brain dump /n./ The act of telling someone everything one
knows about a particular topic or project. Typically used when
someone is going to let a new party maintain a piece of code.
Conceptually analogous to an operating system core dump in
that it saves a lot of useful state before an exit. "You'll
have to give me a brain dump on FOOBAR before you start your new
job at HackerCorp." See core dump (sense 4). At Sun, this
is also known as `TOI' (transfer of information).
