Fluid, Adaptive, or Responsive?

As a web developer, I'm starting to have more and more conversations about responsive websites. The term is being used as a catch all similar to how same people are using the term html5. Some people mean a fluid layout, others mean an adaptive layout, and (I think just by chance) some people really do mean a responsive layout. There are plenty of blog entries out there already that talk about these, so my thoughts after the jump are more about crystallising my own understanding rather than adding anything new to the definitions.
