Note: The salmons ascend rivers and penetrate to their head                streams to spawn. They are remarkably strong fishes,                and will even leap over considerable falls which lie in                the way of their progress. The common salmon has been                known to grow to the weight of seventy-five pounds;                more generally it is from fifteen to twenty-five                pounds. Young salmon are called parr, peal, smolt, and                grilse. Among the true salmons are:          {Black salmon}, or {Lake salmon}, the namaycush.          {Dog salmon}, a salmon of Western North America             ({Oncorhynchus keta}).          {Humpbacked salmon}, a Pacific-coast salmon ({Oncorhynchus             gorbuscha}).          {King salmon}, the quinnat.          {Landlocked salmon}, a variety of the common salmon (var.             {Sebago}), long confined in certain lakes in consequence             of obstructions that prevented it from returning to the             sea.

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
Revision History          The original Jargon File was a collection of hacker jargon from    technical cultures including the MIT AI Lab, the Stanford AI lab    (SAIL), and others of the old ARPANET AI/LISP/PDP-10 communities    including Bolt, Beranek and Newman (BBN), Carnegie-Mellon University    (CMU), and Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI).          The Jargon File (hereafter referred to as `jargon-1' or `the File')    was begun by Raphael Finkel at Stanford in 1975.   From this time until    the plug was finally pulled on the SAIL computer in 1991, the File was    named AIWORD.RF[UP,DOC] there.   Some terms in it date back considerably    earlier ({frob} and some senses of {moby}, for instance, go back to the    Tech Model Railroad Club at MIT and are believed to date at least back    to the early 1960s).   The revisions of jargon-1 were all unnumbered and    may be collectively considered `Version 1'.          In 1976, Mark Crispin, having seen an announcement about the File on    the SAIL computer, {FTP}ed a copy of the File to MIT.   He noticed that    it was hardly restricted to `AI words' and so stored the file on his    directory as AI:MRC;SAIL JARGON.          The file was quickly renamed JARGON > (the `>' caused versioning    under ITS) as a flurry of enhancements were made by Mark Crispin and    Guy L.   Steele Jr.   Unfortunately, amidst all this activity, nobody    thought of correcting the term `jargon' to `slang' until the compendium    had already become widely known as the Jargon File.          Raphael Finkel dropped out of active participation shortly thereafter    and Don Woods became the SAIL contact for the File (which was    subsequently kept in duplicate at SAIL and MIT, with periodic    resynchronizations).          The File expanded by fits and starts until about 1983; Richard    Stallman was prominent among the contributors, adding many MIT and    ITS-related coinages.          In Spring 1981, a hacker named Charles Spurgeon got a large chunk of    the File published in Stewart Brand's "CoEvolution Quarterly" (issue    29, pages 26-35) with illustrations by Phil Wadler and Guy Steele    (including a couple of the Crunchly cartoons).   This appears to have    been the File's first paper publication.          A late version of jargon-1, expanded with commentary for the mass    market, was edited by Guy Steele into a book published in 1983 as "The    Hacker's Dictionary" (Harper & Row CN 1082, ISBN 0-06-091082-8).   The    other jargon-1 editors (Raphael Finkel, Don Woods, and Mark Crispin)    contributed to this revision, as did Richard M. Stallman and Geoff    Goodfellow.   This book (now out of print) is hereafter referred to as    `Steele-1983' and those six as the Steele-1983 coauthors.          Shortly after the publication of Steele-1983, the File effectively    stopped growing and changing.   Originally, this was due to a desire to    freeze the file temporarily to facilitate the production of    Steele-1983, but external conditions caused the `temporary' freeze to    become permanent.          The AI Lab culture had been hit hard in the late 1970s by funding    cuts and the resulting administrative decision to use vendor-supported    hardware and software instead of homebrew whenever possible.   At MIT,    most AI work had turned to dedicated LISP Machines.   At the same time,    the commercialization of AI technology lured some of the AI Lab's best    and brightest away to startups along the Route 128 strip in    Massachusetts and out West in Silicon Valley.   The startups built LISP    machines for MIT; the central MIT-AI computer became a {TWENEX} system    rather than a host for the AI hackers' beloved {ITS}.          The Stanford AI Lab had effectively ceased to exist by 1980, although    the SAIL computer continued as a Computer Science Department resource    until 1991.   Stanford became a major {TWENEX} site, at one point    operating more than a dozen TOPS-20 systems; but by the mid-1980s most    of the interesting software work was being done on the emerging BSD    Unix standard.          In April 1983, the PDP-10-centered cultures that had nourished the    File were dealt a death-blow by the cancellation of the Jupiter project    at Digital Equipment Corporation.   