novation 

An improper word coming from incorrectly assuming that the first two letters <in> in <innovation> are a negating prefix (like incapable), and removing them to negate the meaning once more. The opposite of innovation, familiarity, imitation, etc. May also mean going in the opposite direction of innovation, reversion, degeneration, etc.

You don't have to reinvent the wheel with this novation every time you want to change that.

hungarian notation 

In programming, a coding standard where all variables are tagged so you can tell their datatype by looking at the name. Microsoft likes hungarian notation, I do not. It is useful when naming GUI objects though.

nonhungarian notation:
int number;
string name;
double value;
-------------------------
hungarian notation
int nNumber;
string strName;
double dValue;

nolationship 

when two people (regardless of sexuality) act so much like they are in a relationship with each other that they really kind of are, but they reassure everyone that they are not a dating couple.

Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston are in a nolationship, because they act exactly like they're a couple but they tell everyone they are not dating each other.

hungarian notation 

Refers to the programming habit of naming variables so that the variable's intended use is clear from it's name.

The original hungarian notation was first described and used by Charles Simonyi, a hungarian programmer who worked for Microsoft.

Using hungarian notation, a variable called a_crszkvc30LastNameCol would imply a constant reference function argument, holding the contents of a database column of type VARCHAR(30) called LastName that was part of the table's primary key
