A list of puns related to "Glossary of tennis terms"
I think this could be helpful for freshmen or others new to campus. Not really sure how to go about this, so feel free to offer suggestions on how to do it and what to include!
Automated Market Maker (AMM) - A type of exchange that uses a constant function (a specific type of mathematical equation) to allow for trading to occur without the use of an order book. The concept has existed for some time but the idea was popularized by Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin and implemented in a variety of crypto platforms such as UniSwap and PancakeSwap.
Besloten Vennootschap (BV) - A Netherlands business structure similar to a US limited liability company (LLC). Bonfire BV uses this corporate structure.
Binance Smart Chain (BSC) - A blockchain developed by Binance that includes compatibility for smart contracts and Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). It is important to not that BSC is a separate blockchain from Binance Chain with unique functionality. You can read more about BSC here.
Block - A grouping of transactions on the blockchain that are processed at one time. Blocks are numbered in the order they are processed, which allows them to act as a permanent time-based store of records.
Blockchain - The system on which blocks are processed and the full decentralized ledger of all previous blocks that have been processed and recorded. The technologies vary across coins, and some technologies are not technically blockchains, but the overarching concept is generally the same.
Burn - A form of tokenomics that removes currency from the circulating supply. Burns can be manual or automated within the currency contract. They can also be temporary, but usually are permanent.
Coin - A cryptocurrency that operates on its own native blockchain (or comparable system) developed specifically for it. Examples include Bitcoin, Ethereum, Binance Coin, Dogecoin, and Litecoin, among many others.
Contract - The code of a coin or token that defines its actions and properties. Smart contracts facilitate run many of the tokens on the market today and they also provide opportunities for near-limitless innovation for implementation beyond coins and tokens.
Dead Wallets - Wallets that are not owned or accessible by anybody. Often used by developers to transparently conduct tokenomic transactions and reduce FUD.
Decentralized Applications (DApps) - Applications that run on a blockchain or similar network and exist and operate outside of the oversight of a central authority.
Decentralized Finance (DeFi) - A platf

FUD-Fear Uncertainty Doubt
Dip/Buy the dip- purchase more when prices fall or dip down, the low point between price waves, that stuff people eat with chips?
Capital Gains-investment profits, tendies
TA- technical analysis
Doge- the awesome crypto, Do Only Good Everyday
Paper hands- derogatory term applied to those whom sell. Too judgmental IMO
IMO- in my opinion
Tendies- profits, capital gains
NFT- non fungible token
To the moon- enthusiasm for skyrocket prices
Echo chamber- reinforced and amplified beliefs
Diamond hands- long term holdings, or keeping investments in a volatile environment
HODL- hold on for dear life, hold, do not sell! hodl
Platform shaming- the act of sowing FUD against any investment service
Investopedia- site for investing terms and information
RH- Robinhood
Crypto mining- use of computers to perform work in effort to earn crypto
Diversified/ diversified portfolio- multiple various investments/ more than one holding
This is the way/ the way/ da wae- agreement, confirming, praise, reinforcing a concept or statement, adding emphasis
Karma farming/ karma whoring- posts or comments designed to accumulate upvotes example: βupvote this if...β βinteract with this to...β βwho is still HODL-ing?β
Open to suggestions and other terms, will edit to add more if there is interest
Unsolicited advice: Don't post screenshots of your holdings or share personal financial numbers on the internet. It might be tempting to share or brag, however, you never really know who is watching; IRS? Government? Hackers? People that know you IRL in real life?
Only invest what you can afford to lose. Like not your rent/college/savings buffer money. Look at your investments like you are spending money instead of investing for profits.
So, I hover around 5-7 million GSP with my main and can't really play anyone else well. I'm convinced I only get so far due to people not knowing the Robin matchup. With that said, I want to get better, but without knowing what the terms are, I can't actually practice them or even Google them. I'll hear about wavedashing or attack canceling or b reversing or whatever the thing is and I'll think, "Cool, something I can learn about." (Still only really know what b reverses are and I can't do them successfully yet.)
Problem is, I can't search what I don't know. With that said, where can I go to learn every possible smash term, so that I can proceed to learn what they are and eventually practice them? Is there a database of all the things? A video that covers it all? An obscure thread where someone else who was just as bad as I am asked this same question?
TL;DR: Can't practice what I don't know exists, how do I learn of every smash term that exists?
hi folks! i'm looking for a reeeally good lil glossary of trans-related terms, including all the cool nonbinary stuff, 101 gender stuff, etc. i'm considering this new counselor for eating disorder stuff and she seems mostly cool and willing to learn, but she's pretty behind on gender terminology (yikes). i plan to ask her if she's willing to do some reading before i book an appointment with her...so any suggestions? specific links? i've done some googling but i keep finding all these glossaries put together by large, cis-run organizations (pflag, for instance) and i'd prefer something from within the community. anyhoo, thank you!
