Personal lingo barrier

Personal lingo barrier, (i made this term), means a personal language barrier, where kne person defines how they see certain words and use them in their head differently than others, this may be a result of using a word in slang to the point it loses its original meaning, viewing certain phrases in a different light, or just being misguided as to what a word actually means, either due to being explained it wrongly, remembering wrongly, or any form of miscommunication

(person one): i was thinking we could go to the museum!
(person two): that would be very silly
(person one) oh, sorry :(
(person two) whats wrong?
(person one) nothing, i just wanted to go to the museum,,
(person two) so why not?
(person one) i thought you said it was silly?
(person two) well, to me, silly is good, like fun, or likeable, a positive thing!
(person one) Oh! so it was a Personal lingo barrier! good to know
(person two) so how about that museum?

Photonic Barrier

A term commonly used in the context of Mil/LEO/Night Vision. Refers to when a light source obscures a person's view due to overexposure, oversaturation, or shadowing.

Also referred to as: "Blooming", "Whiting out", "Glaring out".

Photonic Barriers are not commonly discussed when CQB is brought up. Even though the term is usually associated with Night Vision Use, there are still plenty of scenarios where a Photonic Barrier may affect you without the use of NVG's. knowing what they are and how to work around them may save your life.
