Hi Charlie--
Also particularly amusing: I describe what I do as a programmer as TDD,
and what we do as a team to get on the same page to drive features as
BDD. But you can swap the acronyms, too. (Context usually makes it clear
what we're talking about, but I've had a few customer calls where I had
to stop them and ask for a definition.)
Cheers,
Jeff

Our TDD, XP and Agile movements have been plagued by the
search for terms, which everyone will automatically understand
(in
the same way we understand them) upon first encountering them. There
really are no terms like that. In the rather basic
dictionary I
have by my desk, there are 14 definitions of "test" and 13 for "unit."
("Behavior" has only four, which will make some
proponents
happy, but they are mostly pretty non-specific and don't include
"Category for which Charlie used to get a low
grade on his
report card!")
