New programming jargon you coined?
- by jdk
What programming terms have you coined that have taken off in your own circles? (i.e. have heard others repeating it?) It might be within your own team, workplace or garnered greater popularity on the Internet.
Define your programming term, word or phrase in bold followed by an explanation, citation and/or usage example so we can use it in appropriate context.
This question serves in the spirit of communication among programmers through sharing of terminology with each other, to benefit us by its propagation within our own teams and environments.
Please no repeats of common jargon already ingrained in the programming culture like: "kludge", "automagically", "cruft", etc. (unless you coined it).
Stealing from the comments:
A shared vocabulary is the basis of
communication, not just among
programmers,
Note: This Programming question has been reworded/reorganized to phrase a real question and remove ambiguity, vagueness and rhetorical device. It is not difficult to know what is being asked & question can be reasonably answered (see answers below).
