A quantity having an intermediate value between             several others, from which it is derived, and of which it             expresses the resultant value; usually, unless otherwise             specified, it is the simple average, formed by adding the             quantities together and dividing by their number, which is             called an arithmetical mean. A geometrical mean is the             square root of the product of the quantities.          3.

Hamilton.          Note: In this sense the word is usually employed in the                plural form means, and often with a singular attribute                or predicate, as if a singular noun.                            By this means he had them more at vantage.                                                                               --Bacon.                            What other means is left unto us.   --Shak.          4. pl.

But                there are many words which may be regarded as means or                processes, or, figuratively, as instruments; and                whether with or by shall be used with them is a matter                of arbitrary, and often, of unsettled usage; as, to a                reduce a town by famine; to consume stubble with fire;                he gained his purpose by flattery; he entertained them                with a story; he distressed us with or by a recital of                his sufferings. see {With}.          {By all means}, most assuredly; without fail; certainly.          {By and by}.             (a) Close together (of place).

See under {Bye}.          {By the head} (Naut.), having the bows lower than the stern;             -- said of a vessel when her head is lower in the water             than her stern. If her stern is lower, she is by the             stern.          {By the lee}, the situation of a vessel, going free, when she             has fallen off so much as to bring the wind round her             stern, and to take her sails aback on the other side.          {By the run}, to let go by the run, to let go altogether,             instead of slacking off.          {By the way}, by the bye; -- used to introduce an incidental             or secondary remark or subject.          {Day by day}, {One by one}, {Piece by piece}, etc., each day,             each one, each piece, etc., by itself singly or             separately; each severally.          {To come by}, to get possession of; to obtain.          {To do by}, to treat, to behave toward.          {To set by}, to value, to esteem.          {To stand by}, to aid, to support.          Note: The common phrase good-by is equivalent to farewell,                and would be better written good-bye, as it is a                corruption of God be with you (b'w'ye).

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
balloonian variable n.   [Commodore users; perh. a deliberate    phonetic mangling of `boolean variable'?] Any variable that doesn't    actually hold or control state, but must nevertheless be declared,    checked, or set.   A typical balloonian variable started out as a    flag attached to some environment feature that either became    obsolete or was planned but never implemented.   Compatibility    concerns (or politics attached to same) may require that such a flag    be treated as though it were {live}.
