FWIW, I learned Lisp on the street and I don't think the meaning of
“generalized variable” or “place” is especially hard to guess.  It may
not be obvious for the uninitiated, but there are worse pitfalls.

Perhaps “everybody” learns what an l-value is in their compilers class,
but I find that term pretty opaque.
