Not all the allusions in these slangy terms are clear. Ball of wax may refer to a 17th-century English legal practice whereby land was divided among heirs by covering scraps of paper representing portions of land with wax, rolling each into a ball, and drawing the balls from a hat. An enchilada combines several foods inside a tortilla; a shooting match denotes a shooting competition; and a shebang is a rude hut or shelter. The first two of these slangy terms date from the second half of the 1900s, the last two from the late 1800s. For synonyms, see whole kit and caboodle; whole megillah. See also: ball, of, whole

whole shebang, the

The entire structure; the whole business and everything connected with it. The precise meaning of shebang in this phrase has been lost. It dates from mid-nineteenth century America, when it denoted a hut or shack, which makes no sense in the current cliché. Bret Harte used it: “That don’t fetch me even of [sic] he’d chartered the whole shebang” (“The Story of a Mine,” 1877). An alliterative synonym is the whole shooting match (also put as the whole shoot). Originally this meant a shooting competition, a usage dating from the mid-1700s. The addition of whole and the figurative meaning are much newer, dating from the 1900s. Also see kit and caboodle.See also: whole

shebang


shebang

(operating system)(Or "shebang line", "bang path")/sh*-bang'/ (From "sharp" and "bang") The magic cookie"#!" used in Unix to mark the start of a script, e.g. ashell script or Perl script.

Under Unix, if the first two bytes of an executable fileare "#!", the kernel treats the file as a script rather thana machine code program. The word following the "!" (i.e.,everything up to the first whitespace) is used as thepathname of the interpreter. For example, if the firstline of an executable is

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

the script will be treated as a Perl script and passed as anargument to /usr/local/bin/perl to be interpreted. Somevariants of Unix also allow one or more parameters to bepassed to the interpreter, for example, you can write

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

and the script will be started as if you typed

/usr/bin/perl -w

on the command line. Also, most modern kernels ignore anywhitespace between the "!" and the interpreter pathname. Evensome modern kernels have fairly small limits (e.g. 32) on thelength of line they will accept, making long pathnames andarguments somewhat unportable.
