They are a kind of jargon. Try to explain that to a Martian. Or even
to a non-native English speakers. I speak a couple of languages other
than English, and none of them has "swimming pools" and "shopping
lists", verbatim.
Anyway, I think this argument is futile. I'm trying to find a better
terminology that doesn't need explaining; I don't think anyone should
have a problem with a clearer terminology.
