Wikipedia
chawmp
In computing and telecommunications, a unit of information is the capacity of some standard data storage system or communication channel, used to measure the capacities of other systems and channels. In information theory, units of information are also used to measure information contained in messages and the entropy of random variables. The most commonly used units of data storage capacity are the bit, the capacity of a system that has only two states, and the byte (or octet), which is equivalent to eight bits. Multiples of these units can be formed from these with the SI prefixes (power-of-ten prefixes) or the newer IEC binary prefixes (power-of-two prefixes).
The New Hacker's Dictionary
chawmp
[University of Florida] 16 or 18 bits (half of a machine word). This term was used by FORTH hackers during the late 1970s/early 1980s; it is said to have been archaic then, and may now be obsolete. It was coined in revolt against the promiscuous use of ‘word’ for anything between 16 and 32 bits; ‘word’ has an additional special meaning for FORTH hacks that made the overloading intolerable. For similar reasons, /gaw´bl/ (spelled ‘gawble’ or possibly ‘gawbul’) was in use as a term for 32 or 48 bits (presumably a full machine word, but our sources are unclear on this). These terms are more easily understood if one thinks of them as faithful phonetic spellings of ‘chomp’ and ‘gobble’ pronounced in a Florida or other Southern U.S. dialect. For general discussion of similar terms, see nybble.
