Like it says in the OPīs quote of the moderator, itīs PPRuNe vernacular.
Must be because I have never heard it used anywhere else.
A late friend of mine, who was an airline captain, used the term self-loading cargo. This was long before the advent of PPRuNe.

Personally, I like Self-Moving Ballast. Being slightly overweight, it seems more appropriate.

In my line of work, anyone who uses our software (mainly pilots, but some office bods too), are known as Lusers, (a combination of Losers and Users). Some of my colleagues even have LARTs - Luser Attitude Readjustment Tools, such as baseball bats, hammers, large wrenches etc. I suspect some CC/FAs could make good use of a LART every now and then.
