ya-
(foldoc) | Yet Another
YA-
(YA-, after Unix's yacc - Yet Another
Compiler-Compiler) A humorous allusion often used in titles to
acknowledge that the topic is not original, though the content
is. As in "Yet Another AI Group" or "Yet Another {Simulated
Annealing} Algorithm". If used of others' work, it
describes something of which there are already far too many.
In hackish acronyms the "YA" prefix almost invariably expands
to Yet Another, e.g. YABA, YAUN.
[Jargon File]
(1996-11-26)
|
ya-
(jargon) | YA-
abbrev.
[Yet Another] In hackish acronyms this almost invariably expands to {Yet
Another}, following the precedent set by Unix yacc(1) (Yet Another
Compiler-Compiler). See YABA.
