:cookie monster: /n./ [from the children's TV program
"Sesame Street"] Any of a family of early (1970s) hacks
reported on {{TOPS-10}}, {{ITS}}, {{Multics}}, and elsewhere
that would lock up either the victim's terminal (on a time-sharing
machine) or the {{console}} (on a batch {mainframe}),
repeatedly demanding "I WANT A COOKIE". The required responses
ranged in complexity from "COOKIE" through "HAVE A COOKIE" and
upward. Folklorist Jan Brunvand (see {FOAF}) has described
these programs as urban legends (implying they probably never
existed) but they existed, all right, in several different
versions. See also {wabbit}. Interestingly, the term `cookie
monster' appears to be a {retcon}; the original term was
{cookie bear}.

:copious free time: /n./ [Apple; orig. fr. the intro to Tom
Lehrer's song "It Makes A Fellow Proud To Be A Soldier"]
1. [used ironically to indicate the speaker's lack of the quantity
in question] A mythical schedule slot for accomplishing tasks held
to be unlikely or impossible. Sometimes used to indicate that the
speaker is interested in accomplishing the task, but believes that
the opportunity will not arise. "I'll implement the automatic
layout stuff in my copious free time." 2. [Archly] Time reserved
for bogus or otherwise idiotic tasks, such as implementation of
{chrome}, or the stroking of {suit}s. "I'll get back to him
on that feature in my copious free time."

:copper: /n./ Conventional electron-carrying network cable with
