depending on who you ask,

reprofiling: changing the angle of the primary bevel (a very rough stone is implied)
sharpening: anything between reprofiling and honing, but usually still grinding the primary bevel, but with a medium grit stone to smooth out the primary bevel and remove large scratches created during reprofiling. sometimes used to refer to the creation of the secondary bevel
honing: this one really sets people off, but it can either mean establishing the secondary bevel with a fine stone, or further polishing of the secondary bevel with an extremely fine stone. sometimes used to refer to steeling or burnishing or de-burring or various other specific processes. point of contention often revolves around various interpretations of "removal of metal" (whether it's happening, whether this is good or bad, etc). can also mean that GMO is the same as selective breeding, tipping is for fags, wheat is murder, and red meat causes cancer.
