ANSI Common Lisp uses "variable", and nonchalantly introduces the oxymoron "constant variable" as a normative term in its glossary: constant variable n. a variable, the value of which can never change; that is, a keyword or a named constant. ``The symbols t, nil, :direction, and most-positive-fixnum are constant variables.'' Cringe-inducing abuse of English. As adjectives, "constant" and "variable" are diametric opposites. To be constant is not to vary.
