My favorite part is the slang term for BFR

I heavily edited it. PS1-only items and unconfirmed things were removed and tried to reword things like a dictionary, not an opinion-piece. Keep it coming though.

I think you overdid it a bit...

CE, EZmode, Fishheads, Farming, Hotdrop and Planets are terms that are very possibly to be used in the sequel.

I mean when some PS vet OL tells a newcomer to lay down some CE, he (the newcomer) won't even have a slightest idea of what that means.
