fred n.   1. The personal name most frequently used as a    {metasyntactic variable} (see {foo}).   Allegedly popular because    it's easy for a non-touch-typist to type on a standard QWERTY    keyboard. In Great Britain, `fred', `jim' and `sheila' are common    metasyntactic variables because their uppercase versions were    _official_ names given to the 3 memory areas that held I/O status    registers on the lovingly-remembered BBC Microcomputer!   (It is    reported that SHEILA was poked the most often.)   Unlike {J. Random    Hacker} or `J. Random Loser', the name `fred' has no positive or    negative loading (but see {Dr. Fred Mbogo}).   See also {barney}.   2.    An acronym for `Flipping Ridiculous Electronic Device'; other    F-verbs may be substituted for `flipping'.

fried adj.   1. [common] Non-working due to hardware failure;    burnt out.   Especially used of hardware brought down by a `power    glitch' (see {glitch}), {drop-outs}, a short, or some other    electrical event.   (Sometimes this literally happens to electronic    circuits!   In particular, resistors can burn out and transformers    can melt down, emitting noxious smoke -- see {friode}, {SED} and    {LER}.   However, this term is also used metaphorically.)   Compare    {frotzed}.   2. [common] Of people, exhausted.   Said particularly of    those who continue to work in such a state.   Often used as an    explanation or excuse.   "Yeah, I know that fix destroyed the file    system, but I was fried when I put it in."   Esp. common in    conjunction with `brain': "My brain is fried today, I'm very short    on sleep."

FORTH          1. An interactive extensible language using       {postfix syntax} and a data stack, developed by Charles       H. Moore in the 1960s.   FORTH is highly user-configurable and       there are many different implementations, the following       description is of a typical default configuration.          Forth programs are structured as lists of "words" - FORTH's       term which encompasses language keywords, primitives and       user-defined {subroutines}.   Forth takes the idea of       subroutines to an extreme - nearly everything is a subroutine.       A word is any string of characters except the separator which       defaults to space.   Numbers are treated specially.   Words are       read one at a time from the input stream and either executed       immediately ("interpretive execution") or compiled as part of       the definition of a new word.          The sequential nature of list execution and the implicit use       of the data stack (numbers appearing in the lists are pushed       to the stack as they are encountered) imply postfix syntax.       Although postfix notation is initially difficult, experienced       users find it simple and efficient.          Words appearing in executable lists may be "{primitives}"       (simple {assembly language} operations), names of previously       compiled procedures or other special words.   A procedure       definition is introduced by ":" and ended with ";" and is       compiled as it is read.          Most Forth dialects include the source language structures       BEGIN-AGAIN, BEGIN-WHILE-REPEAT, BEGIN-UNTIL, DO-LOOP, and       IF-ELSE-THEN, and others can be added by the user.   These are       "compiling structures" which may only occur in a procedure       definition.          FORTH can include in-line {assembly language} between "CODE"       and "ENDCODE" or similar constructs.   Forth primitives are       written entirely in {assembly language}, secondaries contain a       mixture.   In fact code in-lining is the basis of compilation       in some implementations.          Once assembled, primitives are used exactly like other words.       A significant difference in behaviour can arise, however, from       the fact that primitives end with a jump to "NEXT", the entry       point of some code called the sequencer, whereas       non-primitives end with the address of the "EXIT" primitive.       The EXIT code includes the scheduler in some {multi-tasking}       systems so a process can be {deschedule}d after executing a       non-primitive, but not after a primitive.          Forth implementations differ widely.   Implementation       techniques include {threaded code}, dedicated Forth       processors, {macros} at various levels, or interpreters       written in another language such as {C}.   Some implementations       provide {real-time} response, user-defined data structures,       {multitasking}, {floating-point} arithmetic, and/or {virtual       memory}.          