In the fourth discussion, I decide to combine 2 beginners discussions made by /u/layendecker. In this series i will talk through a few of the errors that are common for both, beginner and more experienced players and the terminology of the game.

If you are a beginner and would like to look back at the previous entries in the series, they are the following:

• #1 – Tactics
• #2 - Building a team
• #3 - Raising team value

#Mistakes when creating a team

Including defensive midfielders – FPL is all about goal threat, and players with a defensive mindset are almost always a waste of space in your team. It is far better to punt on a risky attacking player, than it is on a nailed on defensive player.

Wasting money on the bench - each additional 1.0 you have sitting on the bench is a 1.0 that could be used in your squad. Whilst having players on the bench who rotate well, or can come on and do a job when the first choice is injured is a good thing- Going with 6.5+ attacking players benched, is throwing money away for me.

Having not nailed on players - Cameos are the enemy of every FPL player, and having players of considerable value who aren’t nailed on is a potentially amazingly costly risk. Fabregas is very popular, although he is a huge risk without knowing Conte CM preferences.

Relying on differential to justify decisions - Differential is one of the words that is thrown around by a lot of FPL managers as justification for picks. And while there is a time and a place for it, there is usually a reason why players are included in a low % of squads. If you think a player has the same point potential to a higher owned player, than by all means include him- punting on differentials with a lower PPG potential is a more end of season strategy when you are chasing leaders, avoid until then.

Not planning ahead - having a great team for GW1 is what you want, but if it goes to hell in GW2 then you are not going to do too well. Plan your future 3-4 weeks moves ahead of time, and have backup plans in place for when it inevitably does to shit. Good squads have options, the more the better.

#Mistakes During The Season

Chasing last weeks points - this is the big trap many players fall into their first few years playing FPL. Whilst jumping on bandwagons before great players become t

New over here and got in just after a dollar. loaded up my little GME boat. Sorry we have come over and taken over your sub talking in our strange language. As a thank you for the wonderful DD in the Loopring University (very helpful). Here is a glossary to help you, the good people of Loopring, understand what the hell your new best friends are talking about... Enjoy and lets MOASS to the moon and get them fcuking tendies together !

Autist: a clever ape who looks at charts, does DD and explains stuff to retards.

Crayon: In addition to tendies, an apes main form of nutrition, Green Crayons are the tastiest. Our wife's boyfriend gives us these on green days. But we eat up all the red crayons too on red days. We just buy, eat crayons and HODL.

DD: Due diligence, charts and sh1t.

DFV: deepfuckingvalue / Roaring kitty. A prince among apes, the redditor who introduced the rest of us to GME and explained the Short squeeze set up. A man who just likes the stonk.

DRS: Direct registration system. Where we send our stonks to sleep in the infinity pool to prevent Kenny and the SHF’s using them for shorting, loaning, IOUs and general fcukery. Tucked up warm, our goal is to lock the available float to trigger the MOASS. Kind of like keeping them in your own Crypto wallet.

Floor: the minimum price we will sell our stonks for each. See 69,420,741 below.

Infinity Pool: Once we lock all the available shares that are in the float by direct registering them, The SHFs cannot close their short position as there are no shares available and we squeeze them hedgies nuts until it rains tendies on everyone.

Ken: Kenny / Kenneth Cordele Griffin – the CEO of Shitadel and main subject of our rage and memes. An all-round purveyor of fcukery, dark pool abuse and stock manipulation.

MOASS: Mother of all Short Squeezes. What will happen to GME when it moons and we squeeze them hedgies nuts.

Mothers Basement: Where all apes live, eating Tendies and waiting for the wifes boyfriend to give us pocket money to buy stonks.

SHF: Short hedge funds / Sh1thedge funds. The guys on the other side of the trade who shorted our beloved stonk and will have to pay us in tendies after MOASS. Fcuk them damn hedgies.

