ADAD - A Duck is A Duck: A shortcut for "If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, eats like a duck, swims like a duck…it’s a duck." A response to Nonstens and Doubstens when all evidence, which are relatively neon lights flashing/pointing to a Robsten relationship, are still questioned.

adoRKable - When high profile couples do coupley things, at best it’s cute. Most of the time though it’s saccharine-overload assault we just have to look away (or close the tab). But when it’s RK being coupley, it is called adoRKable. The matchy black shoelace bracelet and trainers? adoRKable. Swapping of the GOMD shirt? adoRKable. Eating from the same plate? hand-over-hopeless-shipper-heart-sighing-adoRKable!

The Agile Flippy - Rob is Flippy to Kristen because he can “barely jump rope” and his hands are "like flippers". But Flippy can be agile too “if need be” right Stewie? Why that back flipping by Flippy in the Volturi's lair is worth flippin over. Bravo Flippy! err Robbie.

AKP - Alleged Kissing Photo: a photo of Rob and Kristen in a compromising position, usually blurry and inconclusive.

BTC - Badass Trendsetter Couple: Rob's and Kristen's usual get-ups may not pass the fashion police standards, but their easy going style is copied by fans and cast members alike. Hoodies, plaids, beanies and band shirts scream trademark Robsten style.

Beanie Love - Rob's favorite brimless cap ; also turning out to be a favorite of Kristen's.

BNH – Be Near Him: During those early furtive days of R/K, seeing Kristen wear a very familiar shirt made people think Shirtgate. From then on we’ve seen several instances that shows shirt-sharing is clearly an R/K thing. We noted that she especially likes wearing his shirts when they’re apart. Before she left Rob in NY, you might have noticed this. And it’s not because she does not have enough clothes okay (puhlease). The undershirt smells like him, and if that’s what she needs to tide her over till they meet again, who are we to judge and cry “hobo!”?  Surely you’ve done it at some point in your life, that is do everything just to be near one very special person.

BPE - Best Photo Ever: When a photo trumps a previous favorite photo e.g. that Paris Tarmac arm-holding/finger-playing is the BPE! it trumps the Harper’s Bazaar hand-clasping photo.

The BUQ -The Big Unanswered Question: Always the elephant in every room where Rob and Kristen are interviewed. Are you dating? KStew has this for you: We are, We aren’t. I’m a lesbian. Can I have your firstborn child? See it just gets complicated (and perilous). Might as well not ask.

BSBK - Bloody Smitten by Kristen (best read mimicking Rob's British accent) : when one is struck dumb strongly fascinated by the breathtaking beauty and allure of KStew.

BMRW - Button Me the Rob Way: Who says there is a correct way to button shirts? Does a misaligned shirt even lower one's hotness factor? Why KStew thinks it’s “overly considered actually” (you don't want to argue with that). Faulty equilibrium or not, misbuttoned tops has become a Robert Thomas Pattinson trademark.

cse - can't squee enough: it’s just not possible. specially during FERDs.

Channeling Bella - exhibiting the traits and quirks of Bella. May also be Becoming Bella.

CK - Confirmation Kiss: a lover's kiss shared by R/K. The ultimate proof Doubstens ask for. Must be the couple-y kind, not part of a script and preferably in broad daylight or in a well-lit place.

CK1- Confirmation Kiss (One Year After): August 16 is an auspicious date for the fandom. In 2009 we squeed over a blurry pic (AKP) of Rob and Kristen during a KOL concert. Exactly a year after we got another blurry pic, but this time there’s no controversy or debates to be had. This lover’s kiss might have been taken by a pap lens but the crux of the matter is – they truly kissed! And there was clearly no intention to hide! 

That DLC - That Damn Lucky Chopstick: When: Bobby Long gig on Sept. 7, 2009. Who: Little Boy Stewie. What: That look. That piercing stare. That chopstick she's playing with her mouth. Unmindfully playing not knowing it's illegal to do that. Ok stop! We don't know with you but we're thinking we cannot look at chopsticks the same way again. Ever. One Spicy Ramen to go please. Thud.

DSDR - Dancing Shipper's Dance with the Robstendom: celebratory dance for FERDs and HRDs.

Dark-haired Angel - Clad in a Valentino tulle mini and a Rock and Republic pointy stilettos, Kristen was a sight to behold during the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. The dark haired angel didn't sport the long locks expected of angels but opted instead for a pixie style that framed her face well. The shimmery frock with the studded stilettos was a juxtaposition of soft yet firm, feminine yet tough, sophisticated but edgy. Which was sort of perfect since it is all sooo Kristen. We laud Rob's self-restraint and give him props for trying his best to behave *trying being the operative word*.

