overflow pdl n.
[MIT] The place where you put things when
your PDL is full. If you don't have one and too many things
get pushed, you forget something. The overflow pdl for a person's
memory might be a memo pad. This usage inspired the following
doggerel:
Hey, diddle, diddle
The overflow pdl
To get a little more stack;
If that's not enough
Then you lose it all,
And have to pop all the way back.
-The Great Quux
The term `pdl' (see PDL) seems to be primarily an MITism;
outside MIT this term is replaced by `overflow stack' (but
that wouldn't rhyme with `diddle').
