Nope you have it all WRONG, it is the Bit Bucket option
for all the loose 0's and 1's found when a program crashes.
They can be rather hard on the carpet, generate static electricty
and slow programs down to a crawl.
Note you also get:
BBW Branch Both Ways
BEW Branch Either Way
BBBF Branch on Bit Bucket Full
BH Branch and Hang
BMR Branch Multiple Registers
BOB Branch On Bug
BPO Branch on Power Off
BST Backspace and Stretch Tape
CDS Condense and Destroy System
CLBR Clobber Register
CLBRI Clobber Register Immediately
CM Circulate Memory
