cooky

   1. <World-Wide Web> {HTTP cookie}.

   2. <protocol> A handle, transaction ID, or other token of
   agreement between cooperating programs.  "I give him a packet,
   he gives me back a cookie".

   The ticket you get from a dry-cleaning shop is a perfect
   mundane example of a cookie; the only thing it's useful for is
   to relate a later transaction to this one (so you get the same
   clothes back).

   Compare {magic cookie}; see also {fortune cookie}.

   3. <security, jargon> A {cracker} term for the {password} list
   on a {multi-user} computer.

   4. <jargon> An adjective describing a computer that just
   became {toast}.
