Oyster \Oys"ter\, n. [OF. oistre, F. hu[8c]tre, L. ostrea,       ostreum, Gr. 'o`streon; prob. akin to 'ostre`on bone, the       oyster being so named from its shell.

Ousterhout, John K.          {John Ousterhout}
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
Ousterhout's dichotomy          {John Ousterhout}'s division of {high-level       languages} into "system programming languages" and "scripting       languages".   This distinction underlies the design of his       language {Tcl}.          System programming languages (or "applications languages") are       {strongly typed}, allow arbitrarily complex {data structures},       and programs in them are {compiled}, and are meant to operate       largely independently of other programs.   Prototypical system       programming languages are {C} and {Modula-2}.          By contrast, scripting languages (or "glue languages") are       weakly typed or untyped, have little or no provision for       complex data structures, and programs in them ("{scripts}")       are {interpreted}.   Scripts need to interact either with other       programs (often as {glue}) or with a set of functions provided       by the interpreter, as with the {file system} functions       provided in a {UNIX shell} and with {Tcl}'s {GUI} functions.       Prototypical scripting languages are {AppleScript}, {C Shell},       MSDOS {batch files}, and {Tcl}.          Many believe that this is a highly arbitrary dichotomy, and       refer to it as "Ousterhout's fallacy" or "Ousterhout's false       dichotomy".   While strong-versus-weak typing, data structure       complexity, and independent versus stand-alone might be said       to be unrelated features, the usual critique of Ousterhout's       dichotomy is of its distinction of compilation versus       interpretation, since neither {semantics} nor {syntax} depend       significantly on whether code is compiled into       {machine-language}, interpreted, {tokenized}, or       {byte-compiled} at the start of each run, or any mixture of       these.   Many languages fall between being interpreted or       compiled (e.g. {Lisp}, {Forth}, {UCSD Pascal}, {Perl}, and       {Java}).   This makes compilation versus interpretation a       dubious parameter in a taxonomy of programming languages.          (2002-05-28)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Ostrich       (Lam. 4:3), the rendering of Hebrew pl. enim; so called from its       greediness and gluttony. The allusion here is to the habit of       the ostrich with reference to its eggs, which is thus described:       "The outer layer of eggs is generally so ill covered that they       are destroyed in quantities by jackals, wild-cats, etc., and       that the natives carry them away, only taking care not to leave       the marks of their footsteps, since, when the ostrich comes and       finds that her nest is discovered, she crushes the whole brood,       and builds a nest elsewhere." In Job 39:13 this word in the       Authorized Version is the rendering of a Hebrew word (notsah)       which means "feathers," as in the Revised Version. In the same       verse the word "peacocks" of the Authorized Version is the       rendering of the Hebrew pl. renanim, properly meaning       "ostriches," as in the Revised Version. (See {OWL} [1].)
