terpri /ter'pree/ vi.
[from LISP 1.5 (and later, MacLISP)] To output a newline. Now rare as jargon, though still used
as techspeak in Common LISP. It is a contraction of `TERminate
PRInt line', named for the fact that, on some early OSes and
hardware, no characters would be printed until a complete line
was formed, so this operation terminated the line and emitted the
output.

1. Real users bashing on a prototype long enough to get
thoroughly acquainted with it, with careful monitoring and
followup of the results. 2. Some bored random user trying a
couple of the simpler features with a developer looking over his
or her shoulder, ready to pounce on mistakes. Judging by the
quality of most software, the second definition is far more
prevalent. See also demo.