The File's compilers, already    dispersed, moved on to other things.   Steele-1983 was partly a monument    to what its authors thought was a dying tradition; no one involved    realized at the time just how wide its influence was to be.          By the mid-1980s the File's content was dated, but the legend that    had grown up around it never quite died out.   The book, and softcopies    obtained off the ARPANET, circulated even in cultures far removed from    MIT and Stanford; the content exerted a strong and continuing influence    on hacker language and humor.   Even as the advent of the microcomputer    and other trends fueled a tremendous expansion of hackerdom, the File    (and related materials such as the {Some AI Koans} in Appendix A) came    to be seen as a sort of sacred epic, a hacker-culture Matter of Britain    chronicling the heroic exploits of the Knights of the Lab.   The pace of    change in hackerdom at large accelerated tremendously -- but the Jargon    File, having passed from living document to icon, remained essentially    untouched for seven years.          This revision contains nearly the entire text of a late version of    jargon-1 (a few obsolete PDP-10-related entries were dropped after    careful consultation with the editors of Steele-1983).   It merges in    about 80% of the Steele-1983 text, omitting some framing material and a    very few entries introduced in Steele-1983 that are now also obsolete.          This new version casts a wider net than the old Jargon File; its aim    is to cover not just AI or PDP-10 hacker culture but all the technical    computing cultures wherein the true hacker-nature is manifested.   More    than half of the entries now derive from {Usenet} and represent jargon    now current in the C and Unix communities, but special efforts have    been made to collect jargon from other cultures including IBM PC    programmers, Amiga fans, Mac enthusiasts, and even the IBM mainframe    world.          Eric S. Raymond <> maintains the new File    with assistance from Guy L. Steele Jr. <>; these are the    persons primarily reflected in the File's editorial `we', though we    take pleasure in acknowledging the special contribution of the other    coauthors of Steele-1983.   Please email all additions, corrections, and    correspondence relating to the Jargon File to .          (Warning: other email addresses appear in this file _but are not    guaranteed to be correct_ later than the revision date on the first    line.   _Don't_ email us if an attempt to reach your idol bounces -- we    have no magic way of checking addresses or looking up people.)          The 2.9.6 version became the main text of "The New Hacker's    Dictionary", by Eric Raymond (ed.), MIT Press 1991, ISBN 0-262-68069-6.          The 3.0.0 version was published in September 1993 as the second    edition of "The New Hacker's Dictionary", again from MIT Press (ISBN    0-262-18154-1).          If you want the book, you should be able to find it at any of the    major bookstore chains.   Failing that, you can order by mail from          The MIT Press 55 Hayward Street Cambridge, MA 02142          or order by phone at (800)-356-0343 or (617)-625-8481.          The maintainers are committed to updating the on-line version of the    Jargon File through and beyond paper publication, and will continue to    make it available to archives and public-access sites as a trust of the    hacker community.          Here is a chronology of the high points in the recent on-line    revisions:          Version 2.1.1, Jun 12 1990: the Jargon File comes alive again after a    seven-year hiatus.   Reorganization and massive additions were by Eric S.    Raymond, approved by Guy Steele.   Many items of UNIX, C, USENET, and    microcomputer-based jargon were added at that time.          Version 2.9.6, Aug 16 1991: corresponds to reproduction copy for    book.   This version had 18952 lines, 148629 words, 975551 characters,    and 1702 entries.          Version 2.9.7, Oct 28 1991: first markup for hypertext browser.    This version had 19432 lines, 152132 words, 999595 characters, and 1750    entries.          Version 2.9.8, Jan 01 1992: first public release since the book,    including over fifty new entries and numerous corrections/additions to    old ones.   Packaged with version 1.1 of vh(1) hypertext reader.   This    version had 19509 lines, 153108 words, 1006023 characters, and 1760    entries.          Version 2.9.9, Apr 01 1992: folded in XEROX PARC lexicon.   This    version had 20298 lines, 159651 words, 1048909 characters, and 1821    entries.          Version 2.9.10, Jul 01 1992: lots of new historical material.   This    version had 21349 lines, 168330 words, 1106991 characters, and 1891    entries.          Version 2.9.11, Jan 01 1993: lots of new historical material.   This    version had 21725 lines, 171169 words, 1125880 characters, and 1922    entries.          Version 2.9.12, May 10 1993: a few new entries & changes, marginal    MUD/IRC slang and some borderline techspeak removed, all in preparation    for 2nd Edition of TNHD.   This version had 22238 lines, 175114 words,    1152467 characters, and 1946 entries.          