FIFO ("First In First Out": Description of a data structure usually
implemented as a specialization of a queue: in contrast to LIFO ("Last In
First Out") or a priority queue or a random access data structure.
RTFM ("Read The F'ing Manual": Useful advise)
jar (A [usually compressed] collection of Java classes probably in byte code
format. A distributable bunch of Java classes)
