The denizens of Silicon Valley have been inventing their own language, one that is often as incomprehensible as pirate-speak outside of the Bay Area.

Now there’s a Silicon Valley Dictionary, and it’s growing daily.

Examples:

Bus Factor: The number of people that need to be hit by a bus before their project is dead.
Code Ninja: A euphemism that is used by Bay Area recruiters who don’t actually know what in particular they want in a Software Engineer, just someone who can pretty much do everything and anything that’s handed to them. 
CUI: Coding under the influence. 

• Outside-In Engineer: An engineer who doesn’t display fear, anger, happiness, sadness, or disgust—five key emotions popularized in Pixar’s Inside Out.
