>> Java calls it.. whatever it calls it. It's nice to have that 'hash table' google term to find the thing you want in a new language, but otherwise they're just words.
Actually, they are more than just words. Try not to conflate the abstract data structure itself with the language-specific implementations which can vary quite significantly. Also your flippant, dismissive attitude on quite important CS concepts wouldn't take you far. It's better to frame your argument like this ... "There's no point in testing for X or Y because ... e.g. we won't need X or Y to perform the job we are being tested for" which is quite reasonable as most devs CS-minted or otherwise will agree with you. & also while it might not be useful to rote memorize every single CS concept, it's sensible to at least have a passing familiarity. Why? Well, not being able to recognize what BFS even stands for in the first place is enough to raise a red flag anywhere.
