chawmp n.   [University of Florida] 16 or 18 bits (half of a    machine word).   This term was used by FORTH hackers during the late    1970s/early 1980s; it is said to have been archaic then, and may now    be obsolete.   It was coined in revolt against the promiscuous use of    `word' for anything between 16 and 32 bits; `word' has an additional    special meaning for FORTH hacks that made the overloading    intolerable.   For similar reasons, /gaw'bl/ (spelled `gawble' or    possibly `gawbul') was in use as a term for 32 or 48 bits    (presumably a full machine word, but our sources are unclear on    this).   These terms are more easily understood if one thinks of them    as faithful phonetic spellings of `chomp' and `gobble' pronounced in    a Florida or other Southern U.S. dialect.   For general discussion of    similar terms, see {nybble}.

chomp vi.   1. To {lose}; specifically, to chew on something of    which more was bitten off than one can.   Probably related to    gnashing of teeth.   2. To bite the bag; See {bagbiter}.          A hand gesture commonly accompanies this.   To perform it, hold the    four fingers together and place the thumb against their tips.   Now    open and close your hand rapidly to suggest a biting action (much    like what Pac-Man does in the classic video game, though this    pantomime seems to predate that).   The gesture alone means `chomp    chomp' (see "{Verb Doubling}" in the "{Jargon Construction}" section    of the Prependices).   The hand may be pointed at the object of    complaint, and for real emphasis you can use both hands at once.    Doing this to a person is equivalent to saying "You chomper!"   If    you point the gesture at yourself, it is a humble but humorous    admission of some failure.   You might do this if someone told you    that a program you had written had failed in some surprising way and    you felt dumb for not having anticipated it.

Camp       During their journeys across the wilderness, the twelve tribes       formed encampments at the different places where they halted       (Ex. 16:13; Num. 2:3). The diagram here given shows the position       of the different tribes and the form of the encampment during       the wanderings, according to Num. 1:53; 2:2-31; 3:29, 35, 38;       10:13-28.                The area of the camp would be in all about 3 square miles.       After the Hebrews entered Palestine, the camps then spoken of       were exclusively warlike (Josh. 11:5, 7; Judg. 5:19, 21; 7:1; 1       Sam. 29:1; 30:9, etc.).
