Soap bubble
(gcide) | Soap \Soap\, n. [OE. sope, AS. s[=a]pe; akin to D. zeep, G.
seife, OHG. seifa, Icel. s[=a]pa, Sw. s?pa, Dan. s?be, and
perhaps to AS. s[imac]pan to drip, MHG. s[imac]fen, and L.
sebum tallow. Cf. Saponaceous.]
A substance which dissolves in water, thus forming a lather,
and is used as a cleansing agent. Soap is produced by
combining fats or oils with alkalies or alkaline earths,
usually by boiling, and consists of salts of sodium,
potassium, etc., with the fatty acids (oleic, stearic,
palmitic, etc.). See the Note below, and cf.
Saponification. By extension, any compound of similar
composition or properties, whether used as a cleaning agent
or not.
[1913 Webster]
Note: In general, soaps are of two classes, hard and soft.
Calcium, magnesium, lead, etc., form soaps, but they
are insoluble and useless.
[1913 Webster]
The purifying action of soap depends upon the
fact that it is decomposed by a large quantity of
water into free alkali and an insoluble acid
salt. The first of these takes away the fatty
dirt on washing, and the latter forms the soap
lather which envelops the greasy matter and thus
tends to remove it. --Roscoe &
Schorlemmer.
[1913 Webster]
Castile soap, a fine-grained hard soap, white or mottled,
made of olive oil and soda; -- called also {Marseilles

compact. All solid soaps are of this class.

externally in medicine. Called also lead plaster,
diachylon, etc.

Potash soap, any soap made with potash, esp. the soft
soaps, and a hard soap made from potash and castor oil.
Pumice soap, any hard soap charged with a gritty powder, as
silica, alumina, powdered pumice, etc., which assists

Resin soap, a yellow soap containing resin, -- used in
bleaching.
Silicated soap, a cheap soap containing water glass (sodium
silicate).
Soap bark. (Bot.) See Quillaia bark.
Soap bubble, a hollow iridescent globe, formed by blowing a

Shairp.
[1913 Webster]

and the subacetate of lead, sometimes used as an

etc., used in making soap.

and alcohol.

of soap, as the Chlorogalum pomeridianum, a California
plant, the bulb of which, when stripped of its husk and
rubbed on wet clothes, makes a thick lather, and smells
not unlike new brown soap. It is called also soap apple,
soap bulb, and soap weed.
Soap tree. (Bot.) Same as Soapberry tree.
Soda soap, a soap containing a sodium salt. The soda soaps
are all hard soaps.
Soft soap, a soap of a gray or brownish yellow color, and
of a slimy, jellylike consistence, made from potash or the

contains glycerin, and is used in scouring wood, in
cleansing linen, in dyehouses, etc. Figuratively,

bubble memory
(foldoc) | bubble memory
A storage device built using materials such as gadolinium
gallium garnet which are can be magnetised easily in only one
direction. A film of these materials can be created so that
it is magnetisable in an up-down direction. The magnetic
fields tend to join together, some with the north pole facing
up, some with the south.
When a veritcal magnetic field is imposed on this, the areas
in opposite alignment to the field shrink to circles, or
'bubbles'. A bubble can be formed by reversing the field in a
small spot, and can be destroyed by increasing the field.
Bubble memory is a kind of non-volatile storage but
EEPROM, Flash Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory and
ferroelectric technologies, which are also non-volatile, are
faster.

bubble sort
(foldoc) | bubble sort
A sorting technique in which pairs of adjacent values in the
list to be sorted are compared and interchanged if they are
out of order; thus, list entries "bubble upward" in the list
until they bump into one with a lower sort value. Because it
is not very good relative to other methods and is the one
typically stumbled on by naive and untutored programmers,
hackers consider it the canonical example of a naive
algorithm. The canonical example of a really *bad* algorithm
is bogo-sort. A bubble sort might be used out of ignorance,
but any use of bogo-sort could issue only from brain damage or
willful perversity.

bubble sort
(jargon) | bubble sort
n.
Techspeak for a particular sorting technique in which pairs of adjacent
values in the list to be sorted are compared and interchanged if they are
out of order; thus, list entries ‘bubble upward’ in the list until they
bump into one with a lower sort value. Because it is not very good relative
to other methods and is the one typically stumbled on by naive and
untutored programmers, hackers consider it the canonical example of a
naive algorithm. (However, it's been shown by repeated experiment that
below about 5000 records bubble-sort is OK anyway.) The canonical example
of a really bad algorithm is bogo-sort. A bubble sort might be used out
of ignorance, but any use of bogo-sort could issue only from brain damage
or willful perversity.
