nadger
/nad'jr/ [Great Britain] Of software or hardware (not people),
to twiddle some object in a hidden manner, generally so that
it conforms better to some format. For instance, string
printing routines on 8-bit processors often take the string
text from the instruction stream, thus a print call looks like
jsr print:"Hello world"
The print routine has to "nadger" the saved {instruction
pointer} so that the processor doesn't try to execute the text
as instructions when the subroutine returns.
