I wonder is it a regional or dialect or cultural thing? The ones listed in the compiler paper and on the AMD driver had names that were not anglo american names. I'm not saying it's bad I'm just wondering maybe it's why I didn't hear 'dead loop' before, because I'm too blinkered not cosmopolitan enough in my understanding of tech jargon.
