I would rather not clutter the glossary with this sort of entry.  Already, it has clutter that should probably be removed so that once again it becomes a worthwhile read rather than turning into a dictionary of random terms (such as meta-path-finder, module spec, and regular-package).

Instead, there should probably be a FAQ entry or wiki entry on the ever evolving spoken cultural terminology:

   dunder --> double underscore
   stir   --> __str__
   repper --> __repr__
   rest --> .rst files or representational-state-transfer
   sequel -> sql
   gwid -> globally unique indentifier
   inker and decker -> incref and decef    (larry hastings pronunciation)
