I'm a Chinese learner and following the virus closely. Would love to be able to trust translations a bit more and understand more social media posts.

I know

武汉 = Wuhan 医生 = Doctor

But what are some other words I should know. What is the virus being called in China? What is the word for quarantine and other things?

Would love to be able to make a big sticky post to help everyone understand more.

Thanks.

Which one is your favourite?

... I think we need to add the Masterson family to the list.

-------------------------

https://www.boston.com/sports/boston-red-sox/2018/08/30/what-the-heck-is-the-eck-talking-about

“PUNCHOUT’’

Ecksplanation: A strikeout. If Eckersley has ever called a strikeout anything but a punchout, I missed it.

Proper use in a sentence: “Sale has 12 punchouts on just 68 pitches.’’

“CHEESE’’

Ecksplanation: A blazing fastball.

Proper use in a sentence: “Kimbrel blew away Stanton there with the high cheese.’’ (“High’’ signifying the pitch location.) Note: Occasionally, Eckersley will be specific about the kind of cheese, calling it “cheddar.’’

“EDUCATED CHEESE’’

Ecksplanation: A well-located fastball.

Proper use in a sentence: “Man, OB, that was some educated cheese there by Price. Ninety-four miles per hour, right on the black.’’

“EASY CHEESE’’

Ecksplanation: An effortless fastball.

Proper use in a sentence: “Let me tell you, back in my day, no one had easy cheese like Gossage.’’

“GAS’’

Ecksplanation: Basically the same thing as cheese, though used more often in reference to a pitch’s velocity.

Proper use in a sentence: “Eovaldi was throwing gas from jump street.’’

“JUMP STREET’’

Definition: The beginning of a game or the start of a player’s performance in a game.

Proper use in a sentence: “From jump street tonight, Kimbrel just couldn’t find the strike zone with his slider.’’

“SALAD’’

Ecksplanation: A finesse pitcher’s repertoire, or anti-cheese.

Proper use in a sentence: “Happ was hammering the strike zone with salad all night.’’

“EDUCATED SALAD’’

Ecksplanation: A veteran finesse pitcher’s repertoire. He may not have great stuff, but he has learned to work, and often succeed, with what he has.

Proper use in a sentence: “When he was young, Colon used to throw gas, but now he’s trying to get by with educated salad.’’

“PAINT’’

Ecksplanation: A pitcher’s ability to consistently hit the edges of the strike zone. Few pitchers ever have painted like Eck himself, who in 1990 walked just four batters (one intentional) in 73⅓ innings.

Proper use in a sentence: “When Sale paints the black with his slider like that, I don’t know why the hitter even bothers stepping in the batter’s box.’’

In case anybody gives a fuck, here’s a couple of tricks that I have learned over the years to increase your deadlift:

“The Deadlift: 20% Physical and Programming, 10% Mental, 70% Technical” - Dave Tate, EliteFTS

Assistance Exercises to Improve Deadlift:

• GHD Back Extensions (posterior chain development with heavy emphasis on lower back and hamstrings to improve hip extension and core bracing throughout entire movement)
• The “Bro Pulls” aka Barbell Rows and Pull-ups (develops the grip, biceps, lats which all help maintain structural integrity and power output during the deadlift)
• Single-Leg Dumbbell Deadlifts (develops obliques, deep muscles around lower back and upper hamstrings, to increase core stabilization and balance/stability throughout the pull)
• Pulls from a Deficit (develops the ability to brace the core, and generate more power output when pulling from from the floor aka making it harder so the “real thing” is easier)
• Rack Pulls (Develops the lats, grip, Rhomboids, and traps without the CNS fatigue of pulling from the floor.. strengthens the pull from the knee to full lockout)
• Hip Thrusts (develops the glutes and hamstrings to fire and exert maximal hip Extension power output without loading the spine/ develop CNS fatigue, training maximal strength through extension of the hip)
• experiment with different grips and stances to emphasize different muscles more (ie. heels touching, with feet pointed in a “V” shape, with a snatch grip for increased trap and lat development))
• Stiff-Legged Deadlifts (hypertrophy of hamstrings, glutes, core, lats and traps for a faster, more stable pull and increased power output throughout the entire movement)
• Thoracic-Extension Mobility Exercises (poor thoracic Extension is the hidden secret of many a’failed squats and deadlifts)
• Hip and Hamstring Mobility (better positioning, more stability, better power output, better lifts)
• Ankle Mobility (see above)

