Cuckoo \Cuck"oo\ (k??k"??), n. [OE. coccou, cukkow, F. coucou,       prob. of imitative origin; cf. L. cuculus, Gr. [?][?][?][?],       Skr. k[?]ki[?]a, G. kuckuk, D. koekoek.] (Zo[94]l.)       A bird belonging to {Cuculus}, {Coccyzus}, and several allied       genera, of many species.          Note: The European cuckoo ({Cuculus canorus}) builds no nest                of its own, but lays its eggs in the nests of other                birds, to be hatched by them. The American                yellow-billed cuckoo ({Coccyzus Americanus}) and the                black-billed cuckoo ({C. erythrophthalmus}) build their                own nests.          {Cuckoo bee} (Zool.), a bee, parasitic in the larval stage in             the nests of other bees, feeding either upon their food or             larvae. They belong to the genera {Nomada}, {Melecta},             {Epeolus}, and others.          {Cuckoo clock}, a clock so constructed that at the time for             striking it gives forth sounds resembling the cry of the             cuckoo.          {Cuckoo dove} (Zo[94]l.), a long-tailed pigeon of the genus             {Macropygia}. Many species inhabit the East Indies.          {Cuckoo fish} (Zo[94]l.), the European red gurnard ({Trigla             cuculus}). The name probably alludes to the sound that it             utters.          {Cuckoo falcon} (Zo[94]l.), any falcon of the genus {Baza}.             The genus inhabits Africa and the East Indies.          {Cuckoo maid} (Zo[94]l.), the wryneck; -- called also {cuckoo             mate}.          {Cuckoo ray} (Zo[94]l.), a British ray ({Raia miraletus}).          {Cuckoo spit}, [or] {Cuckoo spittle}.       (a) A frothy secretion found upon plants, exuded by the             larvae of certain insects, for concealment; -- called             also {toad spittle} and {frog spit}.       (b) (Zo[94]l.) A small hemipterous insect, the larva of             which, living on grass and the leaves of plants, exudes             this secretion.

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
cookbook n.   [from amateur electronics and radio] A book of small    code segments that the reader can use to do various {magic} things    in programs.   One current example is the "{{PostScript}} Language    Tutorial and Cookbook" by Adobe Systems, Inc (Addison-Wesley, ISBN    0-201-10179-3), also known as the {Blue Book} which has recipes for    things like wrapping text around arbitrary curves and making 3D    fonts.   Cookbooks, slavishly followed, can lead one into {voodoo    programming}, but are useful for hackers trying to {monkey up} small    programs in unknown languages.   This function is analogous to the    role of phrasebooks in human languages.
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
case based reasoning          (CBR) A technique for problem       solving which looks for previous examples which are similar to       the current problem.   This is useful where {heuristic}       {knowledge} is not available.          There are many situations where experts are not happy to be       questioned about their knowledge by people who want to write       the knowledge in rules, for use in {expert systems}.   In most       of these situations, the natural way for an expert to describe       his or her knowledge is through examples, stories or cases       (which are all basically the same thing).   Such an expert will       teach trainees about the expertise by apprenticeship, i.e. by       giving examples and by asking the trainees to remember them,       copy them and adapt them in solving new problems if they       describe situations that are similar to the new problems.   CBR       aims to exploit such knowledge.          Some key research areas are efficient indexing, how to define       "similarity" between cases and how to use temporal       information.          (1996-05-28)

cause-effect graphing          A testing technique that aids in selecting, in a       systematic way, a high-yield set of test cases that logically       relates causes to effects to produce test cases.   It has a       beneficial side effect in pointing out incompleteness and       ambiguities in specifications.          (1996-05-10)
