The very first to be printed. 1st Edition is a term that applies to things that are collectable. Since 1st Editions are only out for a short time, they're more valuable than their Unlimited counterparts which are out for much, much longer.

A "quote-edit" is when someone clicks the quote icon of one of their own posts in an Internet forum when they intended to click the edit icon. They then end up editing the quote, which leaves the quoted post unedited, and the second post to be a non accurate quote of themselves with no non-quoted content.

When a sequence of events ends without resolution, is cut short, or is left up to viewer interpretation. This refers to the final scene of the last episode of The Sopranos, an American television drama created by David Chase that revolves around the mobster Tony Soprano, which ended without resolution.

An abbreviated version of a textbook that college bookstores and publishers provide students to eliminate the resale market for that specific title. The custom edition usually has the university's name on the cover, further preventing students from reselling the book.
Professors agree to use custom editions because publisher representatives (from companies like Houghton Mifflin, McGraw Hill, and Pearson) tell them the book will be available at a cheaper price point than a student could buy the non-custom edition for. The publisher reps conveniently never include online marketplace price points - so students regularly get screwed.

My professor assigned a custom edition of Campbells Biology. The bookstore was trying to sell me that customized book for $70, but I found the full version of the same book online for $10. The full version is so cheap because people all over the country are buying and selling it, which drives the price down.

The way DC Comics has to give their best stories ever the best edition humanly possible, in the form of slipcased, oversized, big honking hardcover books with loads of DVD-style extras and a tag price of $50, $75 or $100 according to the size of the thing. There's been 14 so far, and more will be coming in the future. Oh, and they weigh so much you can hit someone with them, although the idea is putting them in a big bookshelf besides your signed limited novels and impress the comic geek next door. Not to be read taking a crap.
