- Computing jargon: A block of data of an arbitrary size. For example, a file may be split up into gigabyte-sized chunks to be sent over an ansible connection. Usually, chunks are only used when some data cannot be broken up into syntactic pieces such as pages or sections.
- Computing slang: To send files over a shadownet, or to send a large amount of data over any kind of network.
- Shadowtalk: Also seen as blow chunks. To send large quantities of data without first checking whether they are useful or processable by the recipient. Compare to Space Moss
