BLT
n : sandwich filled with slices of bacon and tomato with lettuce
[syn: {bacon-lettuce-tomato sandwich}, {BLT}]
From Jargon File (4.2.3, 23 NOV 2000) [jargon]:
BLT /B-L-T/, /bl*t/ or (rarely) /belt/ n.,vt. Synonym for
{blit}. This is the original form of {blit} and the ancestor of
{bitblt}. It referred to any large bit-field copy or move operation
(one resource-intensive memory-shuffling operation done on pre-paged
versions of ITS WAITS, and TOPS-10 was sardonically referred to as `The
Big BLT'). The jargon usage has outlasted the {PDP-10} BLock Transfer
instruction from which {BLT} derives; nowadays, the assembler mnemonic
{BLT} almost always means `Branch if Less Than zero'.
