MMV
Acronym for Maple Music Video. Can come from a Fraps'd Maple Story Video, or a MMV from the Maple Story Simulator BannedStory.
I love that MMV!
Fraps
A program that records video. It is often used for video games. However, it decreases your fps, frames per second, which means less quality of your videos and it lags horribly, depending on your graphics card.
BannedStory
A Maple Story simulator. It uses nearly all of the equipment, NX or not, custom or original, used in the MMORPG Maple Story. It is used for MMVs, fight scenes, and test animations. Preferred by most MMV creators.
I use BannedStory for my MMVs.

Cloned
'Cloned' means you're surrounded by attackers at all sides, nowhere to run from. Taken due to the fact in the flash game Newgrounds Rumble, if you take the upgrade with the three heads, and you and a clone is taking both of the sides, it means a lot of damage for the victim.
Hentai
This is one of your three groups of the sexually explicit genre of anime/manga.
Hentai has a negative connotation to the Japanese and is commonly used to mean "sexually perverted". In slang, it is an insult meaning pervert or weirdo and isn't applied to pornography in Japan. 18-kin, adult manga, and AV are used to indicate pornography.
Hentai anime/manga is focused on sex, the 'yummy parts,' as some may say. It's heterosexual sex, and your homosexual sex is yaoi/yuri.

Yuri
1. A common Japanese girl's name meaning 'lily.'
2. Language spoken in the islands of New Guinea and the Amazon.
3. A genre of sexually explicit anime/manga literally meaning Girls Love. It is a Japanese jargon term for content and a genre involving love between women in manga, anime, and related Japanese media. Yuri can focus either on the sexual or the emotional aspects of the relationship, the latter sometimes being called shōjo-ai by western fans.
The themes yuri deals with have their roots in the Japanese lesbian literature of early twentieth century, with pieces such as Yaneura no Nishojo by Nobuko Yoshiya. Nevertheless, it is not until the 1970s that lesbian-themed works began to appear in manga, by the hand of artists such as Ryoko Yamagishi and Riyoko Ikeda. The 1990s brought new trends in manga and anime, as well as in dōjinshi productions, along with more acceptance for this kind of content. In 2003 the first manga magazine specifically dedicated to yuri was launched under the name Yuri Shimai, followed by its revival Comic Yuri Hime, launched after the former was discontinued in 2004.
