Years ago back when the dinosaurs roamed the earth... I worked for a cabinet maker shop, given I did have a small background in carpentry the language or terminology they used to describe different aspects of the work were very foreign to me to say the least but over time working for the company I managed to pick up the lingo and it made life a lot easier because I could communicate with the people around me as well pick up work on the side because I sounded like I knew what I was talking about to potential customers even if I didn't 
.
The same thing can be said for programming we have different people from all over the world here trying to describe different aspects of the tfs framework and the lua language in everything but what they are called.
In 1 of the recent threads someone referred to a metamethod as a metatable function and in another thread I came across someone called an interface a main function.
Now this might seem trivial, it isn't, by using proper terminology to describe something you learn what that something is and what it does especially if you can't find a meaningful definition for it on say these forums.
Even if you have absolutely no idea what something does as long you know its proper name you will 100% of the time find a reasonable explanation of what it does and an example of how it can be used in any search engine.
So keep this in mind the next time you try to explain to someone what yours or their code should do, this way they truly learn something from you.
