property
Also known as "managed attributes", and a feature of Python since
-        version 2.2. From `the property documentation`__:
-
-            Properties are a neat way to implement attributes whose usage
-            resembles attribute access, but whose implementation uses method
-            calls. [...] You
-            could only do this by overriding ``__getattr__`` and
-            ``__setattr__``; but overriding ``__setattr__`` slows down all
-            attribute assignments considerably, and overriding ``__getattr__``
-            is always a bit tricky to get right. Properties let you do this
-            painlessly, without having to override ``__getattr__`` or
-            ``__setattr__``.

queryset
An object representing some set of rows to be fetched from the database.

slug
A short label for something, containing only letters, numbers,
underscores or hyphens. They're generally used in URLs. For
example, in a typical blog entry URL:
-
+
.. parsed-literal::
-
-            http://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2008/apr/12/**spring**/
-
+
+            https://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2008/apr/12/**spring**/
+
the last bit (``spring``) is the slug.

template
A chunk of text that acts as formatting for representing data. A
template helps to abstract the presentation of data from the data
itself.
