While learning the basics of Java in 2004, the word which annoyed me the most was
Yield
Seriously!!
The only yield I was aware at that time was related to cultivation
Meaning : to give forth or produce by a natural process or in return for cultivation.
USAGE : This farm yields enough fruit to meet all our needs.
I could neither relate this meaning to the threads concept nor I could accept the actual meaning

.
It took me a while to glue in the other meaning
to give up, as to superior power or authority into my head.
Anyone had similar experiences??