Sh1tadel: Citadel Investment Group. The main player in the shorting of GME. Bad people. Example: Shitadel can go fcuk themselves, Kenny better get ready to bring me my tendies.

Smooth Brain: a young ape who is unseasoned in bat

FI/RE: Financial Independence / Retiring Early. Financial independence usually refers to no longer needing to sell your labor in order to cover your necessary expenses for the rest of your life. Retiring Early usually refers to actually exiting the labor market and living off your profits from participating in the capital market.

Coast FI/RE: Having enough invested for retirement that you no longer need to contribute to your investments to retire by your expected future retirement age (based on expected returns).

Barista FI/RE: Having achieved Coast FI/RE, choosing to take a less-stressful job since you no longer need as much income to match your expenses without any savings goals.

Lean FI/RE: Retiring early with expected expenses under the median household income in your area. Metaphorically “tightening the belt” on a permanent basis, either to retire even earlier or because you will be happy enough without spending more than most.

Fat FI/RE: Retiring early with expected expenses in the top percentile of household income in your area. Named for being the opposite of “lean,” like with steak. Requires more investment, often locking this strategy behind either being a high-earner in your contributing years, working longer, or being lucky.

Leverage: Debt. In this context, usually debt taken on to invest, hopefully to be paid off by the returns on the investment. Adds extra risk in exchange for potentially higher returns.

TNSTAAFL: There’s No Such Thing As A Free Lunch. In other words, you’ll usually never get anything truly for free. Additional potential rewards in an investment come with additional risk. Free healthcare is paid for by taxes. Free lunches usually mean someone is trying to get your time and attention to try to sell you something.

Boglehead: Someone who follows the investing strategy of Jack Bogle. The Bogleheads Wiki is a great resource for learning about that investing strategy.

REI: Real Estate Investing. If you’re the one doing the property searching, due diligence, offers, renovations, tenant marketing, and/or maintenance, it’s a part time job—not passive income. However, it’s one of the most accessible ways for people other than the super-rich to invest using leverage.

REIT: Real Estate Investment Trust. An easy way to invest in real estate passively, and in a way that diversifies your geographical risk. These entities invest in real estate, handle all of the work to extract rents, sell

Scrolling through the incel forums is hard when they've practically made up their own language. I'm gonna share some of the most common words and their meanings, based on context clues. . Incel - involuntarily celibate, usually very misogynist because they're sexually frustrated and lonely Gymcel - an incel who uses going to the gym to cope with their inceldom or become more attractive Femcel - a female incel, unwelcome in the incel community because most incels hate women -cel (suffix) - a person who is an incel (ricecel is an asian incel) Chad - an attractive and successful alpha male who presumably gets laid constantly. The opposite of an incel. Alpha male - a man who is very masculine and dominant, successful and attractive Beta male - a man who is shy, unattractive, feminine, or has other qualities not typical of a masculine person Stacy - an attractive but stuck-up woman, a female Chad. It's easy for her to get through life because men worship her Becky - basically another word for Stacy, or a stereotypical white woman Rice - an asian person Curry - an indian person Noodle - an Asian woman Cuck - short for cuckold, or someone who gets off on watching other men have sex with his wife/girlfriend. Meaning has expanded to mean anyone who is a beta, simp, or someone who said something you don't agree with Simp - someone who pines for women, usually staying in the friend zone and not having their feelings reciprocated Bluepill - a reference to The Matrix in which the bluepill represents continuing to live in a fantasy. Someone who is bluepilled does not see the world as the alt-right or incels see it, they believe what is accepted by most of society as fact (like that vaccines work or that racism is bad) Redpill - a reference to The Matrix in which the redpill represents seeing the truth. Someone who is redpilled sees the world "as it really is" such as women have easier lives than men, jews control everything, etc. Blackpill - the despair and misery that comes with women not wanting to have sex with you, minorities gaining rights and respect Suicidepill - hating something blackpilled so much that you want to commit suicide Dogpill - the idea that women would rather have sex with dogs than incels/ugly men (usually accompanied by NSFL beastiality content) please don't open a thread with this in a title, I learned the hard way so you don't have to Rope - the act of killing yourself Ascending - having sex with a woman/getting into a relationship and not being

I am talking about slang like, 'Safe Food', 'Special Interest' and so on and so forth; I want to know where I could find one, if it exists, and/or we could make a list ourselves.

