(foldoc) | cascade
1. A huge volume of spurious error-messages output
by a compiler with poor error recovery. Too frequently,
one trivial syntax error (such as a missing ")" or "}")
throws the parser out of synch so that much of the remaining
program text, whether correct or not, is interpreted as
garbaged or ill-formed.
2. A chain of Usenet followups, each adding some
trivial variation or riposte to the text of the previous one,
all of which is reproduced in the new message; an {include
war} in which the object is to create a sort of communal
graffito.
3. A collection of interconneced networking
devices, typically hubs, that allows those devices to act
together as a logical repeater.

cascade connection
(gcide) | Cascade system \Cascade system\ (Elec.)
A system or method of connecting and operating two induction
motors so that the primary circuit of one is connected to the
secondary circuit of the other, the primary circuit of the
latter being connected to the source of supply; also, a
system of electric traction in which motors so connected are
employed. The cascade system is also called
tandem system, or concatenated system; the connection a
cascade connection, tandem connection, or {concatenated
connection}, or
a concatenation; and the control of the motors so obtained
a
tandem control, or concatenation control.
Note: In the cascade system of traction the cascade
connection is used for starting and for low speeds up
to half speed. For full speed the short-circuited motor
is cut loose from the other motor and is either left
idle or (commonly) connected direct to the line.
