[Help] Disco glossary - jammi - 07-01-2025
Hello everyone!
As a part of the new player onboarding work, I'd like to compile a glossary of Discovery acronyms / contractions that are commonly used. This can also include the acronyms used by NPC factions (but not player factions, at least to start with).
This will be posted on the wiki and linked to the Discord. Any help is much appreciated.
Updated wiki list article is here:

I've merged together my initial list with the tutorials section list, and a few other things that occurred to me.
I'll add in the suggestions here too.
EDIT: Added the suggestions here, except for Harris Syndrome. Mostly because it's an extremely dated reference from over 15 years ago, and I can count the number of people who'd actually use / understand it on one hand. Plus it's a bit rude.
