Describing databases and external connectivity as rubbish does provide a clue to the poor performance of so many applications. Aren't they integral to the application?

When talking to management, I call it the Operating Environment.
With nerds, you can go with WSOGMM (Whole-Sort Of General Mis-Mash). Shout out to Douglas Adams.
If you're talking to marketers, call it the Mist (because it can be local, right?) and they'll go all gooey. Because they think it's a marketing term that refers to the Cloud.
When talking to techs, I use a different word. Notably: why isn't my %$&^ running on your #$&*!!!

No, but it does have gorillas.

"FrameWork," or, "Application Context"
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

A computer is a stupid machine with the ability to do incredibly smart things, while computer programmers are smart people with the ability to do incredibly stupid things. They are, in short, a perfect match. - B. Bryson

I went to McDonald's yesterday (I usually only get a Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Biscuit and some fries), and someone mixed up Bacon and sausage. I went back and talked to the manager, and she sighed and said 'again?', so it seems that this has happened before.
As I was leaving, she was giving the employee responsible an earful, and he said, and I quote, "Bacon is pork. Sausage is pork. Therefore sausage is Bacon".
The entire restaurant fell silent at that.
I left right afterwards, so I don't know what happened next.
But still, how do you mix up Bacon and sausage?
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Since when do they have McDonald's in Mordor? 
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
