I believe ktRolster may be refering to "Procedural Abstration". The term is used in SICP [1] (the Wizard Book using scheme, previously freshman programming text at MIT).
Abstration can take many forms. But can often be described as "seperating things that change and/or repeat from those that don't", or something like that.
The last paragraph may be a joke, or based on one of the Principles in the O'Reilly Design Patterns [2] book.
