Yu-Shiang Whole Fish
From S23Wiki
 | This is the JargonFile (V4.00) entry for Yu-Shiang Whole Fish - Next: zap, Prev: yoyo mode |
| :Yu-Shiang Whole Fish: /yoo-shyang hohl fish/ /n. obs./ The character gamma (extended SAIL ASCII 0001001), which with a loop in its tail looks like a little fish swimming down the page. The term is actually the name of a Chinese dish in which a fish is cooked whole (not parsed) and covered with Yu-Shiang (or Yu-Hsiang) sauce. Usage: primarily by people on the MIT LISP Machine, which could display this character on the screen. Tends to elicit incredulity from people who hear about it second-hand. | |
