A list of puns related to "Glossary of comics terminology"
This is by no mean comprehensive, but there is so much language that is exclusive to the cult, I felt like I spent half my therapy sessions explaining terms, so I wrote up this little glossary of terms.
I tried to avoid too much dogmatic stuff, since I don’t think all of that is as relevant to a non-witness as the weird organization stuff. It’s roughly organized in categories, and I tried to sort it so it would make sense to someone who doesn’t have a JW background.
Feel free to mention ones I’ve forgot and I’ll add them.
Glossary of (some) JW Terminology:
Regular words that mean different things to JW’s:
Jehovah - anglicized name of the Abrahamic “God” YHWH.
JW - Abbreviation for Jehovah’s Witnesses
The Organization - An internal term used for the religious institution of JW’s (Similar in usage to “The Church” for Catholicism).
The Org - abbreviation for the Organization
The Society - another internal term used for the religious institution of JW’s i.e. “the organization.” Mostly used in the 1950-1990’s, this expression has been phased out internally in the group.
The Truth - catchall phrase for the Organization, its teachings and beliefs. JW’s almost exclusively refer to their faith system as “the truth” (eg. We’ll be here when you decide to come back to the Truth).
Kingdom Hall - place of worship for JW’s (eg Church, Mosque)
KH - Abbreviation for Kingdom Hall
The Friends - a colloquial term used by JW’s to refer to other JW’s.
Brothers and Sisters - how JW’s refer to themselves internally, both collectively and singularly. Individual JW’s are referred to as Brother or Sister <insert last name> (eg: Brother Smith or Sister Doe). As a phrase “Brothers and Sisters” is often used to address a group of JW’s (in the style if “Ladies and Gentleman”)
The World - everything that is not part of the JW organization.
Worldly/Worldly people - all non JW’s. JW’s are not permitted to form relationships or close associations with “worldly” people.
Service - Catchall term for JW ministry work. This includes knocking on doors, sitting with JW kiosks and carts, letter writing and cold calling on the phone. Active witnesses are required to participate and report their time spent in “service” at the end of every month. Also called “Field Service, “Field Ministry,” or “street work.”
Baptism/Baptized - The term for “dedicating” yourself to Jehovah, symbolized by bein

I have been working on a glossary for T⊘P’s Dema lore as a reference for those who are trying to learn about it... and also to help myself wrap my head around some things too. I thought this would be a great place to get feedback and/or more information. Are there terms you guys would add to it? Did I get something wrong or miss an important theory? Do you have another source I should look at? Do you hate it and want me to think about what I've done? Let me know!
Thanks! Stay alive friends ||-//
A glossary in progress for Twenty One Pilots’s Dema Lore
**DISCLAIMER**: Some of the information compiled here is fan theory/speculation to fill gaps in the story that have not yet been revealed. Anything that is theory or speculation, even if we are 99.99% sure it’s true, will be shown in italics. It’s also important to note that Tyler Joseph intentionally writes his narrative vaguely so that you can fill in the blanks yourself to reflect your own story.
**SPOILERS**: As this is a glossary of terms, it contains spoilers about the Dema narrative.
BISHOPS- Preachers of the religion, Vialism, and overlords of Dema. There are 9 Bishops and each represents a different aspect of depression. Each citizen of Dema is assigned a specific Bishop to serve and they do so in part by completing menial, repetitive tasks. Bishops are a metaphor for the different reasons we might be depressed.
ANDRE- One of the nine Bishops. Andre’s theme is speculated to represent not wanting to change for the better or letting go of the past. Andre’s name comes from the lyric “tomorrow i'll keep a beat, AND REpeat yesterday's dance” in the song “Fairly Local” on the “Blurryface” album.
KEONS- One of the nine Bishops. Keons’s theme is speculated to represent not being able to break the cycle of depression. KEON’s name comes from the lyric “choKE ON Smoke” in the song “Heavy Dirty Soul” on the “Blurryface” album. Keons is Clancy ’s Bishop.
LISDEN- One of the nine Bishops. Lisden’s theme is speculated to represent not being able to separate your good parts from your bad parts. He was featured in the 2021 TOP One Night Only Livestream event as a "TV Host" in Dema that interacted with Tyler. LISDON’s name comes from the lyric “all i feeL IS DENial” in the song “Polarize” on the “Blurryface” album.

But instead of calling them out (wasn't the place), I was instead inspired to just make a short glossary of important Catan terms we should all be familiar with, as a gentle and friendly reminder.
A few weeks ago I posted a Guide: "SNEAKER TERMS YOU NEED TO KNOW WHEN GETTING INTO REPS WORLD" on Reddit; but I realized that there are so many other sneaker sayings out there that can seem extremely confusing.
