push
(Also PUSH /push/ or PUSHJ /pushJ/ , the latter based on the PDP-10
procedure call instruction.) 1. To put something onto a stack. If one says
that something has been pushed onto one's stack, it means that the Damoclean
list of things hanging over ones's head has grown longer and heavier yet.
This may also imply that one will deal with it before other pending items;
otherwise one might say that the thing was added to my queue. 2. vi. To
enter upon a digression, to save the current discussion for later. Antonym
of pop ; see also stack.
