crash of 1929.
[1913 Webster]
The last week of October 1929 remains forever
imprinted in the American memory. It was, of course,
the week of the Great Crash, the stock market
collapse that signaled the collapse of the world
economy and the Great Depression of the 1930s. From
an all-time high of 381 in early September 1929, the
Dow Jones Industrial Average drifted down to a level
of 326 on October 22, then, in a series of traumatic
selling waves, to 230 in the course of the following
six trading days.
The stock market's drop was far from over; it
continued its sickening slide for nearly three more
years, reaching an ultimate low of 41 in July 1932.
But it was that last week of October 1929 that
burned itself into the American consciousness. After
a decade of unprecedented boom and prosperity, there
suddenly was panic, fear, a yawning gap in the
American fabric. The party was over. --Wall street
Journal,
October 28,
1977.

6. The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) |
crash
1. n. A sudden, usually drastic failure. Most often said of the system
(q.v., sense 1), esp. of magnetic disk drives (the term originally
described what happens when the air gap of a hard disk collapses). ?Three
lusers lost their files in last night's disk crash.? A disk crash that
involves the read/write heads dropping onto the surface of the disks and
scraping off the oxide may also be referred to as a head crash, whereas the
term system crash usually, though not always, implies that the operating
system or other software was at fault.
2. v. To fail suddenly. ?Has the system just crashed?? ?Something crashed
the OS!? See down. Also used transitively to indicate the cause of the
crash (usually a person or a program, or both). ?Those idiots playing
SPACEWAR crashed the system.?
3. vi. Sometimes said of people hitting the sack after a long hacking run
; see gronk out.
