From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Wrestling \Wres"tling\, n.
      Act of one who wrestles; specif., the sport consisting of the
      hand-to-hand combat between two unarmed contestants who seek
      to throw each other.
  
      Note: The various styles of wrestling differ in their
               definition of a fall and in the governing rules. In
  
      {Greco-Roman wrestling}, tripping and taking hold of the legs
            are forbidden, and a fall is gained (that is, the bout is
            won), by the contestant who pins both his opponent's
            shoulders to the ground. In
  
      {catch-as-catch-can wrestling}, all holds are permitted
            except such as may be barred by mutual consent, and a fall
            is defined as in Greco-Roman style.
  
      {Lancashire style wrestling} is essentially the same as
            catch-as-catch-can. In
  
      {Cumberland and Westmorland wrestling} the contestants stand
            chest to chest, grasping each other around the body. The
            one first losing his hold, or touching the ground with any
            part of his body except his feet, loses the bout. If both
            fall to the ground at the same time, it is a dogfall, and
            must be wrestled over. In the
  
      {Cornwall and Devon wrestling}, the wrestlers complete in
            strong loose linen jackets, catching hold of the jacket,
            or anywhere above the waist. Two shoulders and one hip, or
            two hips and one shoulder, must touch the ground to
            constitute a fall, and if a man is thrown otherwise than
            on his back the contestants get upon their feet and the
            bout recommences.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   code segment
  
      ({Intel 8086} CS) The area of
      memory containing the {machine code} instructions of an
      executing {program}.   {Unix}, confusingly, calls this the
      {text segment}.   The code segment of a program may be shared
      between multiple processes running that code so long as none
      of them tries to modify it.
  
      Other segments are the {data segment} and, in Unix, the {bss
      segment}.
