Food \Food\, n. [OE. fode, AS. f[d3]da; akin to Icel. f[91][eb]a, f[91][eb]i, Sw. f[94]da, Dan. & LG. f[94]de, OHG. fatunga, Gr. patei^sthai to eat, and perh. to Skr. p[be] to protect, L. pascere to feed, pasture, pabulum food, E. pasture. [fb]75. Cf. {Feed}, {Fodder} food, {Foster} to cherish.] 1. What is fed upon; that which goes to support life by being received within, and assimilated by, the organism of an animal or a plant; nutriment; aliment; especially, what is eaten by animals for nourishment. Note: In a physiological sense, true aliment is to be distinguished as that portion of the food which is capable of being digested and absorbed into the blood, thus furnishing nourishment, in distinction from the indigestible matter which passes out through the alimentary canal as f[91]ces. Note: Foods are divided into two main groups: nitrogenous, or proteid, foods, i.e., those which contain nitrogen, and nonnitrogenous, i.e., those which do not contain nitrogen. The latter group embraces the fats and carbohydrates, which collectively are sometimes termed heat producers or respiratory foods, since by oxidation in the body they especially subserve the production of heat. The proteids, on the other hand, are known as plastic foods or tissue formers, since no tissue can be formed without them. These latter terms, however, are misleading, since proteid foods may also give rise to heat both directly and indirectly, and the fats and carbohydrates are useful in other ways than in producing heat. 2. Anything that instructs the intellect, excites the feelings, or molds habits of character; that which nourishes. This may prove food to my displeasure. --Shak. In this moment there is life and food For future years. --Wordsworth. Note: Food is often used adjectively or in self-explaining compounds, as in food fish or food-fish, food supply. {Food vacuole} (Zo[94]l.), one of the spaces in the interior of a protozoan in which food is contained, during digestion. {Food yolk}. (Biol.) See under {Yolk}. Syn: Aliment; sustenance; nutriment; feed; fare; victuals; provisions; meat.

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
fat electrons n. Old-time hacker David Cargill's theory on the causation of computer glitches. Your typical electric utility draws its line current out of the big generators with a pair of coil taps located near the top of the dynamo. When the normal tap brushes get dirty, they take them off line to clean them up, and use special auxiliary taps on the _bottom_ of the coil. Now, this is a problem, because when they do that they get not ordinary or `thin' electrons, but the fat'n'sloppy electrons that are heavier and so settle to the bottom of the generator. These flow down ordinary wires just fine, but when they have to turn a sharp corner (as in an integrated-circuit via), they're apt to get stuck. This is what causes computer glitches. [Fascinating. Obviously, fat electrons must gain mass by {bogon} absorption --ESR] Compare {bogon}, {magic smoke}.

fd leak /F-D leek/ n. A kind of programming bug analogous to a {core leak}, in which a program fails to close file descriptors (`fd's) after file operations are completed, and thus eventually runs out of them. See {leak}.

fatal exception A program execution error which is trapped by the {operating system} and which results in abrupt termination of the program. It may be possible for the program to catch some such errors, e.g. a {floating point} {underflow}; others, such as an invalid memory access (an attempt to write to read-only memory or an attempt to read memory outside of the program's {address space}), may always cause control to pass to the operating system without allowing the program an opportunity to handle the error. The details depend on the language's {run-time system} and the operating system. See also: {fatal error}. (1997-08-03)