Hope it helps. Share with anyone who needs the link: https://slaavirtual.org/language/
Hi,
A few days ago I found an online glossary that broke down the various types of voiceover used in broadcast news segments.
Like the industry terms for when the reporter is voicing over a recorded segment but off-camera and on-camera reportage.
As I've lost the link, would anybody be able to point me in the direction of such a resource?
I started with choice of rebels and I get that there is world building and stuff but it's really hard to keep up with all the words. Its weird reading to xthanos damn it instead of God damnit. In all it just complicates the whole thing. Plus it's annoying checking every single meaning of word.
You are mostly going to hear these terms and when you don't know them you can't take necessary actions. Below are some terms, get familiar with them and enjoy your day. The market will bounce back so don't panic.
Resistance:
A price level where advances in price are anticipated to stall/reverse. Previous swing highs/lows, trendlines, Keltner channels, Bollinger Bands, Fibonacci retracements, and high-volumeΒ VPOCΒ nodes can all act as key resistance levels.
Support:
A price level where declines in price are anticipated to stall/reverse. Previous swing highs/lows, trendlines, Keltner channels, Bollinger Bands, Fibonacci retracements, and high-volumeΒ VPOCΒ nodes can all act as key support levels.
Average Directional Index (ADX):
Calculates the strength of a market trend over X-number of price bars. Typically used with theΒ DMIΒ to enhance accuracy. ADX (14) readings below ten often precede consolidation zone breakouts. Readings above 60 are unsustainable and warn of impending trend exhaustion.
Average True Range (ATR):
Used to ID volatility breakout trading signals and confirm trend exhaustion. Often used to create automatically-adjusting trailing stops. Breakout price bar ranges that are 2-3 times greater than the ATR (14) often initiate powerful market trends.
Bollinger Bands:
Standard deviation envelopes that determine overbought/oversold extremes in trendless markets. BBβs are highly useful for breakout traders and for identification of price/momentum divergences. The βBollinger Band Squeezeβ price pattern helps confirm a marketβs rapid transition from an ultra-low to high volatility range.
Breakout:
A term used to describe a powerful price move out of a well-defined consolidation zone or chart pattern. Confirmed violations of trendlines or key support/resistance levels are also considered breakouts.
Commodity Channel Index (CCI):
This oscillator identifies overbought/oversold extremes in trendless markets and also helps identify βpullbackβ trade entry zones in trending markets. CCI is also a highly sensitive price/momentum divergence indicator. Produces many varieties of short-term trading signals.
Consolidation:
A trading range marked by well-defined, low-volatility price swings. Occurs as a βpauseβ pattern in a strong trend and can also occur at market tops and bottoms. Chart patterns such as pennants, wedges, and rectangles all depict consolidations. The longer the consolidation time period, the more powerful the eventual breakout ma

The securities industry has its own jargon, laws and practices that may require explaining. Most of these concepts are the creation of the industry, and, while they are promoted as practices that ensure an orderly market, they are also exploited as manipulative tools. This glossary is limited to naked short abuse, or counterfeiting stock as it is more correctly referred to.
I thought it would be really cool to have an ultimate guide for those new to crypto currencies and the terms used. I made this mostly for beginnerβs and veterans alike. Iβm not sure how much use you will get out of this. Stuff gets lost on Reddit quite easily so I hope this finds its way to you. Included in this list, I have included most of the terms used in crypto-communities. I have compiled this list from a multitude of sources. The list is in alphabetical order and may include some words/terms not exclusive to the crypto world but may be helpful regardless.
2FA
Two factor authentication. I highly advise that you use it.
51% Attack:
A situation where a single malicious individual or group gains control of more than half of a cryptocurrency networkβs computing power. Theoretically, it could allow perpetrators to manipulate the system and spend the same coin multiple times, stop other users from completing blocks and make conflicting transactions to a chain that could harm the network.
Address (or Addy):
A unique string of numbers and letters (both upper and lower case) used to send, receive or store cryptocurrency on the network. It is also the public key in a pair of keys needed to sign a digital transaction. Addresses can be shared publicly as a text or in the form of a scannable QR code. They differ between cryptocurrencies. You canβt send Bitcoin to an Ethereum address, for example.
Altcoin (alternative coin): Any digital currency other than Bitcoin. These other currencies are alternatives to Bitcoin regarding features and functionalities (e.g. faster confirmation time, lower price, improved mining algorithm, higher total coin supply). There are hundreds of altcoins, including Ether, Ripple, Litecoin and many many others.