Mental Cues of the Deadlift:

The key to a stronger deadlift is a combination of strength, positioning, and speed. You want to initiate the deadlift by first setting your stance. A solid and common stance for the conventional deadlift is to stand with feet hip-width apart, the bar directly over your mid-foot, and toes pointing forward. Then, you want to bend over and grab the bar with a shoulder-width grip, while bending the knees until your shins touch the bar. Now that your grip and stance is set, with the bar resting against your shins, you

Trying to decipher all the various initials and acronyms used in the sub. Is there a list?

A section of the glossary regarding specific variants of dungeon runs

What's a strat orb run? What about a raid leader advertising a raid with +1 reset or hard res [Sulfuron Ingot]?

If you're returning to vanilla after a long time, or just dipping your toes in, you might find chat a bit confusing. So, we got together and compiled a short list of commonly used terms, acronyms and abbreviations expected to be used in Classic.

It briefly explains things like variants of dungeon runs, raid organisation terminology and confusing warlock specs. We tried to avoid the most obvious like 'LFM and LFG' since these are pretty well-known already.

If you have something you'd like to add to the glossary that you think people should know about just leave a comment here or on the thread :)

I looked around and didn't see anything like this. For experienced players most of these terms are fairly common knowledge but with patches changing mechanics regularly I believe there really needs to be an easy place to look up all these terms and mechanics.

Hey all, found a website attempting to define Incan' terms like a dictionary full of potential gold. I found some of these terms useful for understanding allot of ideas, terminology, and symbols usually limited to "spirituality" as a mystery. It's fascinating to get a peek at a language and culture designed around spiritual development. I would call it the fundamental basics of human psychology.

Small example of what a language might produce when reality and "spirituality" are considered the same;

>Pachamama, Pacha Mama: (n) (1) Mother Earth, Gaia; both the physical planet and the goddess archetype. Universal feminine energy in time and space; cosmic mother.

Not much different, if at all, than Yin and Yang or similar Eastern concepts but in "plain" language.

>The Pachamama is the point where time and space meet. The past, the present and the
future are born from her and all return to her. She is the universal and eternal matrix.
The apus, the ancestors, and the various spirits are all born from her, controlled by her,
and protected by her. . . . Man, too, with his family and all his possessions . . . is born
from her, nurtured and raised by her, and finally drawn back within her when he dies.

I also like how the originator of the site is mostly following his own curiosities. He is very humble in making it clear his understandings may need refinement and he seems to have really applied himself in doing so.

This is intended for people who are brand new to Wayfarer and have experience with only 1 or 2 of Niantic's games. It focuses heavily on Ingress terms as many new reviewers come from Pokemon Go and will be unfamiliar with Ingress terms.

S2 Map Grid

The S2 Map grid is a tool used to map out the entire world in a grid. It has cells from size 1 (largest) to 30 (smallest). Each level of cell contains 4 of the next smallest cell. It is used extensively by Niantic for a variety of purposes. <https://s2.sidewalklabs.com/regioncoverer/> The two most well known (for Pokemon Go) are Level 17 (L17) & Level 14 (L14). 6, 8, 10 and possibly others are used as well.

Wayfarer

Coal Extraordinarily bad nominations.

Forbidden Terms Niantic has indicated that any candidate whose title or description references a particular game should be rejected. Keep in mind that there are times when these terms are acceptable if they are accurate descriptions of what the candidate is. Such terms include but are not limited to: Enlightened, Resistance, XM, portal, pokestop, gym, Mystic, Instinct, Valor, Wizard, trainer, agent, *-gress (bikegress, hikegress, cargress, etc), pokemon, pokemon go, any pokemon name

PRP Private Residential Property. Lots containing single-family homes. Does not include condos, apartments, etc.

