   Caste \Caste\, n. [Pg. casta race, lineage, fr. L. castus pure,

      1. One of the hereditary classes into which the Hindoos are

               equal rank, and same profession or occupation, and may
               not eat or intermarry with those not of their own
               caste. The original are four, viz., the Brahmans, or
               sacerdotal order; the Kshatriyas, or soldiers and
               rulers; the Vaisyas, or husbandmen and merchants; and
               the Sudras, or laborers and mechanics. Men of no caste

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   cascade n.   1. A huge volume of spurious error-message output
   produced by a compiler with poor error recovery.   Too frequently,
   one trivial syntax error (such as a missing `)' or `}') throws the
   parser out of synch so that much of the remaining program text is
   interpreted as garbaged or ill-formed.   2. A chain of Usenet
   followups, each adding some trivial variation or riposte to the text
   of the previous one, all of which is reproduced in the new message;
   an {include war} in which the object is to create a sort of communal
   graffito.
  
  

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   cache hit

   Castaway
      Gr. adokimos, (1 Cor. 9:27), one regarded as unworthy (R.V.,

   Chest
      (Heb. _'aron_, generally rendered "ark"), the coffer into which
      the contributions for the repair of the temple were put (2 Kings
      12:9, 10; 2 Chr. 24:8, 10, 11). In Gen. 50:26 it is rendered
