database, such as a picture or sound file. The essential point about a
BLOB is that it's an object that cannot be interpreted within the
database itself. 2. v. To {mailbomb} someone by sending a BLOB to
him/her; esp. used as a mild threat. "If that program crashes again, I'm
going to BLOB the core dump to you."
