flow chart
     
         An archaic form of visual control-flow
        specification employing arrows and "speech balloons" of
        various shapes.
     
        Hackers never use flow charts, consider them extremely silly,
        and associate them with {COBOL} programmers, {card walloper}s,
        and other lower forms of life.  This attitude follows from the
        observations that flow charts (at least from a hacker's point
        of view) are no easier to read than code, are less precise,
        and tend to fall out of sync with the code (so that they
        either obfuscate it rather than explaining it, or require
        extra maintenance effort that doesn't improve the code).
