From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
What's a spline?   [XEROX PARC] This phrase expands to: "You    have just used a term that I've heard for a year and a half, and I    feel I should know, but don't.   My curiosity has finally overcome my    guilt."   The PARC lexicon adds "Moral: don't hesitate to ask    questions, even if they seem obvious."
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
What You See Is All You Get          (WYSIAYG) /wiz'ee-ayg/ Describes a user interface       under which "What You See Is *All* You Get"; an unhappy       variant of {WYSIWYG}.   Visual, "{point-and-drool interfaces}"       are easy to learn but often lack depth; they often frustrate       advanced users who would be better served by a command-style       interface.   When this happens, the frustrated user has a       WYSIAYG problem.          This term is most often used of editors, {word processors},       and document formatting programs.   WYSIWYG "{desktop       publishing}" programs, for example, are a clear win for       creating small documents with lots of fonts and graphics in       them, especially things like newsletters and presentation       slides.   When typesetting book-length manuscripts, on the       other hand, scale changes the nature of the task; one quickly       runs into WYSIAYG limitations, and the increased power and       flexibility of a command-driven formatter like {TeX} or       {Unix}'s {troff} becomes not just desirable but a necessity.          Compare {YAFIYGI}.          (1999-03-03)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
What You See Is What You Get          (WYSIWYG) /wiz'ee-wig/ Describes a user interface for       a document preparation system under which changes are       represented by displaying a more-or-less accurate image of the       way the document will finally appear, e.g. when printed.   This       is in contrast to one that uses more-or-less obscure commands       that do not result in immediate visual feedback.          True WYSIWYG in environments supporting multiple fonts or       graphics is rarely-attained; there are variants of this term       to express real-world manifestations including WYSIAWYG (What       You See Is *Almost* What You Get) and WYSIMOLWYG (What You See       Is More or Less What You Get).   All these can be mildly       derogatory, as they are often used to refer to dumbed-down       {user-friendly} interfaces targeted at non-programmers; a       hacker has no fear of obscure commands (compare {WYSIAYG}).       On the other hand, {Emacs} was one of the very first WYSIWYG       editors, replacing (actually, at first overlaying) the       extremely obscure, command-based {TECO}.          See also {WIMP}.          (1999-03-03)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Watches       the periods into which the time between sunset and sunrise was       divided. They are so called because watchmen relieved each other       at each of these periods. There are frequent references in       Scripture to the duties of watchmen who were appointed to give       notice of the approach of an enemy (2 Sam. 18:24-27; 2 Kings       9:17-20; Isa. 21:5-9). They were sometimes placed for this       purpose on watch-towers (2 Kings 17:9; 18:8). Ministers or       teachers are also spoken of under this title (Jer. 6:17; Ezek.       33:2-9; Heb. 13:17).                The watches of the night were originally three in number, (1)       "the beginning of the watches" (Lam. 2:19); (2) "the middle       watch" (Judg. 7:19); and (3) "the morning watch" (Ex. 14:24; 1       Sam. 11:11), which extended from two o'clock to sunrise. But in       the New Testament we read of four watches, a division probably       introduced by the Romans (Matt. 14:25; Mark 6:48; Luke 12:38).       (See {DAY}.)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Witchcraft       (1 Sam. 15:23; 2 Kings 9:22; 2 Chr. 33:6; Micah 5:12; Nahum 3:4;       Gal. 5:20). In the popular sense of the word no mention is made       either of witches or of witchcraft in Scripture.                The "witch of En-dor" (1 Sam. 28) was a necromancer, i.e., one       who feigned to hold converse with the dead. The damsel with "a       spirit of divination" (Acts 16:16) was possessed by an evil       spirit, or, as the words are literally rendered, "having a       spirit, a pithon." The reference is to the heathen god Apollo,       who was regarded as the god of prophecy.
