People stopped being snobbish about knowing what those words mean about a decade ago. It would be an useful slap on the face of those people back then, but now if it's useful it's only for calming down some random person that know what they mean but isn't confident about it.

You can still be snobby by instead insisting on "fold, scan, iterate"
