deep space

( n.)

   1.  Describes the notional location of any program that has gone {off
   the  trolley}.  Esp.:  used  of programs that just sit there silently
   grinding  long  after  either failure or some output is expected. "Uh
   oh.  I  should have gotten a prompt ten seconds ago. The program's in
   deep space somewhere." Compare {buzz}, {catatonic}, {hyperspace}.

   2.  The  metaphorical location of a human so dazed and/or confused or
   caught  up  in  some  esoteric  form  of {bogosity} that he or she no
   longer  responds  coherently  to  normal communication. Compare {page
   out}.
