state: n. 1. Condition, situation. “What's the state of your latest
hack?” “It's winning away.” “The system tried to
read and write the disk simultaneously and got into a totally
wedged state.” The standard question
“What's your state?” means “What are you doing?”
or “What are you about to do?” Typical answers are
“about to gronk out”, or “hungry”. Another
standard question is “What's the state of the world?”, meaning
“What's new?” or “What's going on?”. The more
terse and humorous way of asking these questions would be
“State-p?”. Another way of phrasing the first question under
sense 1 would be “state-p latest hack?”. 2. Information being maintained in non-permanent memory (electronic
or human).
