Battle Red Blog Glossary, Edition The Fourth -- A Psychedelic Journey Through Time And Zima

First of all, thank you to everyone who helped contribute to this endeavor for their assistance in coming up with the terms and definitions we've come to adopt over the last couple of years for no really good reason other than we can.

Again, I'd like to give props to MDC and bigfatdrunk for coming up with the original terms found in this glossary, many of which are no longer used but are retained for posterity (no, bfd, not posterior), and to tehGrindCrusher for assembling the original list.  Also, a brief nod of the head to the extinct Texans blog "Da Good, Da Bad and DeMeco", where many of these terms originated.

I should also stress that this is by no means a complete list of terms.  While I'm sure most of the BRB vernacular can be found here, there are words that are likely still buried in the annals of the blog.  And while I'd love to comb through the blog for them, I am lazy and do not feel like doing so.  However, if you think there's a term that should be on here that isn't, please let us know in the comments and we'll update the glossary as soon as sandwichly possible.

With no further ado, here's the official (updated) Battle Red Blog Glossary:
