LIFO last in first out

LIFO

Another term for FILO (first in, last out), LIFO (Last In First Out) refers list processing and data storage. LIFO describes a stack of paper whereby the last thing placed on the pile is on top and hence the first thing taken off.

Examples of a LIFO stack in real life include:
  plates stacked on a shelf
  craigslist postings
  blog entries
  those crumpled up sweaty bills in the cash register drawer. Yucko!
  alimentary canal (proof: vomitting)
