buffer overflow

A type of exploitation in programming in which a set buffer is created in a program and a user has the advantage of overflowing that buffers set limit to allow the user to execute arbitrary code by overwriting a memory block, held for the buffer.
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
buffer300; //set buffer to store 300 bytes
if(argc<=2) {
printf("usage: %s <data to put in buffer>", argv0);
}else{
memset(buffer, argv1); //add 2nd argument (the data) into the buffer
printf("%s",buffer); //print data that resides in the buffer
}

if more than 300 bytes are put into the buffer, it will cause a segmentation fault causing a buffer overflow.

buffer test

Any coming test, college, high school, or middle school, that you know you will do/have done well or exceptional on. This test is a safeguard for the other test/paper that you know you will to poorly on. For absorbing the shock of when you get a 73 on your term paper.
Dude, I think I'm set for the end of the year; I got a ninety on that history test, and I'm thinkin' that's my buffer test for that hugeass paper we have to write for Smith.

Buffer Song

A mediocre song used by an internet streaming service like Pandora to let you know they're about to play something really shitty. This gives you the opportunity to change the station before inadvertently hearing something distasteful. Coined by popular podcast host, Adam Carolla
Adam: I was listening to an Elvis Costello channel on Pandora earlier and John Cougar's opus "Hurts So Good" suddenly started playing.
Ray: Shit. At least they should've given you a Buffer Song.
Adam: Yes, anything by Gary Wright would've been sufficient
