Tail \Tail\, n. [AS. t[91]gel, t[91]gl; akin to G. zagel, Icel. tagl, Sw. tagel, Goth. tagl hair. [fb]59.] 1. (Zo[94]l.) The terminal, and usually flexible, posterior appendage of an animal. Note: The tail of mammals and reptiles contains a series of movable vertebr[91], and is covered with flesh and hairs or scales like those of other parts of the body. The tail of existing birds consists of several more or less consolidated vertebr[91] which supports a fanlike group of quills to which the term tail is more particularly applied. The tail of fishes consists of the tapering hind portion of the body ending in a caudal fin. The term tail is sometimes applied to the entire abdomen of a crustacean or insect, and sometimes to the terminal piece or pygidium alone. 2. Any long, flexible terminal appendage; whatever resembles, in shape or position, the tail of an animal, as a catkin. Doretus writes a great praise of the distilled waters of those tails that hang on willow trees. --Harvey. 3. Hence, the back, last, lower, or inferior part of anything, -- as opposed to the {head}, or the superior part. The Lord will make thee the head, and not the tail. --Deut. xxviii. 13. 4. A train or company of attendants; a retinue. [bd]Ah,[b8] said he, [bd]if you saw but the chief with his tail on.[b8] --Sir W. Scott. 5. The side of a coin opposite to that which bears the head, effigy, or date; the reverse; -- rarely used except in the expression [bd]heads or tails,[b8] employed when a coin is thrown up for the purpose of deciding some point by its fall. 6. (Anat.) The distal tendon of a muscle. 7. (Bot.) A downy or feathery appendage to certain achenes. It is formed of the permanent elongated style. 8. (Surg.) (a) A portion of an incision, at its beginning or end, which does not go through the whole thickness of the skin, and is more painful than a complete incision; -- called also {tailing}. (b) One of the strips at the end of a bandage formed by splitting the bandage one or more times. 9. (Naut.) A rope spliced to the strap of a block, by which it may be lashed to anything. 10. (Mus.) The part of a note which runs perpendicularly upward or downward from the head; the stem. --Moore (Encyc. of Music). 11. pl. Same as {Tailing}, 4. 12. (Arch.) The bottom or lower portion of a member or part, as a slate or tile. 13. pl. (Mining) See {Tailing}, n., 5. {Tail beam}. (Arch.) Same as {Tailpiece}. {Tail coverts} (Zo[94]l.), the feathers which cover the bases of the tail quills. They are sometimes much longer than the quills, and form elegant plumes. Those above the quills are called the {upper tail coverts}, and those below, the {under tail coverts}. {Tail end}, the latter end; the termination; as, the tail end of a contest. [Colloq.] {Tail joist}. (Arch.) Same as {Tailpiece}. {Tail of a comet} (Astron.), a luminous train extending from the nucleus or body, often to a great distance, and usually in a direction opposite to the sun. {Tail of a gale} (Naut.), the latter part of it, when the wind has greatly abated. --Totten. {Tail of a lock} (on a canal), the lower end, or entrance into the lower pond. {Tail of the trenches} (Fort.), the post where the besiegers begin to break ground, and cover themselves from the fire of the place, in advancing the lines of approach. {Tail spindle}, the spindle of the tailstock of a turning lathe; -- called also {dead spindle}. {To turn tail}, to run away; to flee. Would she turn tail to the heron, and fly quite out another way; but all was to return in a higher pitch. --Sir P. Sidney. | |

Tailing \Tail"ing\, n. 1. (Arch.) The part of a projecting stone or brick inserted in a wall. --Gwilt. 2. (Surg.) Same as {Tail}, n., 8 (a) . 3. Sexual intercourse. [Obs.] --Chaucer. 4. pl. The lighter parts of grain separated from the seed threshing and winnowing; chaff. 5. pl. (Mining) The refuse part of stamped ore, thrown behind the tail of the buddle or washing apparatus.

toy language n. A language useful for instructional purposes or as a proof-of-concept for some aspect of computer-science theory, but inadequate for general-purpose programming. {Bad Thing}s can result when a toy language is promoted as a general purpose solution for programming (see {bondage-and-discipline language}); the classic example is {{Pascal}}. Several moderately well-known formalisms for conceptual tasks such as programming Turing machines also qualify as toy languages in a less negative sense. See also {MFTL}. | |
