Take a look at the following statement:
"I prefer the WG0C MS from GW:EW to any of the UC MS designs, in terms of Gunpla, I favour the PG and MG classes"
Unless you already know what I am talking about then that comment will just be a useless string of jargon, but in the minds of some it is perfectly acceptable to talk like this all the time. This isn't just about jargon, but anything which needs some sort of explanation in order to understand it, rather than a blind assumption that someone knows (and indeed cares) what you're on about.
The use of "Have you heard/read/ingested/been exposed to..." is a simple tool to defend against phrases such as "What the bald arse of Lord Admiral Nelson are you talking about?"
