Web Development vs Cleaning Products

Is it me or are there a number a web development terms that are the same as some cleaning products. Here are the ones I have come across so far:

  1. SOAP - Simple Object Access Protocol - I think the connection with cleaning is obvious!
  2. AJAX - household cleaners - not sure it is still sold as AJAX in the UK though.
  3. Flash - A recent new advertising campaign for Flash which is one of those brands that I have been aware of since I was a kid.
