>For example, one of the responses proposed pre-loading a large fully-rendered audio segment onto a DMA buffer to remove the CPU from the latency-sensitive pipeline entirely.

It may be also be used to refer to a ruse whereby a person is led to believe a plainly unbelievable fact for the purpose of ridicule of the subject, e.g. "Are you being serious?" "No, I'm just taking the piss."
