The funny thing is, the English words like "slice" and "stream" make 
more sense in Swedish in a technical context because they are detached 
from their actual meanings. That is not the case for most English 
speakers because they can't help but think of a slice of bread, pizza, 
cake, etc., at least initially. :)
