{Retard, [or] Age}, {of the tide}, the interval between the             transit of the moon at which a tide originates and the             appearance of the tide itself. It is found, in general,             that any particular tide is not principally due to the             moon's transit immediately proceeding, but to a transit             which has occured some time before, and which is said to             correspond to it. The retard of the tide is thus             distinguished from the lunitidal interval. See under             {Retardation}. --Ham. Nav. Encyc.

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
off the trolley adj.   Describes the behavior of a program that    malfunctions and goes catatonic, but doesn't actually {crash} or    abort.   See {glitch}, {bug}, {deep space}, {wedged}.          This term is much older than computing, and is (uncommon) slang    elsewhere.   A trolley is the small wheel that trolls, or runs    against, the heavy wire that carries the current to run a streetcar.    It's at the end of the long pole (the trolley pole) that reaches    from the roof of the streetcar to the overhead line.   When the    trolley stops making contact with the wire (from passing through a    switch, going over bumpy track, or whatever), the streetcar comes to    a halt, (usually) without crashing.   The streetcar is then said to    be off the trolley, or off the wire.   Later on, trolley came to mean    the streetcar itself.   Since streetcars became common in the 1890s,    the term is more than 100 years old.   Nowadays, trolleys are only    seen on historic streetcars, since modern streetcars use pantographs    to contact the wire.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Obed-Edom       servant of Edom. (1.) "The Gittite" (probably so called because       he was a native of Gath-rimmon), a Levite of the family of the       Korhites (1 Chr. 26:1, 4-8), to whom was specially intrusted the       custody of the ark (1 Chr. 15:18). When David was bringing up       the ark "from the house of Abinadab, that was in Gibeah"       (probably some hill or eminence near Kirjath-jearim), and had       reached Nachon's threshing-floor, he became afraid because of       the "breach upon Uzzah," and carried it aside into the house of       Obededom (2 Sam. 6:1-12). There it remained for six months, and       was to him and his house the occasion of great blessing. David       then removed it with great rejoicing to Jerusalem, and set it in       the midst of the tabernacle he had pitched for it.                (2.) A Merarite Levite, a temple porter, who with his eight       sons guarded the southern gate (1 Chr. 15:18, 21; 26:4, 8, 15).                (3.) One who had charge of the temple treasures (2 Chr.       25:24).
