PDL
PDL /P-D-L/, /pid'l/, /p*d'l/ or /puhd'l/
1. n. `Program Design Language'. Any of a large class of formal
and profoundly useless pseudo-languages in which {management}
forces one to design programs. Too often, management expects PDL
descriptions to be maintained in parallel with the code, imposing
massive overhead to little or no benefit. See also {{flowchart}}.
2. v. To design using a program design language. "I've been
pdling so long my eyes won't focus beyond 2 feet." 3. n. `Page
Description Language'. Refers to any language which is used to
control a graphics device, usually a laserprinter. The most common
example is, of course, Adobe's {{PostScript}} language, but there
are many others, such as Xerox InterPress, etc.
