I've gone to talks where I eventually figure-out that the topic is fairly simple, but I didn't know the hash from the list of historical scientists that name a method to the narrow meaning those hyphenated names have in the context of the talk. They could have made it intuitive and accessible, but they couldn't be bothered. That I find kind of clubby and irritating but endurable. You used the term "work" anyway and that makes sense to me.