AIRDROP:
An event where the investors/participants are able to receive free tokens or coins into their digital wallet.
AML: Defines Anti-Money Laundering laws**.**
ARBITRAGE:
Getting risk-free profits by trading (simultaneous buying and selling of the cryptocurrency) on two different exchanges which have different prices for the same asset.
Ashdraked:
Being Ashdraked is essentially a more detailed version of being Zhoutonged. It is when you lose all of your invested capital, but you do so specifically by shorting Bitcoin. The expression βAshdrakedβ comes from a story of a Romanian cryptocurrency investor who insisted upon shorting BTC, as he had done so successfully in the past. Whe

Are there any terms or acronyms that you guys can think of that should be explained, especially to new players?
This post is great place for the beginner vaper.
I've been able to find lists or helpful/harmful effects, but there are a few terms I'm not sure of. For instance: flip. What does it mean if a harmful effect is flipped? It would be nice to just have some comprehensive resource to look these things up.
The rules to DnD can be quite confusing to new players. There have been a lot of posts about making better, more descriptive tooltips, but I think an addition of a compendium or glossary would be extremely helpful. The compendium could define key terms, status effects, spells, information about races or classes, etc. and be available to peruse at any time.
Hello, Not a new player by far, but would still find this ultra helpful. I don't feel we should have to leave the game, and check reddit or Google to figure out how certain affects work.
Yes, I can click on the description box of an debuff and see what it does when it's actually applied, but why can't I just see them in a list so I can familiarize myself with them?
This isn't graphically challenging, and a simple QoL improvement to the game.
A list of simple, and helpful items it could contain:
Bleed- does ?% damage to character at the start of their turn based off casters HP (would be nice to know the % too)
Regen- heals character at start of turn based on % HP of caster. This occurs AFTER bleed resolves.
Assist Now/Team Attack- What's the difference??
Disrupt - prevents positive affects from being applied to character, this DOES NOT prevent application of assist now/team attack.
Unavoidable/Un-dodgeable- definition of each because abilities like Hawkeye's shot in the dark is unavoidable , but can be dodged apparently
Hi all -
I've been thinking about this for a while. The FM community is, like many gaming communities, its own subculture in many ways. Memes, struggles, frustrations, joys, etc. are uniquely understood within this group. This was my first season playing seriously, and I noticed how many acronyms or terms are thrown around with assumed understanding. Using context clues, you can generally figure it out, but I thought it might be cool to create a resource for everyone (mostly new players) to figure out the 'lingo' of the game, particularly as this subculture continues to develop and grow.
I'll start with some terms that come to mind below, feel free to comment more and I'll edit to add them. Hopefully this gains some traction!
I am 100% new to any type of card games. I've never played Magic the Gathering or anything. I like the idea and so I'm diving into this game, but I have 101 little questions about the vocabulary used in the game and some basic gameplay rules.
Words like "destroy, incept, improvised" what does it all mean exactly?
The tutorials are not helpful.
With experience and trial and error I can figure it out mostly, but that can still be unclear.
For example, in some cases "destroy" means you can only use it once "per match" but I also think I had a card which I used once and it was gone from "the entire game session". Or am I wrong? I also see cards that say "If this card was improvised... " what does that mean? Why do some green cards in negotiation go towards buffing my character but other attack the opponent? They use the word "apply" composure. What does apply mean? Apply to me or apply to the opponent?
That might seem like a basic question which I could figure out myself, and I agree, but... I have A LOT of questions like that so it gets annoying at times. I'm playing the game, I'm doing well, I basically "get it", but I'm dying a lot too and it feels unfair. I feel like I'm swinging a bat with a blindfold on.
Also there are some cards I've acquired which "can't be played" but they are fighting cards and not banes or anything. So I guess that type of card is only played when you discard it via using another card with discard feature? That's... weird... but ok, as long as someone just tells me if that's the case or not! I feel like some people would never even guess how to do that, because it's rather convoluted and self-defeating in utility.
I can't seem to find any wiki or rules explanations pages anywhere? Do you know if that exists anywhere? It might be annoying to ask one question at a time in forums for all of these questions I have.
Otherwise. Love the game. I'm having fun. But I just want to answer these questions.

Please LMK if this violates the "self promotion" rule - and should be posted on a Saturday. I thought that since this is a free app and I see other commercial app discussions that it would be OK to post :)
Originally i though i would add this in my next Guide update, but this just got to large to implement there and is not really necessary there so a Link to this Thread should suffice.
In this Part i will try to explain different Terms used in this Game and in our Forum. Which may be confusing for newer Players. If you want something to add or correct feel free to participate. I have forgotten probably many things and will add them later.
