: Well... to answer your question, I was going to look the answer up "online" - that is to say, on the "net" - I mean of course the "Internet" - sometimes referred to as the "Information Superhighway" - y'know, on the "World Wide Web", which we usually call the "Web"...  To be less tongue-in-cheek, it's pretty common to have several terms to refer to a thing.  Moreso when the thing is important, and even moreso when the most exact name is proscribed, or even just in polite company requires euphemisms to avoid profanity.
