It used to be that "layout" referred to the key poses of a character that would end up in the final product, and "in-betweens" would be the things that would go between the layouts.
But I can't find any pictures of layout drawings from Regular Show, Adventure Time, or Steven Universe. Googling for them just finds me background drawings, which I suppose are referred to as layouts now.
So what do they call this step in the process now, if not "layout"?
Pic related, is a layout drawing from Ren & Stimpy.
I always thought they were called keyframes.

Layouts are integrated into the storyboards for the show, which include dialogue and keyframes.

Storyboards tend to be fairly rough, though. Do they revise them afterwards to include keyframes?

As someone who works in animation, I can never tell what "layout" means anymore. When did it become such a vague and interchangeable term?
I think what you're referring to is now known as a "special pose"

While many storyboards are rough, the poses in them remain fairly untouched in the final product. These storyboards are aided in model sheets, which have become increasingly abundant not only for characters, but objects as well.
So now the movement can look like shit but as long as certain poses look alright it's given a pass?

Say what you will about John K., but he has a killer autograph.

"Layout" is more like a combination of "storyboard" and "model"/"pose". It's just a cleaned up guide for the full frame.
Here are some books on layout
