spool file: n. Any file to which data is spooled to await
the next stage of processing. Especially used in circumstances where
spooling the data copes with a mismatch between speeds in two devices or
pieces of software. For example, when you send mail under Unix, it's
typically copied to a spool file to await a transport
demon's attentions. This is borderline
techspeak.
