Cool Jargon of the Day
Serving Hacker Jargon to the Internet since Jan 1995.

macro /mak'roh/ [techspeak] /n./ A name (possibly followed by a formal arg list) that is equated to a text or symbolic expression to which it is to be expanded (possibly with the substitution of actual arguments) by a macro expander. This definition can be found in any technical dictionary; what those won't tell you is how the hackish connotations of the term have changed over time.
