Another name for anonymous functions - functions declared on the fly
without assigning them to some method or top-level variable.

JavaScript example:
// The argument to the 'each' method here is an anonymous function.
myArray.each( function(i){ alert(i) } );

Ruby example:
# I'm making a brand new proc on the right side here
dir_watcher.on_modified = lambda{ |x| puts x }
