NLP

To pastors and hypnotists everywhere, NLP is Neuro-linguistic programming.

But it is apparently also Natural language processing, which is a computer geek / linguistic term for something rather different, according to Wikipedia:

Natural language processing (NLP) is a subfield of artificial intelligence and linguistics. It studies the problems of automated generation and understanding of natural human languages. Natural language generation systems convert information from computer databases into normal-sounding human language, and natural language understanding systems convert samples of human language into more formal representations that are easier for computer programs to manipulate.
