Not that it's a PERFECT match, but a lot of terminology on sites like this, comes from military jargon, likewise adopted by us 'keyboard commando' types.:p
While not always a PERFECT match, here's a good starting point - a glossary of terms, from survivalblog.com - http://www.survivalblog.com/glossary.html
Use it, for what it's worth - when in doubt, explain it anyways.
:salut:
