Title: CH glossary
Post by CJohnson on May 21^st, 2003, 10:45am

How much value would a CH glossary have? Some people do not know what a half-life is. Some people will call a single CH event (15min-2hrs) an attack, some may call it an episode, some may call it something else. Kind of a medical dictionary/terminology unifier kind of thing, but all specific to CH and this board.

Yes Curtis, it would be nice if everybody called the same thing by the same name.
So start typing ;D

Thank you in advance for starting the much needed FAQ.

Todd started one on the New Visitor's Page, but explaining some more words we all use without realizing sure would help.

Attack
Cycle
Hit
Shadow (it's on the New Visitors Page, kinda)
'Trex
Pred
Verap
Lith
O2
Shrooms
Cluster Eyes
Silent Attacks
OTC's
Chinese Circus Midgets ::)

and...oh yeah....OUCH.

stuff like that. I think we need a volunteer to fill in the blanks here. Um...I nominate....oh, lessee here......Den keeps making veiled threats about taking his toys and going home.....maybe he just needs more to DO. :D He's quite eloquent if he sets his mind to it. (Well, that, and he's got a walking dictionary for a girlfriend.)

As I have developed an insatiable appetite for CH relevant information, and am constantly reviewing the archives and searching the web for such information, I would be glad to produce a list of CH words - both medical related and MB related - which, when completed, I could present to the group for scrutiny. In fact, I have already started.
