A connotation is a meaning commonly associated with a
word, other than its surface meaning (the "denotation").
This is different from a personal association,
which exists in the mind of one person but perhaps
no one else.

Some people may be unaware of a connotation, but (to qualify for that
term) it must be well enough known so as to be objectively part of the
language as it is used.

Hackers at MIT used to use "win" frequently to express praise.
It may not be used so much nowadays, but it is used sometimes.
