Personal Chart
A chart (i.e. a list), generally music-based, determined by ones personal taste.
Commonly personal singles charts are a list of what one person's current favourite music is, and is compiled by themselves. The chart will typically change every week, like national charts, the positions moving such that some older songs make way for newer songs. Typically a single may climb the chart to its peak position then move downward until it drops out but patterns may differ.

Manchasm
A chasm of men, apparently. Or a tale about Mark Foley and things he said, all of which were right (audience, please!), that all he wanted was a detonator and how Colin is a very pretty pussy cat.
Stayman
The most popular bridge convention (i.e. the game of bridge) to find a major suit fit after an opening bid or an overcall in No Trumps, particularly 1NT.
The most popular variation is a 2C response to 1NT asking for a 4-card major. It is important for the responder to have an answer to any response he may receive.
There are variations like Puppet Stayman which enables players to open 2NT with a 5 card major and still find a 5-3 major suit fit.

Using Stayman often promises enough strength to invite to game. But even if that is your understanding with your partner, you can play "Garbage Stayman"

single malt
A whisky which is distilled at a single distillery, and which is made completely from a single type of malted grain (usually barley).
This is generally considered the best type of whisky. The most popular varieties are from Scotland although there are a few from Japan.
Some are bottled at cask strength, but most of them are watered down before bottling. The age of the whisky is the whole number of years that have passed between distillation and bottling (during which it was kept in the cask).

lite
A scaled-down version of a software product, offering only a limited set of features, often free, otherwise much cheaper than the full product.
This is often used as a way of getting buyers who are interested to pay for the full product when they wish to use the features that the lite version does not support.
Sometimes there is a lite version of a product that even has a free version with more features, but not everybody requires these features.
