tombstone (plural tombstones)

  1. A grave marker, a stone slab or similar object marking a person's grave.
    Synonyms: headstone, gravestone, grave marker
    • 1922, Virginia Woolf, chapter 2, in Jacob's Room:
      True, there's no harm in crying for one's husband, and the tombstone, though plain, was a solid piece of work, and on summer's days when the widow brought her boys to stand there one felt kindly towards her.
  2. (mathematics) The symbol "∎" marking the end of a proof.
    Synonym: halmos
  3. (computing, Microsoft Windows) A marker that takes the place of deleted data, allowing for replication of the deletion across servers etc.

      If you attempt to restore a backup that is older than the tombstone lifetime, it may introduce objects that were deleted […]
  4. (computing) A crashdump.
    • 2014, Joshua J. Drake, Zach Lanier, Collin Mulliner, Android Hacker's Handbook, page 186:
      This actually results in a crash dump, which is written to the log and to a tombstone file.
  5. (cardiology) An unusual morphological feature on an electrocardiogram indicative of acute myocardial infarction, characterized by a massive ST elevation.
  6. (journalism) A printed advertisement in a newspaper or magazine, typically having unadorned centered text in black and white, enclosed in a simple box.

  8. (slang, archaic) A pawnbroker's ticket.
    • 1862, W. H. Watts, My Private Note-Book; or, Recollections of an old reporter, page 123:

tombstone (third-person singular simple present tombstones, present participle tombstoning, simple past and past participle tombstoned)

  2. (surfing) For a surfboard to stand upright half-submerged in the water (like a tombstone, above) because the surfer is underwater with his or her legrope pulled tight. Often this indicates a surfer in difficulty, either held down by the power of a wave or unconscious and unable to get to the surface.
    • 2005, Bruce Jenkins, Surfer magazine, (referring to Kelly Slater) [1]:
