/eks'ch*/ or /eksch/ To exchange two things, each forthe other; to swap places. If you point to two people sittingdown and say "Exch!", you are asking them to trade places.EXCH, meaning EXCHange, was originally the name of a PDP-10instruction that exchanged the contents of a register and amemory location.Many newer hackers are probably thinking instead of thePostScript exchange operator (which is usually written inlowercase).
