From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   wall wart n.   A small power-supply brick with integral male
   plug, designed to plug directly into a wall outlet; called a `wart'
   because when installed on a power strip it tends to block up at
   least one more socket than it uses..   These are frequently
   associated with modems and other small electronic devices which
   would become unacceptably bulky or hot if they had power supplies on
   board (there are other reasons as well having to do with the cost of
   UL certification).
  
  

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   well-ordered set
  
      A set with a {total ordering} and no infinite
      descending {chains}.   A total ordering "<=" satisfies
  
      x <= x
  
      x <= y <= z   =>   x <= z
  
      x <= y <= x   =>   x = y
  
      for all x, y: x <= y or y <= x
  
      In addition, if a set W is well-ordered then all non-empty
      subsets A of W have a least element, i.e. there exists x in A
      such that for all y in A, x <= y.
  
      {Ordinals} are {isomorphism classes} of {well-ordered sets},
      just as {integers} are {isomorphism classes} of finite sets.
