(gcide) | Shad \Shad\ (sh[a^]d), n. sing. & pl. [AS. sceadda a kind of
fish, akin to Prov. G. schade; cf. Ir. & Gael. sgadan a
herring, W. ysgadan herrings; all perhaps akin to E. skate a
fish.] (Zool.)
Any one of several species of food fishes of the Herring
family. The American species (Alosa sapidissima formerly
Clupea sapidissima), which is abundant on the Atlantic
coast and ascends the larger rivers in spring to spawn, is an
important market fish. The European allice shad, or alose
(Alosa alosa formerly Clupea alosa), and the twaite shad
(Alosa finta formerly Clupea finta), are less important
species. [Written also chad.]
[1913 Webster]
Note: The name is loosely applied, also, to several other
fishes, as the gizzard shad (see under Gizzard),
called also mud shad, white-eyed shad, and {winter
shad}.
[1913 Webster]
Hardboaded shad, or Yellow-tailed shad, the menhaden.
Hickory shad, or Tailor shad, the mattowacca.

or small trees of the rosaceous genus Amelanchier
(Amelanchier Canadensis, and Amelanchier alnifolia).
Their white racemose blossoms open in April or May, when
the shad appear, and the edible berries (pomes) ripen in
June or July, whence they are called Juneberries. The
plant is also called service tree, and Juneberry.
Shad frog, an American spotted frog (Rana halecina); --
so called because it usually appears at the time when the
shad begin to run in the rivers.
Trout shad, the squeteague.
White shad, the common shad.

perf
selvage
snaf
/chad/ (Or "selvage" /sel'v*j/ (sewing and
weaving), "perf", "perfory", "snaf"). 1. The perforated
edge strips on paper for sprocket feed printers, after they
have been separated from the printed portion.
The term perf may also refer to the perforations themselves,
rather than the chad they produce when torn.
[Why "snaf"?]
2. (Or "chaff", "computer confetti", "keypunch droppings") The
confetti-like bits punched out of punched cards or {paper
tape} which collected in the chad box.
One of the Jargon File's correspondents believed that "chad"
derived from the chadless keypunch.

chad
(jargon) | chad
/chad/, n.
1. [common] The perforated edge strips on printer paper, after they have
been separated from the printed portion. Also called selvage, perf, and
ripoff.
2. The confetti-like paper bits punched out of cards or paper tape; this
has also been called chaff, computer confetti, and keypunch droppings. It's
reported that this was very old Army slang (associated with teletypewriters
before the computer era), and has been occasionally sighted in directions
for punched-card vote tabulators long after it passed out of live use among
computer programmers in the late 1970s. This sense of ‘chad’ returned to
the mainstream during the finale of the hotly disputed U.S. presidential
election in 2000 via stories about the Florida vote recounts. Note however
that in the revived mainstream usage chad is not a mass noun and ‘a chad’
is a single piece of the stuff.
There is an urban legend that chad (sense 2) derives from the Chadless
keypunch (named for its inventor), which cut little u-shaped tabs in the
card to make a hole when the tab folded back, rather than punching out a
circle/rectangle; it was clear that if the Chadless keypunch didn't make
them, then the stuff that other keypunches made had to be ‘chad’. However,
serious attempts to track down “Chadless” as a personal name or U.S.
trademark have failed, casting doubt on this etymology — and the U.S.
Patent Classification System uses “chadless” (small c) as an adjective,
suggesting that “chadless” derives from “chad” and not the other way
around. There is another legend that the word was originally acronymic,
standing for “Card Hole Aggregate Debris”, but this has all the earmarks of
a backronym. It has also been noted that the word “chad” is Scots dialect
for gravel, but nobody has proposed any plausible reason that card chaff
should be thought of as gravel. None of these etymologies is really
plausible.
[74-12-31]
This is one way to be chadless.