It is 2021. It is no longer taboo to talk about how some people choose to be vaccinated. No glossary could possibly encompass all the terms these good people identify as. It is simply meant to be a guide that will aid you in understanding all the different diverse colors of the rainbow we have within the Church of Covid. It is a great sin to not call someone by a term they identify as.

• Agender Vaccinated: A person without gender who does not base their gender/affiliation on the vaccine they received. An agender vaccinated individual’s body does not necessarily correspond with their lack of gender identity. Often, agender vaccinated individuals are not concerned with whether they get Moderna or Pfizer because they simply identify as generically vaccinated.
• Ally: An ally is anyone who has not been able to get the vaccine yet, but supports those who have. They all want to be vaccinated when it becomes available to them. Most allies are those who are ineligible due to their age or an underlying condition. They are allies in supporting anything that comes out of Lord Fauci's (MBUH) mouth.
• Androgynous Vaccinated: Individuals that are both male and female and have received both a Johnson & Johnson and an AstraZenica shot.
• Anti-Vaxxer: See "Trumper" or "Plague Rat"
• Avaccinated: Referred to as "Avax" for short; Avaccinated people don't get a rush from getting a vaccine, but they still get it. Avaccinated people exist across as spectrum. This term refers to people who feel varying degrees of desire towards getting the Covid-19 vaccines. Everyone who is avaccinated have gotten the vaccine, but they usually don't get that smug sense of superiority after the shot.
• Bigender/Pangender/Trigender Vaccinated: People who feel they are two, three, or all genders or flavors of vaccines. They may shift between these genders or be all of them at the same time. Sometimes they identify as an individual who received the J&J vaccine, but listen carefully to their words. They could change to a recipient of the Pfizer vaccine or a participant in the Moderna vaccine trials at any moment.
• Child-Sniffer: This refers to when Supreme Leader Biden smells the aroma of youth on those 13 years of age or younger. He loves little kids bouncing on his lap. It's appropriate and normal. It is completely different from being a pedophile. See "Pedophile"
• Cisgender Vaccinated: This refers to a person who only gets one kind of vaccine. They ar

I don't know what else to call it but NPCs in this game use odd word choices when they talk, like they'll say "anyroad" instead of "anyway." I'd like to try the dialect for rp purposes. Is there a glossary for the slang terms npcs use?

1. The nobility of Uorys Dioscas

Types: Two, High and Low. Further subdivided. In total control 5m populations. The populations are only ESTIMATES.

The HIGH nobility are, (Impelakt highest)

• 17 Juyakts, 50k population each = 850k
• 11 Eyrshakts, 100k population each = 1100k
• 5 Siorrakts, 250k population each = 1250k
• 2 Diuvakts, 500k population each = 1000k
• 1 Impelakt, 800k population = 800k

The LOW nobility are,

• Freemen (Not technically nobles, but not servants. They have no servant sigils)
• Onthoakts,
• Reanakts,
• Pailakts

All high nobility can grant low nobility to slaves or free tribesmen. They only pledge to their own High noble. Have the name of the high noble clan as a middle name, with the exception of Freemen.

But all Low noble can be Elders, Shamans, Headsmen/women, and other important posts in the clan.

Some more on Nobility:

Low nobility, can only be granted by a high nobility and are loyal to only their high noble clan lord.

