[1913 Webster]Bluestocking \Blue"stock`ing\, n.
1. A literary lady; a female pedant. [Colloq.]
[1913 Webster]
Note: As explained in Boswell's "Life of Dr. Johnson", this
term is derived from the name given to certain meetings
held by ladies, in Johnson's time, for conversation
with distinguished literary men. An eminent attendant
of these assemblies was a Mr. Stillingfleet, who always
wore blue stockings. He was so much distinguished for
his conversational powers that his absence at any time
was felt to be a great loss, so that the remark became
common, "We can do nothing without the blue stockings."
Hence these meetings were sportively called
bluestocking clubs, and the ladies who attended them,
bluestockings.

A common rhetorical maneuver at MIT is to use any
of the canonical random numbers as placeholders for
variables. "The max function takes 42 arguments, for
arbitrary values of 42". "There are 69 ways to leave your
lover, for 69 = 50". This is especially likely when the
speaker has uttered a random number and realises that it was
not recognised as such, but even "non-random" numbers are
occasionally used in this fashion. A related joke is that pi
equals 3 - for small values of pi and large values of 3.
This usage probably derives from the programming language MAD
(Michigan Algorithm Decoder), an ALGOL-like language that
was the most common choice among mainstream (non-hacker) users
at MIT in the mid-1960s. It had a control structure FOR
VALUES OF X = 3, 7, 99 DO ... that would repeat the indicated
instructions for each value in the list (unlike the usual FOR
that generates an arithmetic sequence of values). MAD is
long extinct, but similar for-constructs still flourish
(e.g. in Unix's shell languages).

ESTIMATION OF VALUES
(bouvier) | ESTIMATION OF VALUES. As the value of most things is variable, according to
circumstances, the law in many cases determines the time at which the value
of a thing should be taken; thus, the value of an advancement, is to be
taken at the time of the gift. 1 Serg. & R. 425. Of a gift in frank-
marriage, at the time of partition between the parceners, and the bringing
of the gift in frank-marriage into hotchpot. But this is a case sui generis.
