Maybe not for all of them. However, for "choke hold" I think most of the FRC community relies on the definition Karthik gave many years ago:

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
