I see "orthogonal" used quite frequently on HN. I remember reading a comment here that explained it something like: > Ironically, the meaning of "orthogonal" has become orthogonal to the real meaning because now it can mean both "perpendicular" and "parallel", both "at odds" and "unrelated" Edit: found it https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1997093 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1997093 (my memory was pretty close)
