      1. The chloride of sodium, a substance used for seasoning
            food, for the preservation of meat, etc. It is found

            impregnated with saline particles.
  
      2. Hence, flavor; taste; savor; smack; seasoning.

      Note: Except in case of ammonium salts, accurately speaking,
               it is the acid radical which unites with the base or

               water, or of analogous compounds as side products. In
               the case of diacid and triacid bases, and of dibasic

            of distinction, and those below to dependents, inferiors,

   base class
  
      (Or "superclass") The {class} from which another
      class (a "subclass") inherits.
  
      "base class" is the term used in {C++}.   The term "superclass"
      is perhaps confusing since objects of the subclass have a
      superset of the fields of objects in the superclass.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   Basic Language for Implementation of System Software
  
      (BLISS, or allegedly, "System Software
      Implementation Language, Backwards") A language designed by
      W.A. Wulf at {CMU} around 1969.
  
      BLISS is an {expression language}.   It is {block-structured},
      and typeless, with {exception handling} facilities,
      {coroutines}, a {macro} system, and a highly {optimising
      compiler}.   It was one of the first non-{assembly languages}
      for {operating system} implementation.   It gained fame for its
      lack of a {goto} and also lacks implicit {dereferencing}: all
      symbols stand for addresses, not values.
  
      Another characteristic (and possible explanation for the
      backward acronym) was that BLISS fairly uniformly used
      backward {keywords} for closing blocks, a famous example being
      ELUDOM to close a MODULE.   An exception was BEGIN...END though
      you could use (...) instead.
  
      DEC introduced the NOVALUE keyword in their dialects to allow
      statements to not return a value.
  
      Versions: CMU {BLISS-10} for the PDP-10; CMU {BLISS-11},
      {BLISS-16}, DEC {BLISS-16C}, DEC {BLISS-32}, {BLISS-36} for
      {VAX}/{VMS}, {BLISS-36C}.
  
      ["BLISS: A Language for Systems Programming", CACM
      14(12):780-790, Dec 1971].
