What 2 words can be used as an alternative to Stack Exchange and have roughly the same meaning?

    Stack Exchange is a name; its "meaning" is the system of internet sites which it designates, so only another name would have the same meaning. "Fred Johnson" would qualify -- if we started calling SE that. (The name derives, I have always assumed, from a witty variation on stock exchange.)

    And since “stack exchange” is two words and has precisely the meaning you’re looking for why do you need two different words?

  • @StoneyB A cross between stack overflow (a programming term and the name of the original SE site) and stock exchange, yes.

    I think this was a good question. I believe the generic term for sites such as the ones in the Stack Exchange family is a knowledge exchange. I believe that is the term that Joel Spolsky and Jeff Atwood used to use when they were talking about it on their podcast and blogs.

If you want each individual word to have the same meaning, I guess pile trading. If you want the entire phrase to have the same meaning perhaps information trading.
