First things first... If you have any cool words, by all means tell me them. I like words. They're cool. Okay, here we go. (all definitions or partial definitions from the Merriam-Webster dictionary, unless otherwise indicated). Though I got sick of Merriam-Webster's long definitions, so I started using my own.
