noddy

noddy,

tropical tern including five species in the genus Anous. The name noddy is said to derive from their easy familiarity with man. Noddies are web-footed seabirds with long wings (though shorter than those of most terns) and pointed, tapering bills. They are highly gregarious, especially during the breeding season. Of the five species, two are nearly all black in plumage (A. stolidus and A. galapagoensis) and one is white. The dark-plumaged noddy tern (A. stolidus) is the most common of all noddies. It is found throughout the S Atlantic. It does not dive for food as do most terns but rather feeds on surface-dwelling animals. It typically nests on bushes or low trees but will also build its twig nest on seaweed or even bare ground. It lays a single egg per clutch. The white fairy tern (A. albus) is distributed more widely throughout tropical seas. It lays its single egg on a tree branch or rock ledge, to which the newly hatched young clings by its remarkably powerful claws. A. albivittus and A. leucocapillus are the two intermediately colored species. Noddies are classified in the phylum ChordataChordata
, phylum of animals having a notochord, or dorsal stiffening rod, as the chief internal skeletal support at some stage of their development. Most chordates are vertebrates (animals with backbones), but the phylum also includes some small marine invertebrate animals.

noddy

/nod'ee/ [UK: from the children's books] 1. Small andun-useful, but demonstrating a point. Noddy programs areoften written by people learning a new language or system.The archetypal noddy program is hello, world. Noddy codemay be used to demonstrate a feature or bug of a compiler.May be used of real hardware or software to imply that itisn't worth using. "This editor's a bit noddy."

2. A program that is more or less instant to produce. In thisuse, the term does not necessarily connote uselessness, butdescribes a hack sufficiently trivial that it can be writtenand debugged while carrying on (and during the space of) anormal conversation. "I'll just throw together a noddy awkscript to dump all the first fields." In North America thismight be called a mickey mouse program. See toy program.

3. A simple (hence the name) language to handle text andinteraction on the Memotech home computer. Has died withthe machine.
