| abstract | - There are a number of sayings and phrases used by characters in TRON that are specific to the TRON Universe. Some of them have simple meanings (i.e. "Greetings, Programs!"), while some other phrases are more obscure (i.e. "Watch out for nested macros.") The following is a list of the sayings and phrases in Tron and their meanings, if available. "Oh, my User!" - A program's version of "Oh, my God!" Used by Ram as an expression of agony when he was dying. "Who does he calculate he is?" - Crom, referring to the MCP; a program's version of "Who does he think he is?" "Tonight, we check everything in the right-hand column." - Flynn to Clu shortly before Clu got derezzed. "Null unit" and "bit-brain." - Derogatory slurs used by Sark toward his lieutenant. "If you've seen one consumer electronics show, you've seen them all." Ed Dillinger, referring to an electronics show he'd attended. "End of Line." - End of communication; used frequently by the MCP, and later as the name of a club in Tron City. "Sprite" - An insult between programs. "Glitch" - A form of profanity. "Reindeer Flotilla" - Flynn's forged Group Six password. "This program has no disc - another stray." Sentries referring to Sam Flynn, believing that without a disc he'd lost his memory. "Come, away from these primitive functions." - Castor to Sam, referring to programs at his club. "I fight for the users." - Rinzler before sacrificing himself.
- From Medieval Latin New Latin lexicon < [[w:|]][[Category: derivations|Lexicon]] λεξικόν (lexicon), “‘a lexicon’”), neut. of λεξικός (lexikos), “‘of words’”) < λέξις (lexis), “‘a saying, speech, word’”) < λέγειν (legein), “‘to speak’”).
- The basic idea is that each player takes on the role of a scholar, from before scholarly pursuits became professionalized (or possibly after they ceased to be). You are cranky, opinionated, prejudiced and eccentric. You are also collaborating with a number of your peers -- the other players -- on the construction of an encyclopedia describing some historical period (possibly of a fantastic world). The game is played in 26 turns, one for each letter of the alphabet. 1.
* On the first turn, each player writes an entry for the letter 'A'. You come up with the name of the entry, and you write 100-200 words on the subject. At the end of the article, you sign your name, and make two citations to other entries in the encyclopedia. These citations will be phantoms -- their names exist, but their content will get filled in only on the appropriate turn. No letter can have more entries than the number of players, either, so all citations made on the first turn have to start with non-A letters. 2.
* On the second and subsequent turns, you continue to write entries for B, C, D and so on. However, you need to make three citations. One must be a reference to an already-written entry, and two must be to unwritten entries. (On the 25th and 26th turns, you only need to cite one and zero phantom entries, respectively, because there won't be enough phantom entries, otherwise.)It's an academic sin to cite yourself, you can never cite an entry you've written. (OOC, this forces the players to intertwingle their entries, so that everybody depends on everyone else's facts.) Incidentally, once you run out of empty slots, obviously you can only cite the phantom slots. 3.
* Despite the fact that your peers are self-important, narrow-minded dunderheads, they are honest scholars. No matter how strained their interpretations are, their facts are accurate as historical research can make them. So if you cite an entry, you have to treat its factual content as true! (Though you can argue vociferously with the interpretation and introduce new facts that shade the interpretation.) 4.
* This little game will probably play best on a wiki, and it should take a month or so to play to completion. At the end of it, you'll have a highly-hyperlinked document that details a nice little piece of collaborative world-building. The owner of the wiki should set the general subject of the Lexicon. I suggest that he or she make use of the technique of "open reference" when describing the historical period: "You are all revisionist scholars from the Paleotechnic Era arguing about how the Void Ghost Rebellion led to the overthrow of the cyber-gnostic theocracy and the establishment of the Third Republic." What a cyber-gnostic theocracy is, or what happened to the first two republics, or what the Paleotechnic Era is are all unknown -- they are named to specifically to evoke a mood and inspire the other players' creativity. (This is an idea which I've first seen in fully articulated form in the character creation rules for Robin Laws's Hero Wars game.)

- This is an index of the various lexicons and glossaries in White Wolf games. Many of these, especially in the Classic World of Darkness and the Chronicles of Darkness, divide the in-universe lexicon into three categories:
* Common Parlance: terms used in everyday language by the majority of characters and factions, or names and terms that any character would be expected to know
* Old Form: terms used by older or more traditional characters or factions, or technical terms not used in regular conversation
* Vulgar Argot: slang, gutter insults, and the neologisms of modern youth ("modern" and "youth" being incredibly relative terms in the case of vampires and the like) Additionally, most games that introduce a new rule system or summarize the existing Storyteller System include a lexicon of out-of-character Game Terms.

They make use of every type of warrior available. Their mission is to hunt down the Anathema: Celestial Exalted, Fair Folk, Wyld Barbarians, unruly minor gods, and the like. They are split into 2 levels: the masters known as Oraklides, who receive instruction from the gods or their messengers the Bronze Siderials, and the Hunters/Huntresses the warriors who carry out the instructions of the Oraklides. Each Hunting party is assigned a Lead Hunter/Huntress who is a veteran of several successful Hunts, and 1 or 2 new recruits who have not been on a Hunt before.
* Odyne Temple - An organization of Exalted martial artists. They were founded in Persia after its initial conquest to allow the study of the Persian's fighting styles and combine them with the power of the Terrestrial Exalts. It practices the Olympian Order and spreads its through all of creation. Many students here go on to join the Wyld Hunt.
* Thaumaturgy - in the Greek world there are 3 divisions of this art:
* Oracles, who predict the future using astrology
* Alchemists who create useful objects using enchantment
* Magos, who perform acts outside of these two other "schools", they are generally banned inside of civilized areas unless specific permits are held.
- Smash Attack is a style of Beyblade attack that focuses on hitting the opposing Beyblade with enough force to deplete their spin completely or knock them out of the stadium.
