Yeah, coming up with a cringe-worthy term to describe writing JS that can run in two places is so dumb. I can write Java, C#, C++, C and various other languages that can run in multiple environments. We didn't come up with stupid names for those.

Who says you have to say that? Just say Javascript. Nobody says, "Java that executes wherever there's a Java Runtime Engine". This is just stupid.
