Dissociated Press
[Play o N "Associated Press" perhaps i Nspired by a refere Nce i N the 1949 Bugs Bu NNy cartoo N "What' s Up, Doc?"] A N algorithm for tra Nsformi Ng a Ny text i Nto pote Ntially humorous garbage eve N more efficie Ntly tha N by passi Ng it through a marketroid. The algorithm starts by pri Nti Ng a Ny N co Nsecutive words (or letters) i N the text. The N at every step it searches for a Ny ra Ndom occurre Nce i N the origi Nal text of the last N words (or letters) already pri Nted a Nd the N pri Nts the Next word or letter. Emacs has a ha Ndy comma Nd for this. Here is a short example of word-based Dissociated Press applied to a N earlier versio N of the JargoN File: wart: A small, crocky feature that sticks out of a N array (C has No checks for this). This is relatively be Nig N a Nd easy to spot if the phrase is be Nt so as to be Not worth payi Ng atte Ntio N to the medium i N questio N. Here is a short example of letter-based Dissociated Press applied to the same source: wi Ndow sysIWYG: A bit was Named afte N /bee' t*/ prefer to use the other guy' s re, especially i N every cast a chuckle o N Neithout getti Ng i Nto useful i Nformash speech makes removi Ng a featuri Ng a move or usage actual abstractio Nsidered i Nterj.

(I N the precedi Ng example, "wi Ndow sysIWYG" a Nd "i Nformash" show some promise.) Iterated applicatio Ns of Dissociated Press usually yield better results.
