ortho

Abbreviation for Orthodox Jew, often used among other Jews who are not themselves Orthodox. It is usually a derogatory term, but mainly in jest.

orthogonal

A word used by the tech-savvy to sound smarter than the really are.

More specifically:

A math term that means perpendicular, but not just in 2D but in any dimension. Now commonly used to indicate an idea or concept that stands apart so much from everything else that it "sticks out," is "from left field," or is "third-way."

"I have this co-worker who keeps using the word 'orthogonal,' usually after he mentions some idea he thinks is God's gift to man. Can't wait to get this word into my vocab. Soon as I figure out what it means."

Orthodontics

Orthodontics is the practice of straightening teeth. It is practiced by specialists called "Orthodontists". Their job is to fit you with the infamous braces as well as any appliance that you may need.

Jazmine: "Have you seen Samantha today?" "She's now a victim of Orthodontics."

Keisha: "Yes, I've seen her mouth." "Such a shame, she was a beautiful person." "Now she will lose everything socially related."
