Eric Lippert posted a few entries titled "Five-Dollar Words for Programmers." So far, he has covered the following:
- Idempotence
- Orthogonal
- Homoiconic
- Boustrophedonic
- Reification
Just in case you are wondering why should one know these words, I would like to reiterate that
to know is to be able to "identify" and "associate". A word has everything in it!
