dentro /den'troh/
[demoscene] Combination of
demo (sense 4) and intro. Other name mixings include intmo, dentmo
etc. and are used usually when the authors are not quite sure
whether the program is a demo or an
intro. Special-purpose coinages like
wedtro (some member of a group got married), invtro (invitation
intro) etc. have also been sighted.

D =
depeditate /dee-ped'*-tayt/ n.
[by (faulty) analogy with `decapitate'] Humorously, to cut off
the feet of. When one is using some computer-aided typesetting
tools, careless placement of text blocks within a page or above a
rule can result in chopped-off letter descenders. Such letters
are said to have been depeditated.