LFL Little Free Library

Ingress

Operation Portal Recon (OPR) This was the old review system that became Wayfarer

Portal The single kind of game location in Ingress. All non-sponsored Pokestops, Gyms, Inns, Fortresses, Greenhouses, etc are portals. Not all portals are locations in other Niantic games.

Redacted / Prime Redacted is the name for the old version of the Ingress app which was retired September 30th, 2019. Prime is the current version, formally titled Ingress Prime.

Key / Portal Key An item used in Ingress gameplay, acquired by interacting with a portal. Each key is specific to a portal and can be used to interact with that portal remotely in various ways. Somewhat similar to Gifts in other games but cannot be sent to other players.

Scanner When used in the context of Ingress, it is the formal name of the Ingress Game/App. Otherwise typically refers to tools used to gather game data via automation from any of the Niantic games.

Intel / Intel Map The tool provided by Niantic to view the current state of the game anywhere in the world. Shows all portals. Can be viewed by anyone with any

Like I have no idea what we call the feature of having a navbar appear when you scroll down to the point where the fixed top navbar is no longer visible. There's also the arrow that appear when you scroll down to the point where the fixed top navbar is no longer visible that scrolls you back to the top when you click it, and a new page appearing on top of another upon a button click. I have no idea what these features are called, and there are many more.

>This month we are premiering a brand new bonus show that will only appear on the $8 tier centered on the (mostly discontinued) Expanded Star Wars universe! Each month Andrew, Chris, and Steve will be forced to listen to Eric read an entry from his copy of Star Wars: The Essential Guide to Characters (by Andy Mangels) and try and make heads or tails of the insane detail ascribed to all manner of background extras, droids, bounty hunters, and maybe if you're lucky, a Jedi. These will run about 20 - 30 minutes each and will be chock full of weird riffs on a galaxy far, far away.

Here's the glossary of crypto terms we passed out in printed form at the first Cypherpunks meeting in September 1992. Some compromises had to be made in going from the printed form to the ASCII of this transmission, so I hope you'll bear with me.

I'm sending it to the entire list because nearly everyone who hears about it says "Is it online?" and wants a copy. If you don't want it, discard it.

I'm not going to be maintaining the "Cypherpunks FAQ," so don't send me corrections or additions.

Major Branches of Cryptology (as we see it)

(these sections will introduce the terms in context, though complete definitions will not be given)

Encryption

privacy of messages
using ciphers and codes to protect the secrecy of messages
DES is the most common symmetric cipher (same key for encryption and decryption)
RSA is the most common asymmetric cipher (different keys for encryption and decryption)

Signatures and Authentication

proving who you are
proving you signed a document (and not someone else)

Untraceable Mail

untraceable sending and receiving of mail and messages
focus: defeating eavesdroppers and traffic analysis
DC protocol (dining cryptographers)

Cryptographic Voting

focus: ballot box anonymity
credentials for voting
issues of double voting, security, robustness, efficiency

Digital Cash

focus: privacy in transactions, purchases
unlinkable credentials
blinded notes
"digital coins" may not be possible

Crypto Anarchy

using the above to evade government, to bypass tax collection, etc.
a technological solution to the problem of too much government

Glossary

agoric systems

open, free market systems in which voluntary transactions are central.

Alice and Bob

cryptographic protocols are often made clearer by considering parties A and B, or Alice and Bob, performing some protocol. Eve the eavesdropper, Paul the prover, and Vic the verifier are other common stand-in names.

ANDOS

all or nothing disclosure of secrets.

anonymous credential

a credential which asserts some right or privilege or fact without revealing the identity of the holder. This is unlike CA driver's licenses.

asymmetric cipher

same as public key cryptosystem.

authentication

the process of verifying an identity or credential, to ensure you are who you said you were.

So, this is my first paranormal/fantasy romance series and I originally wrote a glossary of terms to go with it. This book introduces a lot of races and beings and even though I explain them all in the book when they come up, I thought I'd make a glossary so people can look back if they need to.