• Onthoakt -> Knight/Chavellier
• Reanakt -> Baronet
• Pailakt -> Baron

High nobility, are the true lords of their land. They are only in name subjects of the Impelakt. But in their land, the Impelakts have no say. Basically take each High nobility domain as its own independent country, which are all in a tribal alliance under the loose leadership of the Impelakt.

They can grand low nobility to their subjects however they wish.

• Juyakt -> Viscount
• Eyrshakt -> Count/Earl
• Siorrakt -> Marquess/Margrave
• Diuvakt -> Duke
• Impelakt -> King/Emperor

Hi,

I'm reasonably new to DnD and this is my first time watching Critical Role; there are a few things that are confusing to me, and potentially to others too.

I have tried googling, but not knowing if these are terms used only by Critical Role (and have no other place in DnD, or are called something else), I am unsure what they mean.

1. X is up, and Y is on deck.

   My understanding is that this means that Y is going to be next to play an action, but why is this only sometimes said, and not always? I assume it is to do with preparing what their move might be, but does this have any other feature in the game other than making a player prepare (after what may have been a few minutes since the last action was taken).

2. Temporary Hit Points

   When a player (unnamed for spoilers), takes some of the damage from another player, they are given temporary hit points. Are these negative or positive?

How does absorbing some of the damage for a different player result in this player gaining health?

And it seems they have the ability to sometimes reflect this damage onto an opponent also. How does this work?

Are there any other terms that other people have come across in the streams that they don't understand, this could be a good place to describe them; unless they are described elsewhere.

Thanks.

Folks:

Lots of new eyeballs on this sub. All of the acronyms get confusing. Here is a humble attempt to collect some of the more common terms and phrases in one place. Comments/suggestions welcome. Also, when I started this I had no idea this post already existed (thanks u/Environmental_Neat53).

I'm wondering if there is a glossary somewhere with a list of terms used in downloads titles.

For instance, I see the word "PROPER" quite a bit, and I've never known what it means. Google isn't helping.

I know a lot of the others - HDTV vs Webrip vs Bluray, etc, but there are quite a few terms that I don't know. Is there a list somewhere, or at the very least can somebody explain what PROPER signifies?

LINK TO GLOSSARY

updated 12/02 - general update
updated 12/05 - terms related to Hakodate Fair update
updated 12/16 - terms related to Fairy Skill and Blessings

This is a short list of various terms used in the game and their descriptions. I'm not sure yet if a more full and complete guide is possible, but hopefully this list will be helpful. I still need to go through the game more in the future to fill in missing terms, if there's something missing feel free to inform me so I can check.

The glossary includes both terms specific to Fairy Sphere as well as general game related terms that may be used. There is also information regarding various materials, where to farm them, and the schedule of resource stages.

Hello fellow writers. I've been writing screenplays part-time for about 6 years. Not repped or produced yet, but a couple of scripts advanced at Nicholl and AFF and I was commissioned (uncredited) for a p1 rewrite of a feature that's currently in negotiations with Netflix. I was a newspaper reporter/editor for more than a decade, then worked in publishing, so fitting words into finite spaces comes reasonably naturally to me. I've also conducted corporate training on writing.

I love helping new screenwriters. I read/write notes (gratis) for as many new writer scripts as I have time for in a given month and I've been developing a series of tools to support them, especially to help with the minimal non-intuitive writing style required for a page-turner.

To give you a sense of my style and expertise, I've included an article, not yet published, lower in the post, on how to respond to notes.

Other completed tools include:

• 33-page Glossary of Terminology for Screenwriters (about 8500 words and 320+ definitions and explanations)
• A 14 page doc (5500 words) - Twelve Handy Screenwriting Tips and Remedies for Improved Writing Habits - Are your participles dangling? Lists to love.
• Several two-page worksheets to help with story outlining, character development and arc, and even one you can give to your family and friends you want input from, but may not know how to give you story notes.

I would post a link, if permitted, where all of these are available for free download,

Please let me know through your upvotes whether this type of info would be useful here. (I'm fairly new to this subreddit so still figuring out the etiquette and protocols.)

