- 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.
