zero cost abstraction

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.

Zerophilia

Zerophilia is a rare genetic condition affecting those who possess an extra "Z" chromosome, in addition to the standard gender-determining X and Y chromosomes. Following their first experience of sexual intercourse, Zerophiliacs may change gender whenever they are sexually aroused.
