Why? "bine", as in binary, sounds stupid. I think of it as a bin in which to place binaries.
Why? It's easier to say than ee tee see or et cetera, and the literal meaning of the phrase is less important when it comes to describing file paths.
Why? See "bin", except I have no word imagery for its use.
Why? It doesn't seem standard on Linux and a user with which I'm speaking may already have a "/mount" - I did when I was young and thought /mnt was reserved.
Why? The user is opting in to optional software.
Why? Seems easier to say than "pross" like in processes.
Why? That's what seems intuitive to me. My system doesn't have it.
Why? It stands for superuser do.
Why? It's easy to say and short for system.
Why? It's where temporary files go.
Why? That seems to be what everybody says. Personally sometimes I say "vee" instead.
