Dissociated Press n.   [play on `Associated Press'; perhaps    inspired by a reference in the 1950 Bugs Bunny cartoon "What's Up,    Doc?"] An algorithm for transforming any text into potentially    humorous garbage even more efficiently than by passing it through a    {marketroid}.   The algorithm starts by printing any N consecutive    words (or letters) in the text.   Then at every step it searches for    any random occurrence in the original text of the last N words (or    letters) already printed and then prints the next word or letter.    {EMACS} has a handy command for this.   Here is a short example of    word-based Dissociated Press applied to an earlier version of this    Jargon File:          wart: n. A small, crocky {feature} that sticks out of an array (C       has no checks for this).   This is relatively benign and easy to       spot if the phrase is bent so as to be not worth paying attention       to the medium in question.          Here is a short example of letter-based Dissociated Press applied    to the same source:          window sysIWYG: n.

digest          A periodical collection of messages which have been posted to       a {newsgroup} or {mailing list}.   A digest is prepared by a       {moderator} who selects articles from the group or list,       formats them and adds a contents list.   The digest is then       either mailed to an alternative {mailing list} or posted to an       alternative newsgroup.          Some {news reader}s and {electronic mail} programs provide       commands to "undigestify" a digest, i.e. to split it up into       individual articles which may then be read and saved or       discarded separately.
