Line 21:
* [[Astroturf]]: Source of one of the [http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/A/astroturfing.html earliest definitions] of the sense in which we present it.
* [[Black Box]]: The File is rife with terms describing programming Black Boxes, most notably [http://catb.org/esr/jargon/html/magic-story.html Black Magic].
* [[Blinkenlights]]: Of ''course'' the file has [http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/B/blinkenlights.html an entry], tracing the trope farther back than we do, to a WWII-vintage machine shop notice (of which they have a photo).
* [[CamelCase]]: The Jargon File definition varies from modern usage -- what ATT and many others recognize as "CamelCase", the File calls [http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/B/BiCapitalization.html BiCapitalization]. According to the File, "true" [http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/C/camelCase.html camelCase] requires the first letter be lowercase, so as to provide a "hump" in the middle of the word.
* [[Canon]]: Source of the [http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/C/canonical.html canonical definition] of "canonical", as used in most non-religious contexts today.
