In man and many animals mixed saliva, i.e.,                saliva composed of the secretions of all three of the                salivary glands, is an important digestive fluid on                account of the presence of the peculiar enzyme,                ptyalin.

Sloop \Sloop\, n.[D. sloep, of uncertain origin. Cf. {Shallop}.]       (Naut.)       A vessel having one mast and fore-and-aft rig, consisting of       a boom-and-gaff mainsail, jibs, staysail, and gaff topsail.       The typical sloop has a fixed bowsprit, topmast, and standing       rigging, while those of a cutter are capable of being readily       shifted. The sloop usually carries a centerboard, and depends       for stability upon breadth of beam rather than depth of keel.       The two types have rapidly approximated since 1880. One       radical distinction is that a slop may carry a centerboard.       See {Cutter}, and Illustration in Appendix.          {Sloop of war}, formerly, a vessel of war rigged either as a             ship, brig, or schooner, and mounting from ten to             thirty-two guns; now, any war vessel larger than a             gunboat, and carrying guns on one deck only.

slab [Apple]   1. n. A continuous horizontal line of pixels, all    with the same color.   2. vi. To paint a slab on an output device.    Apple's QuickDraw, like most other professional-level graphics    systems, renders polygons and lines not with Bresenham's algorithm,    but by calculating `slab points' for each scan line on the screen in    succession, and then slabbing in the actual image pixels.
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
sleep vi.   1. [techspeak] To relinquish a claim (of a process    on a multitasking system) for service; to indicate to the scheduler    that a process may be deactivated until some given event occurs or a    specified time delay elapses.   2. In jargon, used very similarly to    v. {block}; also in `sleep on', syn. with `block on'.   Often used to    indicate that the speaker has relinquished a demand for resources    until some (possibly unspecified) external event: "They can't get    the fix I've been asking for into the next release, so I'm going to    sleep on it until the release, then start hassling them again."
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
slop n.   1. A one-sided {fudge factor}, that is, an allowance    for error but in only one of two directions.   For example, if you    need a piece of wire 10 feet long and have to guess when you cut it,    you make very sure to cut it too long, by a large amount if    necessary, rather than too short by even a little bit, because you    can always cut off the slop but you can't paste it back on again.    When discrete quantities are involved, slop is often introduced to    avoid the possibility of being on the losing side of a {fencepost    error}.   2. The percentage of `extra' code generated by a compiler    over the size of equivalent assembler code produced by    {hand-hacking}; i.e., the space (or maybe time) you lose because you    didn't do it yourself.   This number is often used as a measure of    the goodness of a compiler; slop below 5% is very good, and 10% is    usually acceptable.   With modern compiler technology, esp. on RISC    machines, the compiler's slop may actually be _negative_; that is,    humans may be unable to generate code as good.   This is one of the    reasons assembler programming is no longer common.

SCALLOP          A medium-level language for {CDC}       computers, used to {bootstrap} the first {Pascal} {compiler}.          (1994-11-01)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
Self          A small, {dynamically typed} {object-oriented       language}, based purely on {prototypes} and {delegation}.       Self was developed by the Self Group at {Sun Microsystems       Laboratories, Inc.} and {Stanford University}.   It is an       experimental {exploratory programming} language.          Release 2.0 introduces full {source-level debugging} of       optimised code, adaptive optimisation to shorten compile       pauses, {lightweight threads} within Self, support for       dynamically linking {foreign functions}, changing programs       within Self and the ability to run the experimental Self       graphical browser under {OpenWindows}.   Designed for       expressive power and malleability, Self combines a pure,       {prototype}-based object model with uniform access to state       and behaviour.   Unlike other languages, Self allows objects to       inherit state and to change their patterns of inheritance       dynamically.   Self's customising compiler can generate very       efficient code compared to other dynamically-typed       object-oriented languages.          Version: 3.0 runs on {Sun-3} (no optimiser) and {Sun-4}.          {Home (http://www.sunlabs.com/research/self/)}.          ["Self: The Power of Simplicity", David Ungar       et al, SIGPLAN Notices 22(12):227-242,       OOPSLA '87, Dec 1987].          (1999-06-09)

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
sleep          1. (Or "{block}") When a       {process} on a {multitasking} system asks the {scheduler} to       deactivate it until some given external event (e.g. an       {interrupt} or a specified time delay) occurs.          The alternative is to {poll} or "{busy wait}" for the event       but this uses processing power.          Also used in the phrase "sleep on" (or "block on") some       external event, meaning to wait for it.          E.g. the {Unix} command of the same name which pauses the       current process for a given number of seconds.          2. To go into partial deactivation to save power.          [{Jargon File}]          (2000-09-25)

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
slop          1. A one-sided {fudge factor}, that is, an allowance       for error but in only one of two directions.   For example, if       you need a piece of wire 10 feet long and have to guess when       you cut it, you make very sure to cut it too long, by a large       amount if necessary, rather than too short by even a little       bit, because you can always cut off the slop but you can't       paste it back on again.   When discrete quantities are       involved, slop is often introduced to avoid the possibility of       being on the losing side of a {fencepost error}.          2. The percentage of "extra" code generated by a compiler over       the size of equivalent {assembly code} produced by       {hand-hacking}; i.e. the space (or maybe time) you lose because       you didn't do it yourself.   This number is often used as a       measure of the quality of a compiler; slop below 5% is very       good, and 10% is usually acceptable.   Modern compilers,       especially on {RISC}s, may actually have *negative* slop; that       is, they may generate better code than humans.   This is one of       the reasons assembler programming is becoming less common.          [{Jargon File}]          (1995-05-28)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Slave       Jer. 2:14 (A.V.), but not there found in the original. In Rev.       18:13 the word "slaves" is the rendering of a Greek word meaning       "bodies." The Hebrew and Greek words for slave are usually       rendered simply "servant," "bondman," or "bondservant." Slavery       as it existed under the Mosaic law has no modern parallel. That       law did not originate but only regulated the already existing       custom of slavery (Ex. 21:20, 21, 26, 27; Lev. 25:44-46; Josh.       9:6-27). The gospel in its spirit and genius is hostile to       slavery in every form, which under its influence is gradually       disappearing from among men.
