Regular folks: "Those lines are perpendicular."
Mathematicians in formal attire: "I believe you mean orthogonal, my good sir." *adjusts monocle*
It's the same exact thing—two lines meeting at 90° angles—but mathematicians just can't resist using the fancy term that makes calculus students cry themselves to sleep. Classic academic flexing!
