From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   Jargon Construction
  
      There are some standard methods of jargonification that became
   established quite early (i.e., before 1970), spreading from such
   sources as the Tech Model Railroad Club, the PDP-1 SPACEWAR hackers,
   and John McCarthy's original crew of LISPers.   These include verb
   doubling, soundalike slang, the `-P' convention, overgeneralization,
   spoken inarticulations, and anthropomorphization.   Each is discussed
   below.   We also cover the standard comparatives for design quality.
  
      Of these six, verb doubling, overgeneralization,
   anthropomorphization, and (especially) spoken inarticulations have
   become quite general; but soundalike slang is still largely confined to
   MIT and other large universities, and the `-P' convention is found only
   where LISPers flourish.