All of the terms you'll find here are Nike-related, but I'm more than open to the possibility of adding more, so go ahead and comment below!
Before we get started, I'll tell you the truth, I have a terrible memory, so a long time ago I created this list more for myself. But, if you too struggle with remembering things, or are new to this world, sit back, take 5 minutes of your time, and save this glossary, because you will definitely need it!
ACG - All Conditions Gear= ACG is an outdoor-specific collection produced by Nike that focuses on sports such as mountaineering, hiking, and long-distance walking. The ACG collection is best known for incorporating materials that adapt to various weather conditions and for its wild colors mixed with earthy tones.
CW – Colorway= The shoe’s Nickname or box-listed colors
FSR- Full-Size Run= This means that a full range of sizes is available for a particular sneaker.
GS/PS/TD/BC - Grade School/Preschool/Toddler/Baby Crib= Shoe sizes are manufactured for infants and toddlers.
GR - General Release= A shoe that is made available by most sneaker retailers, it is not an ultra-limited model and can be obtained with relative ease.
HS - Hyperstrike= When you see a shoe with this label, it means that it is an exclusive model, available in limited quantities and dedicated to a select few (like celebrities).
HTM= This label comes from the names of Hiroshi Fujiwara, Tinker Hatfield, and Mark Parker, designers who became legends thanks to their unique style and who have been working together since 2002. If you find shoes with this name, now you know that they are the result of the creativity of these three geniuses.
**LE - Limited Edition =**This label indicates a shoe produced in a limited quantity.
LS - Lifestyle= Shoes that are intended for casual wear.
NRG - Energy = Nike's NRG teams deal with collaborations, limited-edition releases, special editions, college PEs and unique sneakers. Shoes labeled this way are hyped up, so hard to get and very expensive.
NSW - Nike Sportswear = When a new product is released that echoes the style of an old classic, then that shoe wi

Unshortable – Something that makes money, we don’t use this to often at the moment, but when we played stuff like CRSR or RKT, BGFV...these were shorted, they actually make sense funadamentally
Runner- Something with an ample business plan, a trajectory to be profitable within 52 weeks or insane growth AHPI, EZGO, ARLO
Grenade – No real value, this ticker is parabolic and no fundamentals, DD, merger, or whatever you want to say can not justify the current stock’s action, proceed with caution, handle with care, I do not recommend holding overnight, you can just as well get your 25 cents to 1 dollar tomorrow opening a new position if its hot! Man tons!!!!
Hot Potatoe - A stock with a pe but very high like 60x or more, maybe the stock is 100 dollars but makes 50 cents a year

Orbit – The stock is up 30% +
Mars - 50% +
Pluto - 100%+
Astronauts – If you made 3+ rounds Buy/Sell a stock that is mooning
Lettuce Hands – 1 minute trades [Not everything can be paper hands... maybe 10% is paper and anything above 10% gain on 1 trade is Diamond?]
Offensive Stock – Examples we are trading TIGR, PUBM, CPNG, CRSR– High growth, tech, high PE or no earnings, or very low earnings, many times goes with the Index
Neutral Stock – Examples we are trading RAD, DNB, PBI, NLS – Have a business make some money, not a lot, but some, and when the market is down sometimes these may be up a little
Defensive Stock – Examples we are trading SCVL, BKE, CONN, AXL, NEXA, ZEUS – Pe ratios under 20, some under 10 and the ones I am trading beat the last 2 quarters!!!
Super Defensive Stock – These are companies that pay you 8% or more to HODL, or banks with low PE ratios, beat earnings and pay you 3% up, AFIN, BRMK, PSEC, NYMT
It is important that glossary as I talk about the ideas and what we can do. Naturally as we have been very successful throwing and dodging grenades more and more subs have come. The allure of course of getting rich quickly
I'm about to start teaching a small elective at the high school I work at about solving crosswords.
I'm starting them off with a few minis I made to get used to various clue types.
But I was wondering if anyone knows of a comprehensive glossary or something of question types, as well as crossword-specific jargon (e.g. green paint)?
Thanks!
Hi guys,
I hope everyone is doing well, I am fairly new to day trading and have been watching a lot of videos and getting stuck in with a paper trading account for the past few weeks. I noticed in here and on YouTube videos that a lot of people use words relating to trading and finance that I didn't understand. So I decided to write the words down every time a new one came up.
I spent my weekend writing out the definitions of these words and it has helped me enormously, my way of learning involves doing and writing - therefore I thought it would be a good idea to actually put a type of glossary booklet together of common terms and words people use and share it in this subreddit to help us newbies out!
