Get the costs big bickies mug.
A buzzword usually uttered by someone trying to sell you the idea that you should rewrite your project in Rust. It supposedly means "free" abstractions that don't come with overheads and penalties, but in reality they're anything but free.
If you hear someone use the term zero cost abstraction unironically, run as fast as you possibly can because you're cornered by a snake oil salesman.

Cost per fuck. This was explained to me back in the 1990's in Newport Beach, California. Say a cute young girl is dating a rich old man. He takes her to dinner a few nights a week, buys her gifts like jewelry and a car, they go on vacations, he pays her rent, etc. You total up how much he has spent on her then divide it by how many times they have sex. That becomes the cost per fuck. It also works for married people. Some married couples don't have any sex at all.
