:DPB: /d*-pib'/ [from the PDP-10 instruction set] vt. To plop
something down in the middle. Usage: silly. "DPB yourself into
that couch there." The connotation would be that the couch is
full except for one slot just big enough for one last person to sit
in. DPB means `DePosit Byte', and was the name of a PDP-10
instruction that inserts some bits into the middle of some other
bits. Hackish usage has been kept alive by the Common LISP function
of the same name.
