wetware

[prob.: from the novels of Rudy Rucker]

The human nervous system, as opposed to computer hardware or software. "Wetware has 7 plus or minus 2 temporary registers."
Human beings (programmers, operators, administrators) attached to a computer system, as opposed to the system's hardware or software. See {liveware}, {meatware}.

FISH queue

[acronym, by analogy with FIFO (First In, First Out)] `First In, Still Here'. A joking way of pointing out that processing of a particular sequence of events or requests has stopped dead. Also FISH mode and FISHnet; the latter may be applied to any network that is running really slowly or exhibiting extreme flakiness.
