flush v. 1. common to delete something, usually superfluous, or to
   abort an operation. "all that nonsense has been flushed." 2. unix/c to
   force buffered i/o to disk, as with an `fflush3' call. this is _not_
   an abort or deletion as in sense 1, but a demand for early completion
   3. to leave at the end of a day's work as opposed to leaving for a
   meal. "i'm going to flush now." "time to flush." 4. to exclude someone
   from an activity, or to ignore a person.

   `flush' was standard its terminology for aborting an output operation;
   one spoke of the text that would have been printed, but was not, as
   having been flushed. it is speculated that this term arose from a vivid
   image of flushing unwanted characters by hosing down the internal output
   buffer, washing the characters away before they could be printed. the
   unix/c usage, on the other hand, was propagated by the `fflush3' call
   in c's standard i/o library though it is reported to have been in use
   among bliss programmers at dec and on honeywell and ibm machines as
   far back as 1965. unix/c hackers found the its usage confusing, and
   vice versa.

        example of this usage is flushing a cache on a context
        switch where modified data stored in the cace which belongs
        to one processes must be written out to main memory so that
        the cache can be used by another process.
