#12Clicked on browse, and then read the first term for 'above the fold'. pure gold Unsucked: The mystical location on websites where advertisers want their ads to appear. Originally referred to physical newspapers, which folded in half and made money from advertising. Today, newspapers don’t have advertisers and just fold.
To be dull: "above the fold" means visible on the initial page view, without any scrolling.

#13I imagine our pointy-haired bosses would appreciate an "unsuck it" for tech jargon, with stuff like: orthagonal -> unrelated immutable -> unchangeable idempotent -> (is there a very short phrase that works here?)
idempotent -> one-and-done ?
It's kinda hard to summarize

I know I'm venturing off-topic here, but I believe "above the fold" in the newspaper world referred to story prominence on the front page rather than advertising. I don't recall, even long ago, seeing ads on real newspapers that were both front-page and "above the fold" . I imagine "above the fold" wasn't related to advertising until the web existed.
Around here they did exist, but were not so prominent, usually in a sidebar or topbar format. I think they were more common on slow news days, which both does and doesn't make sense.
They became more common overall as newspapers declined; how prominent they are now, I don't know, because the dead tree edition isn't worth reading anymore.

#18Seeing all the phrases my old colleagues used has really solidified that leaving consulting was a good choice for my own sanity. Stop trying to ping me on a go-forward basis to utilize and action upcoming synergies in a fulsome manner!

idempotent -> side-effect-free? safely-repeatable?

#20This is awesome. It has my favorite one: "ping me" Man, I hated hearing this. Just use normal words, please.
I don't mind that one, but "rockstar" in job descriptions drives me batty.
As do "send it" and "stan". So, it's across all cultural borders these days.
