  During the last several years a non-perturbative formulation of exact chiral
symmetry on the lattice has been developed. I shall outline the main ideas of
these developments and discuss prospects for the future. The focus will be on
the basic concepts enciphered in a new jargon consisting of terms like
``infinite number of fermions'', ``domain wall fermions'', ``the overlap'',
``the Ginsparg-Wilson relation''. Technical details will be omitted.
