Every science, profession and occupation has its own set of words, some of which are considered to be “slang” and others “ technical,” depending on the status of the people using these “in” words. Such words are sometimes called jargon or argot. Quiet on the Set: Film Jargon What is a “take”? If you're asked to “cheat”, what are you being asked to do?
