(Or tayste /tayst/) Silly suggested term for two {binary digits}. The term "quarter" has also been suggested, referring to the US 25-cent coin. This was once equal in value to two of the eight "bits" - pie-slice-shaped "pieces of eight" - into which Spanish silver crowns were cut to make change. [Jargon File] (2007-05-31) スポンサード リンク
