The Layperson's IT Glossary
Remember the "Blonde's Medical Dictionary?" (Of course, that's completely derogatory and we don't condone it at all.) But let's face it, IT jargon can be a little overwhelming to the average individual. I mean, try talking about a "SQL injection attack" or a "buffer overflow vulnerability" in everyday conversation to the nontechie layperson and you'll probably be subjected to a blank stare followed by a request to be excused because the poodle needs a shampoo.
So we tried to make things a bit easier. Here are a few IT terms that we've, er, took the liberty of redefining so techie types can fit in at neighborhood barbecues and nontechie types will actually invite them. Enjoy!
