Having a chat with a colleague the other day and they were confused when I used the word “proc” (as in “I don’t think the token clean up can proc during that type of request”). Gamers (particularly MMO gamers) will already be familiar with the word. It means “to occur”, essentially, usually in reference to something that has a chance to occur during some regular event (like a chance on hit).
The word leaked into my vocab a long time ago and it’s one of those I just assume is in everyone else’s too.
