It's a snarl word for dynamically typed languages, to conflate strong, dynamic type systems like Python's with true untyped languages like Assembly, Forth, and BCPL.

It has types... which are rarely at runtime, when you typically just use an unchecked bag of key-value pairs.

It's closer to getting a bag of bytes in assembly than it is to the behaviour you'd get in any actually-typed language.

Nobody should be using such crap in 2018.

'Dynamically typed' is a colloquial term for an untyped language.

Yeah, exactly.
