I didn't realise something as specific as 'race condition' could have a colloquial definition, but ok.

For many terms of (programming) jargon, there's a strict academic definition, perhaps as defined in a paper in which the term was originally introduced, and the usage of the word in the broader (programming) community.

The latter is the colloquial definition.
