Glossary of landforms Puns

Hi,

Sorry from the beginning if this is considered off-topic.

I've tried to read LotR twice, and failed because my English wasn't strong enough. But that was when I was 15~16. I've had enough experience to understand, or at least quick search words in dictionary, to get me through classic stuff. Mind you though, I've tried Jane Austen recently, and failed miserably. So, by no means I'm good enough. But I've really started to like LotR and really want to finish it properly, without glossing over descriptive parts. And I could create a clear picture in my mind of the surrounding from the beautifully elaborate descriptions, at least until Frodo came to Mordor, and also I didn't understand Helm's Deep's structure and had to consult maps to create a mental picture. Guess I have little to no idea about mountain structures.

Also, some of the words used are archaic, which I'm not complaining about, I know it's old. But come on, draught is used both as air-flow, and as drinks. I also don't understand cliff,gorge,gully,cleft,ravine etc. properly. Do I need to do some research on rock formations and mountain areas? Can anyone help me?

PS: By the way, I have no idea what the hell Minas Morgul is supposed to look like. In the movies it's shown to have green radiant light, but from the book I got faint silver light. I also didn't understand if it was a whole city, or just a tower, or a watch-tower, or a war-base.

We get questions in this sub every day about what various terms we use a lot, so let's start a glossary! I'll alphabetize update this later after people submit stuff.

• Trashley- Trashy Ashley (look at anything on her instagram page and you will know why)

• Smashley- Smash Ashley (she got so angry she threw a fire extinguisher through the window)

• Bring me my red bag with my MAKEUP (usually used to express sudden rage; Anfisa screamed this at Jorge)

• Bitch ass slut ass whore (highly derogatory; Chantel screamed this at sister Pedro)

• GOOD NIGHT (a way of shutting down a conversation/a mic drop moment; Chantel says this to sister Pedro)

• Don't terrorize me with your ____ (Basically means stop complaining about important things you whiny bitch; Andre says this to Libby about the baby)

• Danulment (How Danielle says annulment)

• Jes (An evil yes... think Mr. Burns going muwahahaha. Said by various members of Family Pedro)

• I'M DONE! (When you're over punk ass bitches and you just need a drink. Said by Mother Debbie to Larissa)

I love to write and talk about music but I feel like a lot of the time I'm limited by my vocabulary and end up describing lots of things using the same words. Is there such thing as a glossary or master list of words relating to and describing music? Do any of you have your own master list for this kind of thing?

###A collecion of OwOs and their uses:

OwO : Standard use, for noticing bulges

owo : When the bulge isn't as big

uwu : When you're not impressed by the bulge or there isn't one

ÒwÓ : Mischievous OwO, for when you're feeling devious

□w□ : The OwO for people who wear glasses

●w● : The OwO if you're wearing sunglasses

Owo : For feeling confused of the bulge

♡w♡ : The legendary OwO, used for bulges so large that you get heart eyes from it. Do not use this emote lightly, for the power of it is great

Well,we all wait for dlc,and be calm,i still add new names and descritions in my glossary,hope anybody loves it

Be Sorrowful!

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.’’

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.

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

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

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
