blit /blit/ vt. 1. common to copy a large array of bits from one part
   of a computer's memory to another part, particularly when the memory is
   being used to determine what is shown on a display screen. "the storage
   allocator picks through the table and copies the good parts up into high
   memory, and then blits it all back down again." see bitblt, blt,
   dd, cat, blast, snarf. more generally, to perform some operation
   such as toggling on a large array of bits while moving them. 2.
   historical, rare sometimes all-capitalized as `blit': an early
   experimental bit-mapped terminal designed by rob pike at bell labs,
   later commercialized as the att 5620. the folk etymology from `bell
   labs intelligent terminal' is incorrect. its creators liked to claim
   that "blit" stood for the bacon, lettuce, and interactive tomato.
