A language of its own

Of course every profession or sport or club has its own language used among insiders to get things done. As journalists, we're familiar with words or phrases other people find quite odd such as photog, clip, 5 W's, crawl, nut graf, and lede. After reading the glossary of fundamental accounting terms I realized that all businesses, including those in journalism, have to have some knowledge of these terms. I'd say I'd heard of one out of every four terms in the glossary, but could effectively explain maybe five total. Thinking that this doesn't apply to me as a non-business major is wrong because I could be part of or start a business in which having some idea of what everyone else is saying would come in handy.
