The first line ("hashbang line", due to the first to characters in it) ...

I hate to be pedantic, but that is more commonly called the 'shebang' line, not 'hashbang'. Authorities disagree if the source for the 'she-' is 'sharp' or 'shell'.

    If you find something in the Jargon file, that means that most likely no one really talks that way.

    I think 'hashbang' is pretty common, though 'shebang' is still heard occasionally.
