push [from the operation that puts the current information on a stack,
and the fact that procedure return addresses are saved on a stack] (Also
PUSH /push/ or PUSHJ /push´J/, the latter based on the
PDP-10 procedure call instruction.) 1. To put something onto a stack. If one
says that something has been pushed onto one's stack, it means that the
Damoclean list of things hanging over ones's head has grown longer and
heavier yet. This may also imply that one will deal with it
before other pending items; otherwise one might say
that the thing was ‘added to my queue’. 2. vi. To enter upon a
digression, to save the current discussion for later. Antonym of
pop; see also stack.
