The Alternative Dictionary of Web Design Terms

Webdesigner Depot runs “The Alternative Dictionary of Web Design Terms“.  It’s simple, yet pretty funny and accurate.  I liked all of it, but a few of my favorites are:

  • Agile: A development methodology that advocates self-organizing teams and flexibility, allowing startups to more efficiently realize they’re building something that no one wants.
  • Backlink: Before experimenting with dogs, Pavlov trained online marketers to salivate whenever he said “backlink”. It still works.
  • Code: The stuff they show on computer screens in the less-offensive Hollywood representations of hacking.
  • Comments (in Code): In-jokes and clever insights that only total nerds will ever see. One day, someone will achieve true enlightenment, and the secret will written down as a code comment, and lost to an obscure GitHub repository.
  • Navigation: The quickest and easiest way for a customer to get lost.
  • URL: U R Lost.
