+
+  Many users on this server use special words and phrases (slang, jargon,
+lingo).  Here is an explanation of the more common terms and abbreviations.
+
+
+Admin -- Server administrator or sys-op (systems operator).
+
+ATM -- At the moment.
+
+BIAS -- Back in a second. (similar to brb)
+
+BRB -- I'll be right back.  Person is about to go idle or log off for a few
+       minutes or so.
+
+Censor -- Whoever is censored by you can't talk to or match you.  You won't
+          see their shouts either.
+
+Filter -- Sites that are filtered cannot have unreg logins from them.
+
+Finger (someone) -- A command used to learn about another user.  Also refers
+                    to one's notes or "plan".  Thus, "finger me" is not meant
+                    to be rude.  :)
+
+Handle -- Your server name (nickname).
+
+IAM -- In a minute.
+
+IMHO -- In my humble opinion.
+
+IMO -- In my opinion.
+
+Isbjoern -- Polar bear.  A weird concept invented by that master of
+            creativity, TheDane.  If someone says this, everyone is meant to
+            repeat it.  (It is used to mean greetings.)  However don't take
+            this literaly, else the server would really slow down. :)
+
+Lag -- Transmission delay, when either the server or the internet slows down.
+
+Match (someone) -- Start a game with someone.
+
+Muzzle -- Loss of shouting privileges.  You also can't kibitz.
+
+Notes -- Same as "plan" or "finger" notes.
+
+Plan -- The notes you get when you type "finger".
+
+ROTFL -- Rolls on the floor laughing.
+
+Thumpa -- Greetings!
+
+wrok -- Work [work is a forbidden word :) ]
+
+Wuah -- Greetings!  The word muah can also be used with it, e.g., wuah muah!
+
+Unreg -- Unregistered user (doesn't have an account here ... yet).
+
+:) :) :) :) :) :)'s at the wonderful wonderful world :) -- This shout dates
+back to the 'Court of Queen Eyre' on the old ICS.  We think it meant "hi
+everyone".
