Glossary 2.0?

We'd like to roll out the 2.0 version of the glossary. We've received only a tiny set of additions, but at this time, we're opening it up to anyone who thinks a relevant glossary term is missing and is fired up about remedying that situation.

Check the current gloss, and then email us entries (with relevant definitions).

And, yes, to more than a few queries, Oxford Oh will appear.

    Here are some suggestions:

    disunderstanding - a deliberate misunderstanding; pretending to be confused in order to gain the upper hand

    caring disability - similar to a learning disability, but learning is impeded by the snowflakes inability to care about their education.

    troll.

    Northeastern Ghetto Tech - A real four-year school existing in the sketchier part of a large northeastern city Strelnikov has renamed Pretzelton. While not a large college, it was important enough to Pretzelton that it had its own subway stop and rail station. A number of famous people have come from the college, including two men who later had a show on a national animation network and a black comedian who sold a now-defunct brand of personal computers. Did I just give it way?

    Strellie: I like the troll one. You should definitely submit it.

    @Strellie: I'm not 100% sure, but I think one of my grandfathers earned a (2-year, night school) architecture degree from NGT sometime in the early 1920s. It served him (the son of a factory worker who rose to foreman) pretty well, give or take the little issue of the depression cropping up during his peak earning years (the WPA helped, and later he managed to make up some lost time by working two jobs during WWII, when he was too old to fight -- he'd been in the Army Corps of Engineers in WWI -- but not too old to help keep things going on the home front).