Some of you may think "Well I can just search things I don't understand so this is useless", of course this is probably the case for a lot of people, but like I said I learn best by doing and writing, and some people may learn best by just reading, if your that kind of person then you won't have to rummage around Investopedia etc. because a lot of the words will be here (granted not all, but a fair few).
I won't lie, it may seem a bit wordy so I've tried to incorporate some color and sexiness to it, but at the end of the day, it's a glossary hahaha - if anyone has any suggestions to make it more fancy let me know and I will see what I can do!
I am also going to be putting together a chart pattern booklet with definitions of different patterns and a correlating images. Let me know if this is something you'd like because I think it would be useful to have all of this information for us in one place, as opposed to having to scourer the internet endlessly trying to find gold nuggets in a pile of s***.
Anyway there's a link to the glossary below - I imagine you veterans will be able offer more phrases and words to add that are useful (which would be greatly appreciated) so please don't hesitate to get involved!
Enjoy :)

EDIT: For some reason there’s lots of comments that I get notified about but can’t see? If you’ve made a suggestion or asked a question please message me!
This post is great place for the beginner vaper.
Made this for fun. Feel free to comment down any terms that I'm missing!
Hey all!
I've been playing the game for a few months and I've poked my head into the subreddit a few times to look into some unit reviews, mission strategies, etc whatever I wasn't sure about how i could tackle something.
And while I was about to figure out some terms through context of the post there are some that are used frequently that I haven't been able to (figure out). Is there a community glossary for common terms/abbreviations used within the subreddit/community that could give the long and short of what that particular phrase/term/abbreviation might mean? I've tried searching for one but wasn't sure if I just overlooked it or if there just isn't one
Thank you for any/all help
Community Terminology
Area of Effect(AoE): An effect that deals damage to multiple targets. Most only target the enemy followers but a few hit both sides of the board.
BM: Bad manners. Used when opponents aggressively spam emotes or purposely miss Lethal.
Board Clear: Refers to any effect which removes multiple followers usually through a form of AoE.
Bounce: Returning a follower or amulet to a player’s hand from the board. Forestcraft has the most bounce effects.
Burn: Damage dealt to a leader from a spell or effect, often recurring.
Curve/“Playing on curve": In the context of deck building, your curve refers to the amount of cards you have at each play point cost. In a match, playing on curve refers to playing a card equal to the amount of play points you have. For example, playing a 2 cost follower on turn two, then playing a 3 cost follower on turn 3.
Dirt: Common name for Earth Rite(ER)
Divine Shield: One time damage mitigation. Referred in-game as “the next time this follower takes damage, reduce that damage to 0.” Divine Shield is lost after one instance of damage, even if the attack was performed by a follower with 0 attack. Bane still destroys followers with this effect. Effects that destroy a follower or reduce a followers defense both ignore the damage reduction.Indicated by a light blue circle over the follower.
Face: Common name for the enemy leader. To go face would just refer to attacking the enemy leader.
GM: Grandmaster, the highest rank in the game.
Hard Removal: A spell or effect that destroys an enemy follower regardless of their defense.
JCG: Japanese Shadowverse tournament. Many community members take decks off of players who made top 16.
Lethal: Term referring to having enough damage on board or in hand to defeat the enemy leader. Perfect lethal refers to having the exact damage necessary. Lethal puzzles are situations were lethal is possible but not easily seen.
Mill: Drawing so many cards that some get discarded. A hand can only hold 9 cards and any cards drawn after that are discarded and considered milled. Drawing all the cards in your deck is an automatic loss meaning a Mill deck is possible if you make your opponent draw all their cards. Spartacus Sword is an archetype in Unlimited which puts a Victory card at the bottom of your deck meaning they win if they make themselves deck out.
Mulligan: At the beginning of a match you draw

^(Foreword:)
^(I will do my best to add to and update this post over time. Bear with me! This is way more work than you think lol...) ^(J)^(ust) ^(to be clear "Apex Fundamentalists" is the name of our discord group.) ^(The terms created here are to help us understand certain situations when talking about the game. For those that have been keeping up with our) ^(Videos) ^(or) ^(Guides)^(, this glossary will help them to understand what we might mean when we say "Look for the Punish!".) ^(For example you may understand that there is no real need to state the "type of Punish" during the match,) ^(but being aware of this concept could help one evaluate one's decisions during or after the game.)
This should make watching our videos or reading our guides much easier to understand… Because we’re losing our minds too.
A playlist will be provided for most of the terminology used here and possible all in the distant future. Please be patient :)
Active Cover - Using cover to consciously conceal yourself from the enemies fire. This can be done via peek shooting or head glitching.
