P.O.D.
 /P?O?D/

    [rare; sometimes ?POD? without the periods] Acronym for ?Piece Of Data? or
    ?Plain Old Data? (as opposed to a code section, or a section containing
    mixed code and data). The latter expansion was in use by the C++ standards
    committee, for which it indicated a struct or class which only contains
    data (as in C), distinguished from one which has a constructor and member
    functions. There are things which you can do with a P.O.D. which you can't
    with a more general class.