There are normal things like vampires, shifters, were-animals, and angels. But there are also demons (kinds and a hierarchy that I've created) that are heavily incorporated throughout this book since it's set in Hell. So my question is... do I include the glossary? and where do I put it if I do? (both ebook and paperback will be released).

I’m 17, young and I’ve only just began figuring out my sexuality and am only now exploring Gay culture. I’ve learnt a lot of phrases and terms and I’m comfortable with using them... e.g Iearnt I am something called a cub... but I still hear words which I can’t workout using context, I fear there are many slang words I do not know. Idk I just need something from you more experienced guys, I’m extremely inexperienced tbh, anything would help, thank you!

I've been listening to the Wheel of Time on and off on audible and I'm loving it (halfway through book 9). The only problem is, I can't seem to keep up with the seemingly dozens of Aes Sedai, Shaun Chen terms, and Atha-on Myeir (another downside to listening to the books is I haven't the first clue how anything is spelled). There are so many names and terms whizzing by that I can't seem to remember all of them.

My question is: is there some kind of online glossary that I can look up brief descriptions of characters and names, that is book-specific? The problem with googling anything is that I always get spoiled because everything I read is as of the last book. Do you guys have any recommendations on what I can do? Thanks!

Thank you to all the really bright minds that post on this sub. Keep fighting the good fight. With all due respect to the serious issue at hand, here’s collection of terms I’ve learned over the past few months. Enjoy your weekend. 😊

CC Glossary of Terms for Dummies…

• Man-Made Climate Change: Generally occurs following a night of drinking or Mexican food. Gaseous venting is common and may lead to localized atmospheric disturbances.

So I started playing the game last week and loving it, and ive put SW (played it on and off for 4 years) on the back burner. If you was like me moving over and a bit lost I hope my "Translation" helps you.

Karat = Crystals

Gold = Mana

PVP Token = Arena Wings

Valor = Energy

Elements = All elements are the same, except Wind wich is Forest in HoL

Honor Points = Glory Points

Rare Summoning Stones = Unknown Scrolls

Epic Summoning Stones = Mystery Scrolls

Special Summon Stones = Exclusive Summons

Skill Burn = Devilmon

Twilight Summoning Stones = Light Dark Scrolls

Transcendant Stone = Transcendant Scrolls (Summons Nat 5)

Servent Summon Shards = Summoning Monster Peices

Tiles = This is like scenario regions in SW, except Times 5. Each coloured section represents a element (fire, water, forest, Light, Dark). Each tile in that section has a chance to drop different types of gear and gets progressively harder. The higher level the higher level the xp and gear. Like how Faimon Drops Revenge runes, and has Normal, Hard and Hell.

Omens void = This is GB10

Heides Void = This is DB10

Element dungeons = This is the pretty obvious by colour.

Invasion = Is like dimensional Rifts, they appear randomly and give you honor points and Karats

World Raid = World Boss

Infinate PvP (iPVP) = Basically its arena, that you can farm continuously. So you can Grind out Honor Points, you dont know who your opponents are. So you need a Strong team to beat most of the competition

PVP = Arena

Tower Invasion = Like PvP Tower of Acension

Abaddon - Tower of Acension (ToA)

Mystery dungeon = Secret dungeon

Beast Runes = Fatal Runes

Iron Runes = Guard Runes

Eruption Runes = Swift Runes

Blade runes = Same

Havoc Runes = Rage Runes

Skill Runes = Focus Runes

Petrify Runes = Not directly the same, but the closest would be Despair runes.

Resistance runes = Endure runes

Vampyre Runes = Vampire runes

Wind Runes = Like violent runes, but Since there a no turns in HoL, this boost Atk Guage by upto 70%

Chain Runes = No SW Equavalent, But a chance to use activate a Secodary Mark

Conversion stones = Reappraisal Stones.

