IMPORTANT UPDATE: I've created a Glossary wiki, so from now on I'll be updating the glossary only there For any request, suggestion, criticism, please post in this thread or PM me! Thank you! Leaving the rest of the post here as it was originally So, here’s the long awaited thread for Planet Hanyu lingo! I’m not sure about how to keep things organized, so any suggestion is welcomed. Maybe if our glossary becomes oversized and congested, we can create a wiki, but at the moment I’m keeping things in this thread. Figure skating (FS for friends) has such a long tradition of acronyms and a very peculiar lingo and it can feel daunting for new fans to approach that Been there, felt that And Yuzuru’s fandom is very big, very varied and quite “old” and it has developed some very special terms and inside jokes. Stumbling into them for the first time can be frustrating and people can feel a bit left out… so this glossary was born to help everyone to enjoy everything together! Everyone’s contribute is welcomed. I’ve listed some of the entries off the top of my head here and stole some from @GraceAndPower’s list, so please add whatever word you come up with. And if you have doubts about any term you see on the Planet or even somewhere else, but related to Yuzuru/FS, feel free to ask here! Let’s make this Glittering Glossary truly Great! I’m having so much fun in compiling the entries, I hope everyone can have fun reading them! If you want to change any of the entries, please let me know! This thread is about the lingo of the Planet, so it belongs to all of us! Thanks for bearing with my wall-text and have fun! WARNING: keep in mind that many expressions, such as Evil Overlord and Trashbag pants (yeah, two very random examples), are used as jokes and/or terms of endearment, not mean to be taken seriously, and absolutely never meant as derogatory terms. At the moment the Glossary is split into two big categories: specific Yuzuru fandom lingo and general figure skating lingo. 1. Yuzu fandom&Planet Hanyu lingo WORK IN PROGRESS The basics Some more Yuzu-related lingo (alphabetical order) where you'll find some Yuzu-related terms like trollzuzu, memelord, GOAT Yuzuru’s programs and ICONIC skating moves, with acromyms of Yuzu's programs and the names of some of his most famous skating moves, ranging from some "official" FS names, like hydroblade, to fan-created terms like zusa Costumes & Clothes!!! 2. Figure skating lingo this is a MAJOR WORK IN PROGRESS AT SNAIL-SPEED Ice Shows & Competitions with acronyms and a few details about some of them Common terms in Figure Skating, whith everything used in FS fandom, from carrot cake to tano to sQUAD to be added another section to list a few names of people like coaches, skaters and so on. Let’s start from the first!!! Yuzuru fans are very creative! ETA: you can also find all the Glossary entries listed from A to Z in a google doc here Sadly no Yuzumoticon no emoticons at all and links are all over the place so (surprise surprise!) huge WORK IN PROGRESS The thread is more up-to-date than the google doc though. If you want to know if a certain term is listed in the Glossary, I recommend using ctrl+F to search for it in this page directly ETA 2: sometimes there are cross-references between different entries, I''m highlighing them like this (then you'll have to search for those terms yourself, sorry)
