I remember being on the losing side of a small debate about this long ago. When the smoke cleared it was understood and accepted by all that having a pocket pair (7-7) with a card on the board matching the two in your hand (another 7) was a "set". Having only one of a rank in your hand like (T-8) and making three-of-a-kind on the the board (A, 8, 4, 8, Q) was "trips".

I now use those terms to refer to those situations. My understanding is that this if fairly common knowledge.
