Terminology

Contexts, definitions, glossaries, jargon, lingo, meanings, nomenclature, onomatopoeias, phraseology, phrases, sayings, slang, terminology, terms, vernacular, words, xenolinguistics.

From A to Z:

Add brilliant context discussing educational, fascinating, glossaries, highly interesting jargon, killer lingo, meanings, nomenclature, onomatopoeias, phraseology, quite robust sayings, terminology, understandable vernacular, words, xenolinguistic yet zany - with definitions and references.

One Rule:

Always note when a term is made up (fiction) or slang (including Urban Dictionary). We may have fun with terms but we need to be informed.

If it's a term in dictionaries, on Wikipedia, Wiktionary, or authentically exists in a professional field, then it should be self evidently real (linked), thus not needing clarification stated in the post title.

Especially welcome:

Illuminating esoteric terms utilized in tradecraft (spycraft, espionage), /s/propaganda, /s/FakeNews, false flags, manufactured events, crisis events, mass hypnosis, /s/Illusions, deception, manipulation, /s/Gaslighting, /s/PsyOps, mind control, /s/propaganda, social engineering, social viruses, /s/Crime, /s/corruption, the /s/DeepState, /s/Intelligence, /s/politics, /s/Geopolitics, /s/pedogate, the /s/Corporatocracy, the /s/Technocracy, /s/Tyranny, power, and control. We need people to have the vocabulary to understand and resist Machiavellianism.

To battle the /s/RulingClass and their global /s/ClassWar we must develop new terms and hopefully some may even be adopted by normies.

Other fields of interest with unique terms you feel are important or interesting for the masses to learn are welcome too.
