S A statistical analysis language from AT&T. ["S: An Interactive Environment for Data Analysis and Graphics", Richard A. Becker, Wadsworth 1984]. (1997-01-21) s/// s/foo/bar/ is an idiom which means "I didn't mean to type 'foo', I meant to type 'bar'". Its use in talk systems, especially irc, comes from the use of s/// as a substitution operator in Perl, sed and ed. In these languages and tools, s/foo/bar/ would replace any substring matching the regular expression "foo" with the string "bar". (1997-03-16). Source: The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing.
