Even if you don’t know Linux well enough, you should know these common terms to blend in

These really are the key components which comprise a Linux system. Unlike Windows, which is a single stack, and you don’t have any options to swap anything out, Linux is a more modular system.

Tech #jargon 101:

There are tons of acronyms and noone knows them all.
🙃🧐

Chances are something ending in P is a protocol:
HTTP, SMTP, BGP...

Ending in an I are interfaces:
UEFI, API, SBI, GUI...

Alright, and now good luck figuring out anything you encounter - mind that acronyms are short and likely to collide, auch as MAC: Message Authentication Code, Medium Access Control, Mandatory Access Control, multiply-accumulate... Wikipedia often offers a disambiguation list:

Parents (and non-parents), what do you think my 5th graders (age 10) is learning in math based on this quote by her teacher?

This is not really new. There was research maybe 10-20 years ago about patients being more willing to "expose" personal history on a web form that they were unwilling to discuss with a human clinician (sexual history for example).
