- Inspired by:

- => https://wiktionary.org/

- I'm avoiding the terms jargon and dictionary because they are specific terms, specially on how they are used.
- ## nouns

Also known as "automatic updates" and "remote code execution", the latter being a security issue if it's not intended execution by the user.
