An anti-softlock is a resource used to prevent or get out of an apparent softlock in a videogame (which has been put there by design). It provides the player with a way out of the designed softlock by providing an exit or a way to kill their character in order to return to a previous save state.
Unlike softlocks, anti-softlocks are placed by design and are not effective in true softlocks from by faulty design, death on spawn, spawning inside a wall, or a game autosaving right the instant before you die.

Get the Anti-softlockmug. A Key Death is a situation in Super Mario Maker where a key that opens a door doesn't get saved once obtained if the player dies, literally, the player dies with the key.
For instance, given the circumstance that a player collects a total number of red coins to obtain a key, the progress that the player makes while obtaining them can be saved through checkpoints, but once the key is obtained, the game does not allow the player to respawn the key once they revive after dying, losing both the key and the progress made through the coins, making the player have to recollect the coins once again.
Key deaths are an inherent risk to the game itself, as the player can always die regardless of having obtained either the coins or the key itself due of the nature of the game, but key deaths can be used as a troll element as well, creating a situation where the player loses all their progress.

Get the Key Deathmug. CP1 (or Checkpoint 1) is a term used by the Super Mario Maker and the Super Mario romhacking internet communities referring to a designed troll element that usually transports the player to either the first or the previous checkpoint of the level, making them lose a significant portion of their progress.
The checkpoint is not necessarily the first one that the player crosses, as the game allows for two checkpoints to be placed. The checkpoint crossed can just as easily force the player to the very beginning of the level as well. The CP1 can be accessed through a door or a pipe, or simply, by dropping the player on top of it.
The player is usually presented with two or more choices in order to proceed, but if all those choices lead to the CP1, it can be used to make the player consider that the mistake that was made occurred at an earlier point.
Alternatively, the player may be taken to the beginning of the level itself and not to the first checkpoint. This circumstance is denominated CP0 (Checkpoint 0).

Get the Overratedmug. A colloquial way to refer to ginger ale.
Referred to as such due to the fact that it's a readily available drink option to have while riding a plane, whereas other soft drinks are offered more often under other circumstances, such as at restaurants and supermarkets.
When one wants a soft drink, the first drinks that come to mind are, more often than not, everything else but ginger ale. However, since it's offered at plane rides, ginger ale sometimes associated with them, hence "plane juice".
