    Seems innocuous to me? Neutral and concise way of differentiating. I see similar linguistic patterns pretty much everywhere, in work settings and hobby groups and such.

    General words often accumulate particular connotations in specific contexts. That's just how language works.

      I mean we know that 75% of the threads here are indecipherable to anyone who hasn't lurked for like 6 weeks at least. Same difference. When you first enter a new social space you pick up these linguistic nuances over time, and that's one important way to be part of the "in group".
