in thread Where to find info on low level perl internals names?

It's in the OED

outside of a dictionary definition

with around a century of usage; etymologically it appears to be a combination of "globe" and "blob".

I already read that definition.

it's an active word

Proof?


With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
