I've been playing lots of VTOL VR lately. Its control setup is absolutely genius!

Compound Acronym

An acronym where each letter is used in a more creative manner to express more meaning than a simpler letter-for-word acronym would enable.

BDSM is technically an acronym, but not a traditional letter-for-word acronym like "TSA" or "LMAO". Instead, the term BDSM acts as a compound acronym. It stands for "Bondage and Discipline, Domination and Submission, Sadism and Masochism". If that term were expressed as a conventional acronym, it would be written out as "BDDSSM", and so consolidating the redundant letters of the acronym and expressing the term as a compound acronym, "BDSM", makes for a term that is far easier to say.

Good Source Of Vitamins

A term for any article of food, typically snack foods, that has a significant amount of sugar in it, around 50% your daily value's sugar per serving size.

Upon the box of poptarts read a small but prevalent line of text at the front: "good source of vitamins and minerals!" A simple tactic to distract careless buyers from daring to read the nutrition facts on the back and find the dark secrets buried just below the surface...

Tabularasaness

The quality of being new to a craft and not having learned the conventions and tropes of it, making it very easy for one to start experimenting with it without getting bogged down in the finer details as veterans of such crafts often will. Applies mostly to the arts, such as drawing and music production. Derived from the term tabula rasa, Latin for 'blank slate', representing the idea of one's mind being a blank slate ready to be populated with new information.

"I used to do art all the time, but delving into all the art meta killed all that tabularasaness that was keeping me going. Now my creative drive is running on fumes if anything at all. It's really depressing."

FOC/NSA

Acronym: "Free Of Charge, No Strings Attached". Refers to a service that is provided for free and on no explicit conditions, typically in an interpersonal context.

When I was bedridden recovering from my abdominal surgery, my neighbors Natalie and her husband Jacob offered to help handle house chores and cook meals for me. It was all offered FOC/NSA too! I'm glad there's still some kindness left in this world.

D2

Shorthand for 'designated driver.' The person who escorts you to the club, drinks lightly if at all, and helps drive you home after a long night of cirrhotic frivolity. D2s are occasionally given special treatment by bartenders for their services, such as offering snacks and non-alcoholic beverages to dedicated D2s.

Person 1: "Hey, can you be my D2 tonight?"
Person 2: "Sure! I charge $13 per hour, plus $50 if you vomit in my car."
Person 1: "What? Why are you charging me just to-- ...oh."
