Yeah, I think what helps is I just have a running conversation on the Claude app open where I said:

> "I frequently use Claude Code and often find the phrasing and language to be hard to understand. I've noticed it's largely broken down into frequently used 'Claude-isms'. I'd like to use this conversation as a running log to ask you about these phrases when I see them. Understandably you don't have the context of the Claude Code session itself, but that's okay because this is largely about understanding the most common and widely use Claude-isms."

And then I just copy and paste small except and ask about things like "smoke" or "load-bearing" or "tripwire". The responses are surprisingly clearly and plainly explained.
