Unlike traditional types such as string, number, or even JavaScript's dangerously permissive any, an ambiguous variable can contain any value, several values, or no value at all, depending on execution context, compiler mood, and whether anyone is currently debugging it.

It's different than loosely typed vars, which are not at all exclusive to Javascript
