The first three definitely are, the jury is still out on the last two

While I won't be dragged into an argument about pronunciation (the answer is always: let the user say it first and follow their lead), I have always thought "chmod" looked like an insult.

If someone calls you a chmod, does that mean you got chown’d?

It just demonstrates the degree of tech's perversion that scrum master is a position of respect, while in the real world if you called someone that you'd be picking up teeth from the floor of the bar

Maybe not in a rugby bar. Would depend on the inflection.

same vibe as Victorian London waste disposal worker terms. Also: bunters, toshers, mudlarks, pure-finders

Reminds me of one time in the mid-90s when I was ogling the Macs. I asked the guy about hooking up my camera and he said I'd need a dongle...

Yes I know what a dongle is NOW.
But at the time I was just a teen in the 90s and I scoffed at him for making up words. Like a whosit or a thingamajig.
