get into a long discussion. "Don't you think that we could

there are some extra cache bits for the {microcode} to use?"

memory, thanks to the card I'm testing for Mumbleco."

4. A conversational wild card used to designate something one
doesn't want to bother spelling out, but which can be
{glark}ed from context. Compare {blurgle}.

5. [XEROX PARC] A colloquialism used to suggest that further
discussion would be fruitless.
