Yes, but the common slang it is used for isn't the meaning we are using for l00tcode questions.

There isn't one meaning in leetcode questions; it could mean a bunch of things. That's why you ask questions in an interview.
The common meaning isn’t slang. The (multiple!) math/CS senses of the word are jargon. Which is fine—nothing wrong with jargon—but their existence doesn’t make the ordinary sense slang.
