Soap \Soap\, n.

Cf. {Saponaceous}.]       A substance which dissolves in water, thus forming a lather,       and is used as a cleansing agent. Soap is produced by       combining fats or oils with alkalies or alkaline earths,       usually by boiling, and consists of salts of sodium,       potassium, etc., with the fatty acids (oleic, stearic,       palmitic, etc.). See the Note below, and cf.       {Saponification}. By extension, any compound of similar       composition or properties, whether used as a cleaning agent       or not.          Note: In general, soaps are of two classes, hard and soft.                Calcium, magnesium, lead, etc., form soaps, but they                are insoluble and useless.                            The purifying action of soap depends upon the                         fact that it is decomposed by a large quantity of                         water into free alkali and an insoluble acid                         salt. The first of these takes away the fatty                         dirt on washing, and the latter forms the soap                         lather which envelops the greasy matter and thus                         tends to remove it.                        --Roscoe &                                                                               Schorlemmer.          {Castile soap}, a fine-grained hard soap, white or mottled,             made of olive oil and soda; -- called also {Marseilles,             [or] Venetian, soap}.          {Hard soap}, any one of a great variety of soaps, of             different ingredients and color, which are hard and             compact.

patch space n.   An unused block of bits left in a binary so    that it can later be modified by insertion of machine-language    instructions there (typically, the patch space is modified to    contain new code, and the superseded code is patched to contain a    jump or call to the patch space).   The near-universal use of    compilers and interpreters has made this term rare; it is now    primarily historical outside IBM shops.   See {patch} (sense 4),    {zap} (sense 4), {hook}.
