proglet
:proglet: /prog'let/ n. [UK] A short extempore program written to meet an
immediate, transient need. Often written in BASIC, rarely more than a
dozen lines long, and containing no subroutines. The largest amount of
code that can be written off the top of one's head, that does not need
any editing, and that runs correctly the first time (this amount varies
significantly according to one's skill and the language one is using).