Version 3.0.0, Jul 27 1993: manuscript freeze for 2nd edition of    TNHD.   This version had 22548 lines, 177520 words, 1169372 characters,    and 1961 entries.          Version 3.1.0, Oct 15 1994: interim release to test WWW conversion.    This version had 23197 lines, 181001 words, 1193818 characters, and    1990 entries.          Version 3.2.0, Mar 15 1995: Spring 1995 update.   This version had    23822 lines, 185961 words, 1226358 characters, and 2031 entries.          Version 3.3.0, Jan 20 1996: Winter 1996 update.   This version had    24055 lines, 187957 words, 1239604 characters, and 2045 entries.          Version 3.3.1, Jan 25 1996: Copy-corrected improvement on 3.3.0    shipped to MIT Press as a step towards TNHD III.   This version had    24147 lines, 188728 words, 1244554 characters, and 2050 entries.          Version 3.3.2, Mar 20 1996: A number of new entries pursuant on    3.3.2.   This version had 24442 lines, 190867 words, 1262468 characters,    and 2061 entries.          Version 3.3.3, Mar 25 1996: Cleanup before TNHD III manuscript    freeze.   This version had 24584 lines, 191932 words, 1269996    characters, and 2064 entries.          Version 4.0.0, Jul 25 1996: The actual TNHD III version after    copy-edit.   This version had 24801 lines, 193697 words, 1281402    characters, and 2067 entries.          Version 4.1.0, 8 Apr 1999: The Jargon File rides again after three    years.   This version had 25777 lines, 206825 words, 1359992 characters,    and 2217 entries.          Version 4.1.1, 18 Apr 1999: Corrections for minor errors in 4.1.0,    and some new entries. This version had 25921 lines, 208483 words,    1371279 characters, and 2225 entries.          Version 4.1.2, 28 Apr 1999: Moving texi2html out of the production    path.   This version had 26006 lines, 209479 words, 1377687 characters,    and 2225 entries.          Version 4.1.3, 14 Jun 1999: Minor updates and markup fixes.   This    version had 26108 lines, 210480 words, 1384546 characters, and 2234    entries.          Version 4.1.4, 17 Jun 1999: Markup fixes for framed HTML.   This    version had 26117 lines, 210527 words, 1384902 characters, and 2234    entries.          Version 4.2.0, 31 Jan 2000: Markup fixes for framed HTML.   This    version had 26598 lines, 214639 words, 1412243 characters, and 2267    entries.          Version numbering: Version numbers should be read as    major.minor.revision.   Major version 1 is reserved for the `old' (ITS)    Jargon File, jargon-1.   Major version 2 encompasses revisions by ESR    (Eric S. Raymond) with assistance from GLS (Guy L.   Steele, Jr.)    leading up to and including the second paper edition.   From now on,    major version number N.00 will probably correspond to the Nth paper    edition.   Usually later versions will either completely supersede or    incorporate earlier versions, so there is generally no point in keeping    old versions around.          Our thanks to the coauthors of Steele-1983 for oversight and    assistance, and to the hundreds of Usenetters (too many to name here)    who contributed entries and encouragement.   More thanks go to several    of the old-timers on the Usenet group alt.folklore.computers, who    contributed much useful commentary and many corrections and valuable    historical perspective: Joseph M. Newcomer <>,    Bernie Cosell <>, Earl Boebert <>, and    Joe Morris <>.          We were fortunate enough to have the aid of some accomplished    linguists.   David Stampe <> and Charles Hoequist    <> contributed valuable criticism; Joe Keane    <> helped us improve the pronunciation guides.          A few bits of this text quote previous works.   We are indebted to    Brian A. LaMacchia <> for obtaining permission    for us to use material from the "TMRC Dictionary"; also, Don Libes    <> contributed some appropriate material from his    excellent book "Life With UNIX".   We thank Per Lindberg    <>, author of the remarkable Swedish-language 'zine    "Hackerbladet", for bringing "FOO!" comics to our attention and    smuggling one of the IBM hacker underground's own baby jargon files out    to us.   Thanks also to Maarten Litmaath for generously allowing the    inclusion of the ASCII pronunciation guide he formerly maintained.   And    our gratitude to Marc Weiser of XEROX PARC    <> for securing us permission to quote from    PARC's own jargon lexicon and shipping us a copy.          It is a particular pleasure to acknowledge the major contributions of    Mark Brader <> and Steve Summit <> to the    File and Dictionary; they have read and reread many drafts, checked    facts, caught typos, submitted an amazing number of thoughtful    comments, and done yeoman service in catching typos and minor usage    bobbles.   Their rare combination of enthusiasm, persistence,    wide-ranging technical knowledge, and precisionism in matters of    language has been of invaluable help.   Indeed, the sustained volume and    quality of Mr. Brader's input over several years and several different    editions has only allowed him to escape co-editor credit by the    slimmest of margins.          Finally, George V. Reilly <> helped with TeX    arcana and painstakingly proofread some 2.7 and 2.8 versions, and Eric    Tiedemann <> contributed sage advice throughout on    rhetoric, amphigory, and philosophunculism.
