Yeah, probably stuff you don't need to worry about at home (or even in a small business) unless you're a real geek about it.
Not sure you'll run across this in 24-port switches, but at least in 48-port models a particularly confusing term is "stackable". This has nothing to do with physically stacking up the boxes and everything to do with connecting switches together to make them manage as one large switch.
If you need that in your house you must be Bill Gates.
