In some cases people also associate "static" vs "dynamic" with how they're assigned. One local ISP assigns all IPs via DHCP, and a lot of people refuse to call those static IPs "static".
Note that DHCP is mandatory with this ISP, if you don't renew your lease then traffic will no longer be routed to your IP.
Some devices will refuse to consider that static as well. IPSEC vpns on some devices won't work with DHCP assigned addresses.
