| Apr 18, 2012 at 22:39 | comment | added | aglearner | Allen, thanks for this answer, I also heard some people using this expression. It sounds quite nice. But I guess I will never use it, at least in this life. Anyway, I would feel bad about using this expression before I learn what is a stack... Is there some place where this notion is explained for dummies (like me)? | |
