From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   clue-by-four   [Usenet: portmanteau, clue + two-by-four] The
   notional stick with which one whacks an aggressively clueless
   person.   This term derives from a western American folk saying about
   training a mule "First, you got to hit him with a two-by-four.
   That's to get his attention." The clue-by-four is a close relative
   of the {LART}.
  
  

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   call-by-value
  
      (CBV) An {evaluation strategy} where arguments are evaluated
      before the function or procedure is entered.   Only the values
      of the arguments are passed and changes to the arguments
      within the called procedure have no effect on the actual
      arguments as seen by the caller.   See {applicative order
      reduction}, {call-by-value-result}, {strict evaluation},
      {call-by-name}, {lazy evaluation}.
  
  

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   call-by-value-result
  
      An argument passing convention where the {actual argument} is
      a variable V whose value is copied to a local variable L
      inside the called function or procedure.   If the procedure
      modifies L, these changes will not affect V, which may also be
      in scope inside the procedure, until the procedure returns
      when the final value of L is copied to V.   Under
      {call-by-reference} changes to L would affect V immediately.
      Used, for example, by {BBC BASIC V} on the {Acorn}
      {Archimedes}.
