On a Stanford or MIT    keyboard in {raw mode}, use of four shift keys while typing a fifth    character, where the four shift keys are the control and meta keys    on _both_ sides of the keyboard.   This was very difficult to do!    One accepted technique was to press the left-control and left-meta    keys with your left hand, the right-control and right-meta keys with    your right hand, and the fifth key with your nose.          Quadruple-bucky combinations were very seldom used in practice,    because when one invented a new command one usually assigned it to    some character that was easier to type.   If you want to imply that a    program has ridiculously many commands or features, you can say    something like: "Oh, the command that makes it spin the tapes while    whistling Beethoven's Fifth Symphony is quadruple-bucky-cokebottle."    See {double bucky}, {bucky bits}, {cokebottle}.
