Polymorphism
In my field of computer science, we use the term polymorphism to describe an attribute of object oriented design. One of my coworkers gave me today what is probably the funniest description I have ever heard: “If it walks like a duck, and talks like a duck, and all you care about is quacking and walking, then it’s a duck.” Yup, that’s polymorphism in its simplest form.
