frogging
     
        ({University of Waterloo}) 1. Partial corruption of a text
        file or input stream by some bug or consistent glitch, as
        opposed to random events like line noise or media failures.
        Might occur, for example, if one bit of each incoming
        character on a tty were stuck, so that some characters were
        correct and others were not.
     
        See {terminak} for a historical example.
     
        2. By extension, accidental display of text in a mode where
        the output device emits special symbols or {mnemonic}s rather
        than conventional ASCII.  This often happens, for example,
        when using a terminal or comm program on a device like an {IBM
        PC} with a special "high-half" character set and with the
        bit-parity assumption wrong.  A hacker sufficiently familiar
        with ASCII bit patterns might be able to read the display
        anyway.
