C# people tend to use lambda to mean lambdas, closures and sometimes anonymous functions.
Javascript people use closure to mean lambdas, closures and sometimes anonymous functions.
Ask two programmers the difference between lambdas, closures and anonymous functions and be prepared for a different and probably wrong explanation from most of them.
Including me.
And that's the only reason you don't know what a closure is, if you hung out around javascript programmers a bit more in RL or online you'd have heard it constantly.
If it was described to you, you'd know what it is.
