There are two parts to any language, grammar and a lexicon. The lexicon is a collection of words. Grammar provides the rules of how they're stuck together.


Over the years here in All n One we have created some new additions to the English lexicon:


Gramalocially: "That sentence was gramalocially incorrect", i.e. the grammar and logic were both incorrect. Can be heavily applied to computer programming. Source~PJ


To get a hamster: To receive an error message from the bxp platform. Source~PL


Automagically: Without getting into the technical details of something, you press a button and it will happen automatically, but due to a lack of technical understanding will appear like magic. Source~PL


We are infinitely flexible: Whatever the client wants the client gets. Source~AF


There may be tactical implications below: Whatever you write next is going to cause tons of work. Source~PL


Why, oh why, is this here: A coders comment after many late nights which leads to the mirth of other programmers finding this comment years later! Source~PL


I'm not removing this because I don't know what it does: A safety positional comment designed to ensure complex code doesn't fall over. Source~PL
