Intellav

Def: Any one or combination of being intellectually, emotionally, psychologically, or behaviorally average.

This word is of my own creation.

COO-cave of ordeals. The zone with the best power leveling area in the game in Disgaea. It is optional and usually done after one has already beaten the game.

Monastic jargon:

"refectory" = dining room
"cloister" = "enclosure" = the part of the monastery that is private to the monks, open to outsiders only with permission of the superior; in "cloistered" communities, it is the area which the monks may leave only with permission of the superior.

There's lots more that doesn't occur to me right now.

Historical jargon

Jingoism-a more extreme form of nationalism, characterized by a love of war. The ones we call "War Hawks" would be considered jingoists.

Some hockey jargon, then:

to stick-handle: v. in hockey, to control the puck by passing it to oneself back and forth through skillful handling of one's hockey stick. The gerund (verbal noun describing this action) is stick-handling.
