And finally, what you've all been waiting for...the dictionary! Just so you know, some of these meanings have been altered slightly to what I think may fit the word. Forgive me if I have spelled a word incorrectly, I encourage you to inform me of any mistake so that I may correct it. If you have anything to add, such as new terms, your opinion on a certain word, anything at all, feel free to comment. I would love to read what you have to say. :)
