I explained endian-ness in an earlier message, but this mailing list
is not the right place to ask about elementary terminology.
Try the "Jargon File", which is the basis for The Hacker's Dictionary
http://www.yahoo.com/Computers_and_Internet/Information_and_Documentation/Computing_Dictionaries/Jargon_File__The/
More generally, try:
http://www.yahoo.com/Computers_and_Internet/Information_and_Documentation/Computing_Dictionaries/
"Vice-vesa" is (I assume) a "typo" (typographical error) of "vice versa",
which you can find in any dictionary.
