cdr /ku'dr/ or /kuh'dr/ vt. from lisp to skip past the first item
from a list of things generalized from the lisp operation on binary
tree structures, which returns a list consisting of all but the first
element of its argument. in the form `cdr down', to trace down a list
of elements: "shall we cdr down the agenda?" usage: silly. see also
loop through.
historical note: the instruction format of the ibm 704 that hosted the
original lisp implementation featured two 15-bit fields called the
`address' and `decrement' parts. the term `cdr' was originally `contents
of decrement part of register'. similarly, `car' stood for `contents of
address part of register'.
the cdr and car operations have since become bases for formation of
compound metaphors in non-lisp contexts. gls recalls, for example, a
programming project in which strings were represented as linked lists;
the get-character and skip-character operations were of course called
char and chdr.
