Definition of 'slurp'🥤: a key word or phrase that incorporates a formula or teaching detailed elsewhere in EBT
The technical sense of the word slurp I'm going to adopt, is derived from this concept.
In some programming languages, when you 'slurp' a large portion of data into a single word, it's like the 'slurp' sounds one makes, is signalling that one is about to finish consuming the entirety of a glass of fluid, due to the last few drops of fluid mixed with air making a sloshing sound against the straw.
Similarly, in the EBT (early buddhist text) and oral traditions, often a keyword is meant to 'slurp' in a large formula or portion of text/teaching.
(in case people from the distant future look at that picture and have no idea what it means, it's a person consuming a fluid beverage through the pink straw, by using suction to extract the fluid from the glass and pull it up into the mouth to swallow). onomatopoeia:
1. the naming of a thing or action by a vocal imitation of the sound associated with it (as buzz, hiss)2. the use of words whose sound suggests the sense

To read in a large file of data into a single word (named variable).'Slurp' in EBT (Early Buddhist Texts) oral tradition teaching transmission
Maybe there is a technical term for this concept that already exists. Does anyone know what that is, or can confirm there is not?
In an oral tradition, where all the teachings are memorized, it's important to have a scheme to memorize, organize, and navigate and access the teachings from one's mental mind map. 'Slurp'ing is one such technique.
