Vitanuova for 2006 February 9 (entry 1)

< In the Superior Court of California, County of Contra Costa
Prison experiments >

I was amused to learn that German and Dutch-speaking programmers are using the word "geXORt" where we would use "XORed" in English -- as a past participle to show that an exclusive OR operation has been performed.

I don't know what the Portuguese equivalent is; I did find a tiny number of Google references to the plural "XORados" (and one reference to that form in Spanish), but none at all to the singular "XORado".
