From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
macro /mak'roh/ n.   [techspeak] A name (possibly followed by a    formal {arg} list) that is equated to a text or symbolic expression    to which it is to be expanded (possibly with the substitution of    actual arguments) by a macro expander.   This definition can be found    in any technical dictionary; what those won't tell you is how the    hackish connotations of the term have changed over time.          The term `macro' originated in early assemblers, which encouraged    the use of macros as a structuring and information-hiding device.    During the early 1970s, macro assemblers became ubiquitous, and    sometimes quite as powerful and expensive as {HLL}s, only to fall    from favor as improving compiler technology marginalized assembler    programming (see {languages of choice}).   Nowadays the term is most    often used in connection with the C preprocessor, LISP, or one of    several special-purpose languages built around a macro-expansion    facility (such as TeX or Unix's [nt]roff suite).          Indeed, the meaning has drifted enough that the collective    `macros' is now sometimes used for code in any special-purpose    application control language (whether or not the language is    actually translated by text expansion), and for macro-like entities    such as the `keyboard macros' supported in some text editors (and PC    TSR or Macintosh INIT/CDEV keyboard enhancers).

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
micro- pref.   1. Very small; this is the root of its use as a    quantifier prefix.   2. A quantifier prefix, calling for    multiplication by 10^(-6) (see {{quantifiers}}).   Neither of these    uses is peculiar to hackers, but hackers tend to fling them both    around rather more freely than is countenanced in standard English.    It is recorded, for example, that one CS professor used to    characterize the standard length of his lectures as a microcentury    -- that is, about 52.6 minutes (see also {attoparsec}, {nanoacre},    and especially {microfortnight}).   3. Personal or human-scale --    that is, capable of being maintained or comprehended or manipulated    by one human being.   This sense is generalized from `microcomputer',       and is esp. used in contrast with `macro-' (the corresponding    Greek prefix meaning `large').   4. Local as opposed to global (or    {macro-}).   Thus a hacker might say that buying a smaller car to    reduce pollution only solves a microproblem; the macroproblem of    getting to work might be better solved by using mass transit, moving    to within walking distance, or (best of all) telecommuting.

Machir       sold. (1.) Manasseh's oldest son (Josh. 17:1), or probably his       only son (see 1 Chr. 7:14, 15; comp. Num. 26:29-33; Josh.       13:31). His descendants are referred to under the name of       Machirites, being the offspring of Gilead (Num. 26:29). They       settled in land taken from the Amorites (Num. 32:39, 40; Deut.       3:15) by a special enactment (Num. 36:1-3; Josh. 17:3, 4). He is       once mentioned as the representative of the tribe of Manasseh       east of Jordan (Judg. 5:14).                (2.) A descendant of the preceding, residing at Lo-debar,       where he maintained Jonathan's son Mephibosheth till he was       taken under the care of David (2 Sam. 9:4), and where he       afterwards gave shelter to David himself when he was a fugitive       (17:27).

(e) Mishpat, Jer.       30:11, elsewhere "judgment." (f) Mithkoneth and token, Ezek.       45:11. (g) In New Testament metron, the usual Greek word thus       rendered (Matt. 7:2; 23:32; Mark 4:24).                (2.) Those which are definite. (a) 'Eyphah, Deut. 25:14, 15,       usually "ephah." (b) Ammah, Jer. 51:13, usually "cubit." (c)       Kor, 1 Kings 4:22, elsewhere "cor;" Greek koros, Luke 16:7. (d)       Seah, Gen. 18:6; 1 Sam. 25:18, a seah; Greek saton, Matt. 13:33;       Luke 13:21. (e) Shalish, "a great measure," Isa. 40:12;       literally a third, i.e., of an ephah.

Mosera       a bond, one of the stations of the Israelites in the wilderness       (Deut. 10:6), at the foot of Mount Hor. (Comp. Num. 33:37, 38).       It has been identified with el-Tayibeh, a small fountain at the       bottom of the pass leading to the ascent of Mount Hor.
