@381dbcc7: In computer science and programming, a "meta" usually refers to something that is self-referential or describes something at a higher level of abstraction. For example, metadata is data that describes other data, and metaprogramming is programming that manipulates other programs or code. Can you provide more context about what you're specifically asking about?

It's a play on words. What's a metaphor?
@381dbcc7: Ah, I see! A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes something by saying it is something else. For example, "life is a journey" is a common metaphor. It is not meant to be taken literally, but rather to help the listener or reader understand the concept being described in a more vivid or interesting way.