Some Forth systems support virtual memory without specific       hardware support like {MMU}s.   However, Forth virtual memory       is usually only a sort of extended data space and does not       usually support executable code.          FORTH does not distinguish between {operating system} calls       and the language.   Commands relating to I/O, {file systems}       and {virtual memory} are part of the same language as the       words for arithmetic, memory access, loops, IF statements, and       the user's application.          Many Forth systems provide user-declared "vocabularies" which       allow the same word to have different meanings in different       contexts.   Within one vocabulary, re-defining a word causes       the previous definition to be hidden from the interpreter (and       therefore the compiler), but not from previous definitions.          FORTH was first used to guide the telescope at NRAO, Kitt       Peak.   Moore considered it to be a {fourth-generation       language} but his {operating system} wouldn't let him use six       letters in a program name, so FOURTH became FORTH.          Versions include fig-FORTH, FORTH 79 and FORTH 83.          {FAQs       (http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/forth/faq/faq-general-2.html)}.       {ANS Forth standard, dpANS6       (http://www.taygeta.com/forth/dpans.html)}.          FORTH Interest Group, Box 1105, San Carlos CA 94070.          See also {51forth}, {F68K}, {cforth}, {E-Forth}, {FORML},       {TILE Forth}.          [Leo Brodie, "Starting Forth"].          [Leo Brodie, "Thinking Forth"].          [Jack Woehr, "Forth, the New Model"].          [R.G.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Ferret       Lev. 11:30 (R.V., "gecko"), one of the unclean creeping things.       It was perhaps the Lacerta gecko which was intended by the       Hebrew word (anakah, a cry, "mourning," the creature which       groans) here used, i.e., the "fan-footed" lizard, the gecko       which makes a mournful wail. The LXX. translate it by a word       meaning "shrew-mouse," of which there are three species in       Palestine. The Rabbinical writers regard it as the hedgehog. The       translation of the Revised Version is to be preferred.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Ford       Mention is frequently made of the fords of the Jordan (Josh.       2:7; Judg. 3:28; 12:5, 6), which must have been very numerous;       about fifty perhaps. The most notable was that of Bethabara.       Mention is also made of the ford of the Jabbok (Gen. 32:22), and       of the fords of Arnon (Isa. 16:2) and of the Euphrates (Jer.       51:32).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Forehead       The practice common among Oriental nations of colouring the       forehead or impressing on it some distinctive mark as a sign of       devotion to some deity is alluded to in Rev. 13:16, 17; 14:9;       17:5; 20:4.                The "jewel on thy forehead" mentioned in Ezek. 16:12 (R.V., "a       ring upon thy nose") was in all probability the "nose-ring"       (Isa. 3:21).                In Ezek. 3:7 the word "impudent" is rightly rendered in the       Revised Version "an hard forehead." (See also ver. 8, 9.)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Fruit       a word as used in Scripture denoting produce in general, whether       vegetable or animal. The Hebrews divided the fruits of the land       into three classes:,                (1.) The fruit of the field, "corn-fruit" (Heb. dagan); all       kinds of grain and pulse.                (2.) The fruit of the vine, "vintage-fruit" (Heb. tirosh);       grapes, whether moist or dried.                (3.) "Orchard-fruits" (Heb. yitshar), as dates, figs, citrons,       etc.                Injunctions concerning offerings and tithes were expressed by       these Hebrew terms alone (Num. 18:12; Deut. 14:23). This word       "fruit" is also used of children or offspring (Gen. 30:2; Deut.       7:13; Luke 1:42; Ps. 21:10; 132:11); also of the progeny of       beasts (Deut. 28:51; Isa. 14:29).                It is used metaphorically in a variety of forms (Ps. 104:13;       Prov. 1:31; 11:30; 31:16; Isa. 3:10; 10:12; Matt. 3:8; 21:41;       26:29; Heb. 13:15; Rom. 7:4, 5; 15:28).                The fruits of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22, 23; Eph. 5:9; James 3:17,       18) are those gracious dispositions and habits which the Spirit       produces in those in whom he dwells and works.