AUD (Avoiding Unnecessary Damage) - Avoiding incoming damage you can easily predict by taking cover. Getting tagged or nicked is considered acceptable, however receiving multiple shots without attempting is considered “Receiving Unnecessary Damage”. Being able to identify moments where AUD is not the best option is a trait that will come with experience. This typically happens when time is of the essence.
Augmented Calls - Descriptive versions of the basic calls being used within the game.
Battle Fire - This is when you attempt to shoot at an enemy who is actively using cover themselves. The Contrast of this type of fire is called Punishing.
Calls - Basic communicative terms established before or within the game. [*Fun video to watc
... keep reading on reddit ➡Lately, I've been involved with more early-stage startups and first-time founders. I find that the industry has been plagued with many concepts without most people taking the time to fully understand the underlying philosophy behind each of these concepts.
I thought that maybe it would be nice to share a few definitions, and what they really mean. Feel free to add yours.
Startup: A corporation created for the purpose of finding a scalable business model.
You are not a startup if you are growing fast through a proven value proposition (you are a scale-up, and soon to be a regular business).
You are not a startup if you are a design consultancy unless you can scale without adding human resources at a proportional rate.
A startup is not a culture, nor is it an "early-stage company". The word finds his true meaning within the scope of a business created for the sole purpose of finding a scalable business model (and thus, validate a market hypothesis). That's why many startup pivots.
MVP (Minimum Viable Product): A data-driven approach to testing a market hypothesis as fast as possible.
You are building an MVP for the sole purpose of proving to yourself, and potential investors, that there is indeed a market for your product. If your code is good enough to allow you to scale with it, it's most probably not an MVP. If your code is good enough to handle all kinds of usage or behaviors (edge-cases) it's probably not an MVP.
An MVP is a radical approach that trades long-term efficiency (scalability) for short-term results (data). It's focused around a very specific use-case/need and tries to prove that people need this enough that they will either pay for it or forgive many missing parts of a more complete / fully-featured solution.
Needless to say, an MVP should be released with sufficient tracking technologies in order to in/validate things with accuracy and do the necessary changes.
Agile: An iterative methodology favoring single-feature implementation over feature set deliveries
Being an Agile team is not about being reactive and adaptable. Any good team is.
It's about having a strict working process which favors short iterations and fast code-to-market development cycles. It's a real engineering process and one cannot just decide that his team is agile because he deems so nor because they share the values of the Agile Manifesto nor so they can avoid documenting their code in favor of speed.
As
... keep reading on reddit ➡So a lot of people tend to use terms from Amino, Youtube, Tumblr Tiktok and Wattpad etc. I'm not saying it's not good, but some of these terms are fairly outdated and in some aspects miss the mark of what is really happening. This isn't a F.A.Q as that would be neverending, but this might establish a new understanding of Reality Shifting.
UPG.
>This is incredibly important as most people often go off their own experiences. We haven't totally reached a state of disputing and verifying as a community and that's okay. There will always be UPGs even if this was not the case. That's why you should at least know what this is.
>
>A UPG is an 'Unverified Personal Gnosis' meaning it's a personal belief that one person believes as true- though it doesn't exist in any accepted verification. You may look into it, but I feel this blog summarizes it best.
Reality Shifting - Complete Relocation of one's primary awareness to a different Waking World or Reality, you must be perfectly aware in every sense and persisting for more than a moment for it to meet the standard of a reality shift. No half-shiftings. Only when you were successful and anchored to that reality for a hours to years can it be called a reality shift.
Astral Travel - Also known as Mental Travel or Bilocation; This is NOT Astral Projection. It is the partial or splitting of your primary awareness into two separate consciousness', allowing one to be aware of the primary Waking World or Reality and another of choice. This is purely your mind, however, you travel in a mental body for a short/temporary amount of time. This is different from an astral body, this is the 'body' you inhabit during dream
... keep reading on reddit ➡Does anyone have know where I can find a glossary of accounting terms used in SEC filings?
I'm working through Penman's Financial Statement Analysis right now which is a great book but is heavy on the accounting aspect of valuation. Which I love but I'm running into some trouble because I dont know all of the terms used in the Sec filings.
For instance in the statement of shareholders equity I need to identify specific flows in order to reformat the statement. But because there are so many different terms its hard for me to accurately identify what I need.
For instances: in nike statement they have a specific line for share issuance to employees.
Whereas P&G does not but they have employee stock plans and esop debt impact listed in their equity statement.
Are either of these equivalent to share issuance. And back to my original question where can I find a break down of commonly used terms in Sec filings so I can continue my studies?
Thanks!
I'd like to start getting more in depth with my music theory training in advance, but it's frustrating when I have to manually categorize everything myself.
Note: it should be not just general (payload, spoofing etc) most used terms but a more detailed and comprehensive
