snarf & barf

created by everyone

(thing) by Jargon (1.8 y) (print)   ?   (I like it!) Fri Apr 28 2000 at 23:37:18

snarf = S = snarf down

snarf & barf /snarf'n-barf`/ n.

Under a WIMP environment, the act of grabbing a region of text and then stuffing the contents of that region into another region (or the same one) to avoid retyping a command line. In the late 1960s, this was a mainstream expression for an `eat now, regret it later' cheap-restaurant expedition.
