  BLT
       
          1. /B-L-T/, /bl*t/ or (rarely) /belt/ Synonym for blit.
          This is the original form of blit and the ancestor of
          bitblt.  It refers to any large bit-field copy or move
          operation (one resource-intensive memory-shuffling operation
          done on pre-paged versions of ITS, WAITS and TOPS-10 was
          sardonically referred to as "The Big BLT").  The jargon usage
          has outlasted the PDP-10 BLock Transfer instruction from
          which BLT derives; nowadays, the assembly language
          mnemonic BLT almost always means "Branch if Less Than
          zero".
       
          2. bacon, lettuce and tomato (sandwich).
