Blue Glue: n. [IBM] IBM's SNA (Systems Network Architecture),
an incredibly losing and bletcherous communications protocol
widely favored at commercial shops that don't know any better. The
official IBM definition is "that which binds blue boxes together."
See fear and loathing. It may not be irrelevant that Blue Glue is
the trade name of a 3M product that is commonly used to hold down
the carpet squares to the removable panel floors common in dinosaur
pens. A correspondent at U. Minn. reports that the CS department
there has about 80 bottles of the stuff hanging about, so they often
refer to any messy work to be done as `using the blue glue'.
