Abashing
(gcide) | Abash \A*bash"\ ([.a]*b[a^]sh"), v. t. [imp. & p. p. Abashed
([.a]*b[a^]sht"); p. pr. & vb. n. Abashing.] [OE. abaissen,
abaisshen, abashen, OF. esbahir, F. ['e]bahir, to astonish,
fr. L. ex + the interjection bah, expressing astonishment. In
OE. somewhat confused with abase. Cf. Finish.]
To destroy the self-possession of; to confuse or confound, as
by exciting suddenly a consciousness of guilt, mistake, or
inferiority; to put to shame; to disconcert; to discomfit.
[1913 Webster]
Abashed, the devil stood,
And felt how awful goodness is. --Milton.
[1913 Webster]
He was a man whom no check could abash. --Macaulay.
[1913 Webster]
Syn: To confuse; confound; disconcert; shame.
Usage: To Abash, Confuse, Confound. Abash is a stronger
word than confuse, but not so strong as confound. We
are abashed when struck either with sudden shame or
with a humbling sense of inferiority; as, Peter was
abashed by the look of his Master. So a modest youth
is abashed in the presence of those who are greatly
his superiors. We are confused when, from some
unexpected or startling occurrence, we lose clearness
of thought and self-possession. Thus, a witness is
often confused by a severe cross-examination; a timid
person is apt to be confused in entering a room full
of strangers. We are confounded when our minds are
overwhelmed, as it were, by something wholly
unexpected, amazing, dreadful, etc., so that we have
nothing to say. Thus, a criminal is usually confounded
at the discovery of his guilt.
[1913 Webster]
Satan stood
Awhile as mute, confounded what to say.
--Milton.

bit diddling
(Also "bit diddling" or bit twiddling). Any of several
kinds of low-level programming characterised by manipulation
of bit, flag, nibble, and other
smaller-than-character-sized pieces of data. These include
low-level device control, encryption algorithms, checksum and
error-correcting codes, hash functions, some flavours of
graphics programming (see bitblt), and assembler/compiler
code generation. May connote either tedium or a real
technical challenge (more usually the former). "The command
decoding for the new tape driver looks pretty solid but the
bit-bashing for the control registers still has bugs." See
also bit bang, mode bit.
