Cookie :
1. A handle, transaction ID, or other token of
agreement between cooperating programs. "I give him a packet,
he gives me back a cookie".
The claim check you get from a dry-cleaning shop is a perfect
mundane example of a cookie; the only thing it's useful for is
to relate a later transaction to this one (so you get the same
clothes back).
Another example is an HTTP cookie.
Compare magic cookie; see also fortune cookie.
2. A cracker term for the password list
on a multi-user computer.
3. An adjective describing a computer that just
became toast.
