From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   cd tilde /C-D til-d*/ vi.   To go home.   From the Unix C-shell
   and Korn-shell command `cd ~', which takes one to one's `$HOME'
   (`cd' with no arguments happens to do the same thing).   By
   extension, may be used with other arguments; thus, over an
   electronic chat link, `cd ~coffee' would mean "I'm going to the
   coffee machine."
  
  

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:

      Korn-shell command "cd ~", which takes one to one's "$HOME"
      directory.   "cd" with no arguments does the same thing.
