You're making that up
I witnessed this:
A business analyst explaining to a marketing person about how we derived some clever bit of functionality.

"So we take all the locational data and using an algorithm plot set the zoom level of the map."

Marketing person
"You just made that up!"

Analyst
"What? What did I make up?" (looks slightly hurt)

Marketing person
"Algorithm - that's not a real word!
