   Gold \Gold\ (g[omac]ld), n. [AS. gold; akin to D. goud, OS. & G.
      gold, Icel. gull, Sw. & Dan. guld, Goth. gul[thorn], Russ. &
      OSlav. zlato; prob. akin to E. yellow. [root]49, 234. See
      {Yellow}, and cf. {Gild}, v. t.]
      1. (Chem.) A metallic element, constituting the most precious
            metal used as a common commercial medium of exchange. It
            has a characteristic yellow color, is one of the heaviest
            substances known (specific gravity 19.32), is soft, and
            very malleable and ductile. It is quite unalterable by
            heat, moisture, and most corrosive agents, and therefore
            well suited for its use in coin and jewelry. Symbol Au
            (Aurum). Atomic weight 196.7.
  
      Note: Native gold contains usually eight to ten per cent of
               silver, but often much more. As the amount of silver
               increases, the color becomes whiter and the specific
               gravity lower. Gold is very widely disseminated, as in
               the sands of many rivers, but in very small quantity.
               It usually occurs in quartz veins (gold quartz), in
               slate and metamorphic rocks, or in sand and alluvial
               soil, resulting from the disintegration of such rocks.
               It also occurs associated with other metallic
               substances, as in auriferous pyrites, and is combined
               with tellurium in the minerals petzite, calaverite,
               sylvanite, etc. Pure gold is too soft for ordinary use,
               and is hardened by alloying with silver and copper, the
               latter giving a characteristic reddish tinge. [See
               {Carat}.] Gold also finds use in gold foil, in the
               pigment purple of Cassius, and in the chloride, which
               is used as a toning agent in photography.
  
      2. Money; riches; wealth.
  
                     For me, the gold of France did not seduce. --Shak.

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   glitch /glich/   [very common; from German `glitschig' to slip,
   via Yiddish `glitshen', to slide or skid] 1. n. A sudden
   interruption in electric service, sanity, continuity, or program
   function.   Sometimes recoverable.   An interruption in electric
   service is specifically called a `power glitch' (also {power hit}),
   of grave concern because it usually crashes all the computers.   In
   jargon, though, a hacker who got to the middle of a sentence and
   then forgot how he or she intended to complete it might say, "Sorry,
   I just glitched".   2. vi. To commit a glitch.   See {gritch}.   3. vt.
   [Stanford] To scroll a display screen, esp. several lines at a
   time.   {{WAITS}} terminals used to do this in order to avoid
   continuous scrolling, which is distracting to the eye.   4. obs.
   Same as {magic cookie}, sense 2.
  
      All these uses of `glitch' derive from the specific technical
   meaning the term has in the electronic hardware world, where it is
   now techspeak.   A glitch can occur when the inputs of a circuit
   change, and the outputs change to some {random} value for some very
   brief time before they settle down to the correct value.   If another
   circuit inspects the output at just the wrong time, reading the
   random value, the results can be very wrong and very hard to debug
   (a glitch is one of many causes of electronic {heisenbug}s).
