[a play on 'Coke Classic']
n. The
C programming language as defined in the first edition of K&R,
with some small additions. It is also known as 'K&R C'. The name
came into use while C was being standardized by the ANSI X3J11
committee. Also 'C Classic'. This is sometimes applied
elsewhere: thus, 'X Classic', where X = Star Trek (referring to the
original TV series) or X = PC (referring to IBM's ISA-bus machines
as opposed to the PS/2 series). This construction is especially
used of product series in which the newer versions are considered
serious losers relative to the older ones.
