  BLOB 1. n. [acronym: Binary Large OBject] Used by database people to
     refer to any random large block of bits that needs to be stored in a
     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."
