Iain M Banks used this word for the act of loading a stored personality into a new, mindless body that had been purpose grown as a replacement for the original, presumably lost, body.
A chugger is a combination of the words "charity" and "mugger". Chuggers are the people who stand on the street in a tabard from a charity and try to get passers-by to donate cash or sign-up for a monthly donation.
In Internet routing, aggregation is used to mean the summarization of a number of more specific routes into a single external route announcement. In other words, aggregation involve distributing IP addresses in an hierarchy so that networks on different branches of the tree do not overwhelm each other with a surfeit of unnecessary information. In an internet context, aggregation is implemented using CIDR (Classless Inter Domain Routing) in BGP4+.
