BLOB


   1. n. [acronym: Binary Large OBject] Used by database people to refer
   to any random large block of bits that needs to be stored in a
   database, such as a picture or sound file. The essential point about a
   BLOB is that it's an object that cannot be interpreted within the
   database itself.

   2. v. To {mailbomb} someone by sending a BLOB to him/her; esp. used as
   a mild threat. "If that program crashes again, I'm going to BLOB the
   core dump to you."

from The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (8 July 2008)

BLOB

   1. {binary large object}.

   2. <architecture> {blitter object}.
