On a completely innocuous side note, I kind of like to see the ´drop´ language used by electronic dance music and hip hop producers used in software.

I think before "drop" in electronic music was a widely used term, "dropping a new track" (ie releasing new music) was a common hip-hop term, since forever.

FWIW the expression comes from delivery by airplane and parachute. Probably started to be used UPS-style delivery drivers and/or drug dealers, and spread from there. Now it just means "deliver".

Honestly I think this is drop as in drop shipping.
