When comparing Jack Smith's ((K8ZOA) excellent and detailed post in this 
thread, his use of "parasitic" is the same as my word "stray." That is, 
we're talking about exactly the same thing. The difference is I 
purposely simplified the explanation for those with less technical 
background.  I like the word "stray" better, both because it's the way I 
learned to talk about 60 years ago, and because it also describes 
phenomena that is unintended.
