/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.
