SOLDIERS OF THE SLAB SCOOTER GANG

Glossary of terms


There have been several requests for a glossary of terms. I have made a valiant attempt to list the terms in alphabetical order, but I’m no English major, so give me a break. Please feel free to request other terms to be posted along with this. Notice the pic of me doing scientific equations to make sure the knowledge is posted properly.
