The word Zap in contemporary usage hails from terminology describing a lightning payment sent within nostr clients. Stacker News had lightning payments BEFORE the term Zap came to exist, and yet I see people appropriating the word "zap" to describe any lightning payment and I feel butt hurt because Podcasting 2.0 already had a word for sending a value payment by lightning in podcasts, and that word is BOOST.
Podcasting 2.0 existed BEFORE nostr. So I will only use Zap to refer to lightning payments in nostr, and will forever look down upon revisionists appropriating zaps outside of nostr.
The end.
