Summary: terminology needed

[this line is treif, circumcized computers please don't eat]

It's even difficult to describe the situation of a food not
containing any explicit meat or dairy, but being cooked in a
meat or dairy pot.  People always ask "is that milk (or meat),"
"no, but it was cooked in a milk pot" takes too long to say.
Similarly, "pareve" is Yiddish, not Hebrew so you will sometimes
see on Israeli products "may be eaten with meat or milk foods" (xlated).

I think we need at least five different words to describe the possibilities.

I also wish I had learned more about Kashrut in Yeshiva.  They taught
us lots of Mishneh Brurah but no Yoreh Deah at all.  Have others had
different experiences?  I wonder why this is.
