Sugar or syntactic sugar is a nicer more human readable syntax for the same things that you'd be doing in a maybe not even always more complex way but sometimes just an uglier way so to say. It's taking a thing that everybody kind of did a certain way already and saying oh you can also do it this way in JavaScript as well using this class syntax. But me personally, you know, I'm a fan of sugar.

In this Hasty Treat, Scott and Wes explain what the jargon you hear in JavaScript means.
