Beauty terms - I'm confused!!!??!!

As I delve deeper and deeper into the world of beauty I feel I have discovered a new language with the amount of terms/words used that I have no idea what they mean. I thought I would give you a quick run down of a few terms I have learned to date...

Pigment [pig-muhnt] noun a colouring matter or substance.
Now I have obviously heard of the word pigment before, however it's not in my usual daily vocab. Since watcing vlogs and reading blogs I have found the word pigment is used continuously to confirm how much colour is in a product. E.g "this new Mac lipstick is sooooo pigmented".

Doe foot applicator [doe foo t ap-li-key-ter] consists of a very small, fuzzy piece of foam on a long stem to be used in a lip product (normally lipgloss).
A totally new one to me I had no idea what this was until I looked it up! Who came up with this name very strange???? Why not another other animal foot...stag foot, horse foot, cow foot etc??

Kabuki brush [Ka-boo-key brush] A make up brush that offers full coverage with a wide range of make up.
I had seen this brush before however, I was unsure of what I would use it for. I have recently bought a pot of BareMinerals Original SPF15 Click Lock Foundation Bare Escentuals (review coming soon) therefore, one of these brushes would be perfect. Can anyone recommend a good make that I should buy?

There are only a few terms here but as I discover more I shall report back! What is the strangest beauty term / words you have heard?
