    Is 'callback' just a sort of variable name, or does is it actually a JS special keyword?

    If a function is called from another function but is not passed in as a callback, is the parent function asynchronous?

    If callbacks only run once the parent completes, why do statements coming after a callback in a parent's body still run?

    Is "callback" a keyword? Not as a parameter, but as part of the function's body?
