Here is a list of commonly used words:

Script
A program designed for a H or HU card that will enable some or all channels to be viewed. There are four types of scripts/hacks:
Activation
Sends a very similar command to the card that DIRECTV sends when activation programming, except activates all programs that could normally be subscribed to (hence PPV's, etc are not opened). DirecTV combats Activation by constantly sending down "wipe" commands, which clear extra programming information from cards.
3M
A type of "mini-program" that actually sits on the card, and intercepts all "is this channel paid for" commands. When the receiver asks this command, the 3m steps in and says, simply, "yes". Hence, all channels work. DIRECTV can periodically send down updates to search for such programs, however, and destroy the card its sits on.
Stealth
Exactly the same as 3m except for one important detail: the script closes all known write-functionality of the card. This means that DirecTV can not perform any functions on the card, and hence cannot kill it. As of late 2000, stealth scripts have become obsolete because of dynamic coding abilities. Now, cards that are write-protected will not work, and hence stealth scripts will not work.
Emulation
A sort of "perfect stealth."
CAM ID
A unique identification number present on the memory of each and every DIRECTV Access Card, and also explicitly printed on the back of the card.
Bin (aka .bin file, valid bin, subbed bin, bad bin, good bin, etc)
A Bin is a type of file created by a program called BasicH. It is a copy of a cards Electroncally Eraseable and Programmable Read Only Memory (EPROM), which contains all the information that would be found on an access card, such as activated channels, stored PPV purchases, various functional code, etc. The .bin also contains the CAM ID and ZKT for the card. The .bin, therefore, can be transferred onto another card to change it's CAM ID. This is a useful tactic, as some CAM ID numbers are blacklisted. A valid .bin file is a .bin file with a CAM ID that is not blacklisted.
Blacklist
In an attempt to hinder hackers, DirecTV periodically adds specific CAM ID numbers to a blacklist. If an Access Card with a blacklisted CAM ID is used, the receiver will give a "Call Extension 745" error, regardless of whether or not the card has proper programming, or a good hack. This blacklist is why hackers usually copy known good .bins onto cards they wish to use.
Cloning/Clone
The process of taking the CAM ID and ZKT off of one H card, and placing it on another using a program called BasicH, thus creating a “clone” of the original card.
Cleaning
All H cards contain different data, but the hacks people wish to install are exactly the same. If the hack was simply put on each card individually, some would not work, others would, and some still would destroy the functionality of the card. This is why it is crucial to “clean” the card before installing a hack. BasicH will clean a card. The card’s information is reviewed, and any information that is not “clean” will be deleted or changed.
Security Area
The first few bytes of the H-card's Electronically Eraseable and Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM). These bytes are special in that they can only be written to once, and never changed after that. If this security area is thus marked somehow, it can never be repaired.
