Shmooing is a term used in computer science to describe the process of optimizing and adjusting software to improve its performance, typically by reducing unnecessary work or resource usage. It involves fine-tuning algorithms and code to make them more efficient and streamlined.

Yeast can reproduce sexually by undergoing a process called mating, where two yeast cells of opposite mating types (usually referred to as a and α) come together, fuse, and exchange genetic material to form new combinations of genes. This process results in the formation of spores, which can germinate into new yeast cells with genetic diversity.

The asexual form of reproduction in yeast is called fission, or sometimes "budding." Budding is exactly what it sounds like. The parent cell begins to divide to form a new cell, which is the "daughter" cell, by splitting its nucleus and copying the contents, thus migrating the new nucleus into the daughter cell. The process is basically standard mitosis (cell division). The newly created cell is an exact copy of the parent cell; it can be either diploid or haploid.
Only haploid yeast cells are able to conduct sexual reproduction. When they do, the haploid cells are usually not the same gender. Before joining with the opposite type of haploid yeast cell, each cell undergoes a process called shmooing in which it becomes longer and thinner in preparation for the joining. The shmooing cells then fuse and join their nuclei together to create a diploid. The new diploid then begins to bud and form a colony of diploid yeast cells.
