Aces High Glossary

[Pyro]

We're putting together a glossary of terms used in the Aces High.  This thread is to collect submissions to the glossary of various terms and their definitions.  Please add them in a manner that makes it easy to cut and paste.  For example:

con -

1. Shortened form of the term "icon".
2. To positively identify or come within icon range of another player.  "I con P-51s at 12 o'clock."
3. Shortened form of "convention" referring to the Aces High Convention.

Don't be afraid to edit or expand an entry that was submitted.  List the entire entry if you edit or expand a definition.  Please keep the jokes to a minimum or better yet, start a different joke thread as this will be a lot to parse through.  Thanks for your help.
