[from the techspeak] (var.: hash clash) When used of people,
signifies a confusion in associative memory or imagination,
especially a persistent one (see {thinko}). True story: One of us
[ESR] was once on the phone with a friend about to move out to
Berkeley. When asked what he expected Berkeley to be like, the friend
replied: "Well, I have this mental picture of naked women throwing
Molotov cocktails, but I think that's just a collision in my hash
tables." Compare {hash bucket}.
