priority interrupt: n. [from the hardware term] Describes any stimulus compelling enough to
yank one right out of hack mode. Classically used
to describe being dragged away by an SO for
immediate sex, but may also refer to more mundane interruptions such as a
fire alarm going off in the near vicinity. Also called an
NMI (non-maskable interrupt), especially in
PC-land.
