1. A variety of "power glitch" (see glitch) momentary 0 voltage on the electrical mains. 2. Missing characters in typed input due to software malfunction or system saturation (one cause of such behaviour under Unix when a bad connection to a modem swamps the processor with spurious character interrupts see {screaming tty}). 3. Mental glitches used as a way of describing those occasions when the mind just seems to shut down for a couple of beats. See glitch, fried. [Jargon File] (2001-02-22)
