They are often used during "top down" software development - they are 
subroutines that haven't been written and simply have a label and a return 
instruction. The higher-level routines can then be tested and debugged 
without getting bogged down in the low-level stuff.

It can also refer to short assembly routines used to translate from one 
calling
convention to another.  In particular from interrupt to standard C or vice
versa.
