GLOSSARY: A TO Z

Mad Skillz
As in ‘Dude, that was the coolest move - you’ve got mad skillz.’

Mark
Politically correct term for `hit'. As in "Hey, I marked your ass, my marker shoots straight, mark me and mark my words". Another word used is tag. If it was up to me I would suggest `betoken' as the PC word for hit. My thesaurus says it is a synonym for `mark'. As in "Marshal, get him out of there, he's betokened, I betokened him on the hopper!"

Marker
Politically correct term for Paintball gun. Otherwise known as a betokener
(see mark).
