mentioned only Isa. 44:14 (R.V., "fir       tree"). It is rendered "pine tree" both in the LXX. and Vulgate       versions. There is a tree called by the Arabs _aran_, found       still in the valleys of Arabia Petraea, whose leaf resembles       that of the mountain ash. This may be the tree meant. Our ash       tree is not known in Syria.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Asia       is used to denote Proconsular Asia, a Roman province which       embraced the western parts of Asia Minor, and of which Ephesus       was the capital, in Acts 2:9; 6:9; 16:6; 19:10,22; 20:4, 16, 18,       etc., and probably Asia Minor in Acts 19:26, 27; 21:27; 24:18;       27:2. Proconsular Asia contained the seven churches of the       Apocalypse (Rev. 1:11). The "chiefs of Asia" (Acts 19:31) were       certain wealthy citizens who were annually elected to preside       over the games and religious festivals of the several cities to       which they belonged. Some of these "Asiarchs" were Paul's       friends.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Ass       frequently mentioned throughout Scripture. Of the domesticated       species we read of, (1.) The she ass (Heb. 'athon), so named       from its slowness (Gen. 12:16; 45:23; Num. 22:23; 1 Sam. 9:3).       (2.) The male ass (Heb. hamor), the common working ass of       Western Asia, so called from its red colour. Issachar is       compared to a strong ass (Gen. 49:14). It was forbidden to yoke       together an ass and an ox in the plough (Deut. 22:10). (3.) The       ass's colt (Heb. 'air), mentioned Judg. 10:4; 12:14. It is       rendered "foal" in Gen. 32:15; 49:11. (Comp. Job 11:12; Isa.       30:6.) The ass is an unclean animal, because it does not chew       the cud (Lev. 11:26. Comp. 2 Kings 6:25). Asses constituted a       considerable portion of wealth in ancient times (Gen. 12:16;       30:43; 1 Chr. 27:30; Job 1:3; 42:12). They were noted for their       spirit and their attachment to their master (Isa. 1:3). They are       frequently spoken of as having been ridden upon, as by Abraham       (Gen. 22:3), Balaam (Num. 22:21), the disobedient prophet (1       Kings 13:23), the family of Abdon the judge, seventy in number       (Judg. 12:14), Zipporah (Ex. 4:20), the Shunammite (1 Sam.       25:30), etc. Zechariah (9:9) predicted our Lord's triumphal       entrance into Jerusalem, "riding upon an ass, and upon a colt,"       etc. (Matt. 21:5, R.V.).                Of wild asses two species are noticed, (1) that called in       Hebrew _'arod_, mentioned Job 39:5 and Dan. 5:21, noted for its       swiftness; and (2) that called _pe're_, the wild ass of Asia       (Job 39:6-8; 6:5; 11:12; Isa. 32:14; Jer. 2:24; 14:6, etc.). The       wild ass was distinguished for its fleetness and its extreme       shyness. In allusion to his mode of life, Ishmael is likened to       a wild ass (Gen. 16:12. Here the word is simply rendered "wild"       in the Authorized Version, but in the Revised Version, "wild-ass       among men").
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Axe       used in the Authorized Version of Deut. 19:5; 20:19; 1 Kings       6:7, as the translation of a Hebrew word which means "chopping."       It was used for felling trees (Isa. 10:34) and hewing timber for       building. It is the rendering of a different word in Judg. 9:48,       1 Sam. 13:20, 21, Ps. 74:5, which refers to its sharpness. In 2       Kings 6:5 it is the translation of a word used with reference to       its being made of iron. In Isa. 44:12 the Revised Version       renders by "axe" the Hebrew _maatsad_, which means a "hewing"       instrument. In the Authorized Version it is rendered "tongs." It       is also used in Jer. 10:3, and rendered "axe." The "battle-axe"       (army of Medes and Persians) mentioned in Jer. 51:20 was       probably, as noted in the margin of the Revised Version, a       "maul" or heavy mace. In Ps. 74:6 the word so rendered means       "feller." (See the figurative expression in Matt. 3:10; Luke       3:9.)
