Mayny languages have both. Usually, people ends up using only one of 
them (&& or ||) and reserve the other one for dirty tricks (connect() or 
die()) abusing lazy evaluation.

I'm not aware of idoms in all langauges, for all languages I know about, 
fact showed us that && and || is a better alternative.
