BARFING AS THE LEXICON SAYS
/barf/ [from mainstream slang meaning `vomit'] 1. interj. Term of disgust.
This is the
closest hackish equivalent of the Val\-speak "gag me with a spoon".
(Like, euwww!) See
{bletch}. 2. vi. To say "Barf!" or emit some similar expression of disgust.
"I showed him
my latest hack and he barfed" means only that he complained about it,
not that he
literally vomited. 3. vi. To fail to work because of unacceptable input,
perhaps with a
suitable error message, perhaps not.
Examples: "The division operation barfs if you try
to divide by 0."
(That is, the division operation checks for an attempt to divide by zero,
and if one is encountered it causes the operation to fail in
some unspecified, but
generally obvious, manner.)
"The text editor barfs if you try to read in a new file
before writing out the old one.
" See {choke}, {gag}. In Commonwealth Hackish, `barf'
is generally replaced by `puke' or `vom'.
{barf} is sometimes also used as a
{metasyntactic variable}, like {foo} or {bar}.
