Loop Through
  • vt. To process each element of a list of things. "Hold on, I've got to loop through my paper mail. " Derives from the computer-language notion of an iterative loop; compare `cdr down' (under cdr), which is less common among C and UNIX programmers. ITS hackers used to say `IRP over' after an obscure pseudo-op in the MIDAS PDP-10 assembler (the same IRP op can nowadays be found in Microsoft's assembler).
