:bondage-and-discipline language: /n./ A language (such as
{{Pascal}}, {{Ada}}, APL, or Prolog) that, though ostensibly
general-purpose, is designed so as to enforce an author's theory of
`right programming' even though said theory is demonstrably
inadequate for systems hacking or even vanilla general-purpose
programming. Often abbreviated `B&D'; thus, one may speak of
things "having the B&D nature". See {{Pascal}}; oppose
{languages of choice}.

:bonk/oif: /bonk/, /oyf/ /interj./ In the {MUD}
community, it has become traditional to express pique or censure by
`bonking' the offending person. Convention holds that one should
acknowledge a bonk by saying `oif!' and there is a myth to the

causing much trouble in the universe. Some MUDs have implemented
special commands for bonking and oifing. See also {talk mode}.

:book titles:: There is a tradition in hackerdom of
informally tagging important textbooks and standards documents with
the dominant color of their covers or with some other conspicuous
feature of the cover. Many of these are described in this lexicon

{Camel Book}, {Cinderella Book}, {Devil Book}, {Dragon
Book}, {Green Book}, {Orange Book}, {Pink-Shirt Book},
{Purple Book}, {Red Book}, {Silver Book}, {White Book},
{Wizard Book}, {Yellow Book}, and {bible}; see also
{rainbow series}. Since about 1983 this tradition has gotten a
boost from the popular O'Reilly Associates line of technical books,
