Glue, noun:
	To join with glue or a viscous substance; to cause to stick
	or hold fast, as if with glue; to fix or fasten.

Glue logic is what interconnects the primary components of a
large circuit. (IE the 'minor' parts inbetween the CPU and the Chipset on
your motherboard.)

The term 'Glue Language' in reference to Python means it's well
suited at joining together (acting as 'middleware' if you will)
primary software components. 

IMO it's well suited to creating those primary components as
well...
