bondage-and-discipline language n. a language such as pascal,
   ada, apl, or prolog that, though ostensibly general-purpose, is
   designed so as to enforce an author's theory of `right programming' even
   though said theory is demonstrably inadequate for systems hacking or
   even vanilla general-purpose programming. often abbreviated `bd'; thus,
   one may speak of things "having the bd nature". see pascal; oppose
   languages of choice.
