Nostr definitely has its own jargon...
A bunker on Nostr is an app that holds your private key for you and when you want to make a post, or a comment, or 🤙someone else's post, instead of the app you are using needing to have your private key so it can sign for it, the request to sign will be sent to the bunker app via a Nostr relay, and the bunker will sign the request.
This way, you don't have to give your private key to every Nostr app you want to try out.
