ironic that you cite 'baader-meinhof' as if it is commonly known, but think 'svelte' is arcane.

- preommr 7y agoAnyone on reddit for more than 6 months will be familiar with that term since it comes up in subs like r/til every other week. It's definitely not some super common term but I am guessing the overlap between hn and reddit is large enough that most people here would be familiar with it. On the other hand, I don't think I've ever seen anyone use svelte in common parlance in my lifetime.
