Quote from 969_DoomsDruid_969because it will help people understand it when we(and especially I) throw around random-ass terms.
Also because I want to and I don't have any other projects relating to SP.
Would do an RP(got two concepts waiting in the wings) but not nearly well-liked enough fo dat
Would do a battle but I don't have time
So I thought this would be nice and helpful
Fair enough. Well I don't have any fancy terms for you. Just a few concepts and characters pertaining to the RHG system. But I do wish you luck.

concepts are fine

Well, thanks for ratting me out. :p
It's not so much following you as it is following this thread in particular, it just happened to catch my interest. Who knows, I may even submit something. I might also not. Haven't decided yet.

^ Amen to above posts. This thread looks awesome. Definitely something I plan on contributing to for sure... Eventually.
Just gotta come up with some terms...
Edit: Alright, thought up of a few. Please correct me on any that are wrong (rushing through most of this on various degrees of hype). I'll be adding stuff through edits:
Name: Omnipotent
Definition: Possessing unlimited/extremely high levels of power.
Classification: Classification of Being.
Name: Omniscient
Definition: Possessing unlimited knowledge.
Classification: Classification of Being
This site has a bunch of terms to use for reference:

Quote from Madness_BrothersS: As I'm a freaking fan of mythology (of any freaking kind), then I'll just put some terms that aren't really used here, just to keep people informed.
SPOILER! (Click to Show)
May I make a kind suggestion to put that into a spoiler, my good sir?

S: Well, I don't really like to spoiler mythology things, but I guess I'll make an exception.

Holdup, are you seriously saying that everything else isn't jargon? Explain this amazing logic to me sir, so that us poor shriveled souls spending actual time finding terms for you can grab something you won't immediately throw into a virtual garbage bin.
Are you friggin serious.

B-but Dooms, what about me?

@Draou: As you wish. You see, my dear companion, it is quite simple.
This is for unique Lounge jargon. Its not a dictionary. You can look that up with a dictionary. No. Don't do that. Thank you.
@thegloriouswaffler: although this is technically for in-universe stuff, I'll put in a classification of writerspeak so the newbs can understand the fuck you are talking about (if they don't already of course, the recent newbs have been completely competent and just need to work on their FUCKING GRAMMAR imo). So you're golden(although you were already, of course ;))

So what you're saying is that you want only and specifically only things that cannot be have their definitions found in a literal dictionary? I don't mean to be down on sectioning the purpose of this into that sort of area, but are you really trying to make a list that exclusively only includes terms that are used in fictional context? There are a lot, and I mean a lot, of those terms that happen to be both. To clarify my question here, are you only looking for makeshift definitions that aren't officially listed? Cause "officially listed" can be a really loose term with this stuff man.
Speaking of which, now that I hopefully have a clearer idea of what it is you want to fill this all out with, here's another one to make sure I got this right:
Name: Tractor Beam
Definition: A device utilizing a beam composed of a force field and/or gravitational force in order to pull objects safely towards or occasionally away from a source.
Classification: Substance
