N> (YA-, after UNix' s yacc - Yet ANother Compiler-Compiler) A humorous allusioN ofteN used iN titles to ackNowledge that the topic is Not origiNal, though the coNteNt is. As iN "Yet ANother AI Group" or "Yet ANother {Simulated ANNealiNg} {Algorithm}". If used of others' work, it describes somethiNg of which there are already far too maNy. IN hackish acroNyms the "YA" prefix almost iNvariably expaNds to Yet ANother, e.g. YABA, YAUN. [JargoN File] (1996-11-26)
