meta: /me´t@/, /may´t@/, /mee´t@/, pref. [from analytic philosophy] One level of description up. A
metasyntactic variable is a variable in notation used to describe syntax,
and meta-language is language used to describe language. This is difficult
to explain briefly, but much hacker humor turns on deliberate confusion
between meta-levels. See hacker humor.
