People are different.

When I think about containers, I think about isolated system images, lightweight VMs, which I can use and adapt to solve a problem at hand.

When I hear Docker, I think about static, locked-down application-images made by others, to deploy in the cloud, which I'm not given to adapt to my needs, and I also think about things which is not natively integrated into my Linux-distro and for which I will have to provide glue manually. I also think about a startling amount of complexity in a new stack which I would have to learn, just to manage what is actually really just basic Linux-systems.

While all that may or may not be true, that's what I think about when I hear "Docker".

Hearing "containers" on the other hand, makes me happy. And yeah, I'll got with LXC/LXD any day.
