state: n. 1. Condition, situation. "What's the state of your
latest hack?" "It's winning away." "The system tried to read and
write the disk simultaneously and got into a totally wedged
state." The standard question "What's your state?" means "What are
you doing?" or "What are you about to do?" Typical answers are
"about to gronk out", or "hungry". Another standard question is
"What's the state of the world?", meaning "What's new?" or "What's
going on?". The more terse and humorous way of asking these
questions would be "State-p?". Another way of phrasing the first
question under sense 1 would be "state-p latest hack?". 2.
