Unofficial Glossary (tongue in cheek)

After seeing the woes and the stress that is caused by poor coding and poor design decisions, how about something that tries to reach the lighter side of it all for a change?

Perhaps build a list of the alternate names being given to certain 'features' of the game; an unofficial glossary of sorts?

The first couple I can think of were coined by other users who are free to lay claim to their own terms. 🙂

RNG as a great example. I've seen this doesn't actually stand for random number generator, but instead is the 'Random Nonsense Generator'.

'Manhole covers' is a term I've seen used to describe those really slow roll overs the ball does, when it wants to pretend the hole simply doesn't exist.

One that I would consider appropriate is a new definition for AI.
In this game, AI seems to stand for Assured Impairment.

For example, the AI during quick rounds seems to be able to ruin your scoring averages in a single day. There seems to be no input from all of your averages, and it just randomly pulls number out of the air (or somewhere darker and stinkier) and decides that's good enough. That is not intelligent, it is an impairment.

Can anybody else think of things that should be redefined or given new definitions?