**Othe

According to my personal experience:

(1) The guy who watches a ton of TS porn. This guy often likes TS Seduction videos with dominant girls who take viagra and likely have a 5-o'clock shadow. He wants a girl to top him, and he doesn't understand that most girls aren't into that. What's worse, he wants her to be his dirty little secret. He comes off as super-hetero, but he really just wants to go down on a big she-cock. Obviously this guy is a total mess, and even if a girl is into him, she has to worry that something will out him as being with a trans girl and he'll have to murder her to hide his shame.

(2) The guy who is drawn to trans girls but is still pretty normal and top-ish. He's probably obsessed with buttsex, and there's nothing wrong with that. But this guy also tends to have some issues with women. He's always horny, and he's frustrated that girls want him to put in some effort. He has no game, and he's not trying to get better at life. He just wishes girls were horny like him. And, he thinks chicks with dicks are probably horny all the time, so there ya go — guaranteed buttsex with a guaranteed horny girl! The problem is that this guy can be off-putting, and chances are he's got issues with actually dating a trans girl, because if he wasn't afraid of people seeing him with a trans girl then that would mean he was a confident guy who got plenty of girls and would be less likely to be a quirky trans-chaser. Like guy #1, he may tend towards treating girls like prostitutes.

(3) The bisexual guy. A trans girl will often think she wants a bisexual guy. That way she can be a girly girl and not feel self-conscious about her body. The problem is that bi guys are scarce in nature, and if you do find one he's probably a pain in the ass. The trans girl will quickly realize that the bi guy is a diva, and he might be too pretty for her.

(4) The chill hedonist. He's basically a straight guy, but he's not hung up on labels. He's kinda kinky. Maybe he wants to explore playing around with a trans girl. Maybe he just met a trans girl that he thought was cool and it had never even occurred to him to fool around with one before. This guy is comfortable to be around. The only downside is that he has four children (that he knows of) from two marriages, and he is currently living in a polyamorous relationship with a 30-year-old, an 18-year-old he picked up a few months ago, the 18-year-old's crazy mom, and sometimes a femme latino boy. This man is too evolved for

In case anybody gives a fuck, here’s a couple of tricks that I have learned over the years to increase your technique, efficiency, and numbers in the Olympic Lifts:

Assistance Exercises to Improve Olympic Lifts:

• Pulls From a Deficit (develops the ability to brace the core, and generate more power output when pulling from from the floor aka making it harder so the “real thing” is easier)
• Pulls From the Blocks (Develops the lats, grip, Rhomboids, and traps without the CNS fatigue of pulling from the floor.. strengthens the transition from first-second pull, and the complete second pull)
• Pulls From the Hang Position (Develops the ability to generate inertia through the second pull without the momentum transfer from the first pull/from the floor.. strengthens the transition between the first and second pull without the CNS fatigue of pulling from the floor)
• Pendlay Rows (develops the grip, biceps, lats, and core strength, which all help increase the strength in all three pulls, also improves technique and positioning, the ability to “keep the bar close”)
• Overhead Squats (mimics the bottom of a Snatch, develops ability to sit in the bottom after receiving the bar, improve core strength and stability in the bottom of a snatch, and increase power output for when driving from bottom to full lockout)
• Front Squats (mimics the bottoms of a Clean, develops quad and core strength, and increase power output for when driving from bottom to full lockout)
• Jerks from the Blocks (develops proficiency-through-practice of the jerk, without having to clean from the floor, can also drop the bar from lockout back onto the blocks without doing a “negative”, which unnecessarily fatigues the shoulders)
• Barbell Overhead Press (develops the anterior and medial delts, triceps, and grip for maximal power output and lockout strength in the jerk by training a similar but much weaker movement/ form of press).
• experiment with different grips and stances to emphasize different muscles more (ie. heels touching, with feet pointed in a “V” shape, with a snatch grip for increased trap and lat development)
• Core Strength exercises.. eg. GHD back extensions, Planks, Oblique Exercises (a weak core is the cause of many a’failed Overhead Presses, aside from inability to retract the scapulas correct, as well as chest/lat mobility)
• Scapular-Retraction exercises (Eg. Slow-Tempo Rear-Delt Flies with a resistance band, Face Pulls, and Crossover Symmetry - Develops scapular healt
