Also, depending upon your profession, you will build up jargon that will often stay with you the rest of your life. And depending upon what era you grew up in, you'll have slang from your childhood and teenage years that may stay with you as well. I actually like to confuse today's kids with some of my jargon from when I was their age; the look on their faces is precious!
