We know that we need to know these terms at the point of the interview, the rest of the time we just need to know how things work when we code, and we do.
This is one reason I don't bother with terminology quizzes in interviews. They tell me nothing about what a dev can do (and probably give the impression that I'm looming over them with some smug sense of superiority, or at best that I nitpick over stupid crap).