Here's the blog piece (not yet published) on how to respond to notes.

The Five Stages of Notes and Feedback

The art of dealing effectively with notes on your screenplay

Accepting notes is perhaps the most punishing part of this screenwriting journey. This is true for all of us, but especially painful to new writers. We’re artists, after all. We’re a sensitive lot. And our first instinct when we receive a note about our ‘baby’ is usually far from receptive.

It doesn’t have to be a particularly negative note for us to react defensively. We even react to suggestions for a change in formatting.

The truth is, no matter what we say we want when we share our work with others —be it for paid coverage, a competition, or for feedback from other writers— what we truly seek is over-the-to

I've been an associate for about a month now but I still find myself completely overwhelmed by the sheer number of abbreviations and terms that I'm not yet familiar with. Being a cashier, I suppose I don't really have as much exposure to everyday use of terms like top steel, throwing freight, binning, CAP etc, so I've been trying to be active on this sub, but some of the threads here are like wandering into a fucking quantum physics course. For example, "Our SM came top help BTS conversion and throw freight and kill domestics" in one of the current top threads makes almost no fucking sense to me and sounds like some kind of terrorist activity. On top of this, I'm still woefully unfamiliar with how my store actually functions in terms of who does what, what Walmart heirarchy is, what my avenues for advancement/sidevancement are, and general knowledge about how the machine is oiled.

I'm probably asking too much, but could some of you maybe just give me a brief rundown of what you do, and what the inevitable shower of abbreviations and Walmart terms you'll use to describe what you do actually means?

Or just ignore this thread or whatever v0v

Agar: Gelatin-like product used by mycologists in Petri dishes and slants to clean cultures, isolate strains and store long-term.

Please feel free to add anything else in the comments that you feel importan

I've been in the same job for 8 years and I'm now wanting to move on. The only problem is I think a lot of the terms and definitions I use come from the culture of the company I work for.

Can anyone suggest a quick book, online resource, cheat sheet, etc that gives a definition of QA terms that might come up in an interview so I can refresh my knowledge?

In this edition of Beginners Discussion, I will look at the terminology of the game- and try and explain some of the lingo involved. Because there is so much terminology I am guaranteed to forget a lot, so will be updating this as and when I find more.

For previous Beginners Discussion threads:

Head Here, for tactical discussion

Here for assembling your first team advice

and Here for discussion on team value

Baps, Bonuses, BPs- The bonus points that are given out each week in FF. The best player statistically (often not the best actual player) is awarded 3 bonus points, the second best 2, third best 1. The formulae can be found here, under scoring and the Baps are added on the Monday morning, or the morning after a midweek game.

RMT - Rate my team - the standard call of thousands of FFers before the start of the season.

GW - Gameweek - used when managers are discussing future or past gameweeks, eg. GW1 for Gameweek 1.

DGW or Double Game Week - When a teams games are rescheduled, giving them 2 games instead of the usual 1 in a GW. Chelsea and Villa open with a DGW this season.

Blank - When a team has no games in a week due to rescheduling. GW3 for Villa and Chelsea an example this season.

Sub - If one of your players misses a game, if you have a player who got minutes on the bench- he will be subbed in, costing you nothing. Note: the order in which your subs are listed is the order they will be subbed on, but only in valid FF tactics (ie if you have 3 at the back, and a defender in injured, and a forward is your first sub- he will not be subbed on, your highest ranking bench defender will)

Cameo - Every FF managers nightmare. When a player in your side is subbed on for the last few minutes of a game, earning a single point, but not allowing you to bring one of your subs on.

PPG - Points per game. - Points scored/games played.

FT - Free transfer. The game gives you a single free transfer per week, which rolls over to 2 if not used- but not three.

Hit - When you use more than your allotted free transfer per week you are subjected to a 4 point 'hit' for every additional one
