BLOB
Used by database people to refer to any random large block of bits that
needs to be stored in a database, such as a picture or sound file. The
essential point about a BLOB is that it's an object that cannot be
interpreted within the database itself. 2. v. To mailbomb someone by sending
a BLOB to him/her; esp. used as a mild threat. If that program crashes
again, I'm going to BLOB the core dump to you.
