nadger
(foldoc) | nadger
/nad'jr/ [Great Britain] To modify software or hardware
in a hidden manner, generally so that it conforms better to some
format.
For instance, an assembly code string printing subroutine
that takes its string argument from the instruction stream would
be called like this:
jsr print:"Hello world"
The print routine would use the saved instruction pointer (its
return address) to find its argument and would have to "nadger" it
so that the processor returns to the instruction after the string.

nadger
(jargon) | nadger
/nad'jr/, v.
[UK, from rude slang noun nadgers for testicles; compare American & British
bollixed] Of software or hardware (not people), to twiddle some object in a
hidden manner, generally so that it conforms better to some format. For
instance, string printing routines on 8-bit processors often take the
string text from the instruction stream, thus a print call looks like jsr
print:"Hello world". The print routine has to nadger the saved instruction

instructions when the subroutine returns. See adger.