Decommentors - Nasty blog readers who want to bring on the hate with their comments. Inspired by JK Rowling's Dementors, those lowlifes who suck the happiness and soul out of a person and feed on peoples' happy emotions. Decommentors usually come out when cast and filming photos are leaked, new trailers are shown, magazine interviews are released, award shows are televised, Kristen just got a new haircut...Pretty much whenever they feel like it.

The DWC – The Devil Wears a Clock(block): By now every Rob fan knows that he is not allowed to answer personal questions during interviews. But surprisingly there is only one personal question that seems to be a No-No - anything Kristen-related, especially The BUQ. During press events and premieres, the DWC appears to remind Rob to shut it up Time’s up, let’s move! That’s enough signing now! One of the biggest “clockblocks” happened during the LA premiere of New Moon. Ryan Seacrest asked “What do you say to your fans who are desperate to know about you and your co-star Kristen?”, Rob started to giggle and blush then one look at the DWC and he knew, we knew (Ryan didn’t) Time’s up! One Last Question:  If we need Anger Management classes can we charge it to them DWCs?

DNRSA - Does Not Require Summit's Approval: After-work goings on e.g. where Rob and Kristen decide to sit when watching concerts.

Doubstens - People who doubt that there is something romantic going on between Rob and Kristen. Unlike Nonstens, there's a possibility for Doubstens to switch to Team Robsten.

ERM - Epic Robsten Moments: make up a FERD.

Epic Trailer! - the New Moon extended trailer is full of epic win. It showed Bella's gut-wrenching cries, the eerie cliff dive, the Volturi wreaking terror, the shirtless You-can-go-to-hell Edward. It made everyone yearn for November to come sooner. And we never thought we could adore Chris Weitz even more.

emfs - excuse me for squeeing: because I can’t help being euphoric over a Robsten breaking news.

eufs - excuse us for squeeing: because euphoria over Robsten breaking news need to be shared with fellow shippers.

ESP - Extrasensory Shipper's Perception: R/K shippers are no way clairvoyant. But we’ve got ESP, which is an acquired skill,  honed over shipping time. One’s ESP is at work when one gets a hunch that something "big" will happen in Robstendom soon, when you feel in your gut that there's something not quite right about frosted photos, cropped out and blackened pictures, those who claim they have Rob's best interest at heart…

The Faithful Shipper – there is no manual for shipping but the faithful shipper knows she only needs an unwavering faith (UFR) for this ship to sail fine. The faithful shipper is not impressionable and will not fret over unfounded news (gossip) pairing Rob and Kristen to every co-star and friend; is not disheartened by the lack of PDAs and verbal confirmation of true love nor demands it (or anything really) from Rob or Kristen. The faithful shipper knows her place and stays- through droughts and frenzied times - to support and celebrate R/K.

FARD - F*ck*ng Awesome Robsten Days: for the non-conservatives this is the only way to aptly describe the heady feeling from days or weeks of non-stop Robsten goodness.

FRIDay – Fear-less Robsten Indulgence Day: Only R/K could totally re-define what Friday the 13th is to most people. This is good considering some of us are still traumatized over white masks and machetes (no thanks to our evil brothers). Yes before Montreal happened in Robstendom, Friday the 13th was all about ominous signs, bad luck and that slasher series you just hate to love. Now it can all be about a boy in a cheeky band tee and a girl with blonde locks, looking solidly and fearlessly in love. And we get to witness it! Ain’t we lucky…

FERD - Frickin Epic Robsten Day: a day when all the stars align for R/K and they are able to engage in public displays of affection. Any day that confirms and reaffirms a Robsten love relationship.

FGA - Fierce Goddess Ammunition: Includes, but is not limited to, trophies and awards won by The Fierce KStew and Robsten. Are primarily mementos but can also be used as weapons against Starlets who want to eat Rob, dangerous stalkerish fangirls and rude intrusive paps. Examples are: KStew's chipped MMA golden popcorn, TCA surfboards, KStew's Rock and Republic spiky skirt (Spiky skirt? They were bullets, mofo! sorry KStew), that Rock and Republic studded stilettos, a certain chopstick...

Fierce KStew - Kristen's alter ego. The no-nonsense, headstrong, tough and capable of kicking rude papz and detractors' b*tts girl.

Forget the (B)Rat Pack! - there's a new wily crew in town turning heads wherever they go! Composed of Sam Bradley, Bobby Long, Marcus Foster, Tom Sturridge (aka TomStu) and Robert Pattinson– they are famously known as The Brit Pack. Although most fans are initially introduced to the Brit Pack as an extension of Rob - the vast majority are immediately charmed by the talented, charming, witty as hell, unruly Brits. The boys reportedly adore Kristen and hang out with her brothers. They are often spotted with Rob and Kristen and their gigs have provided some very memorable Robsten moments.

Free Robsten! - a plea to Summit and to their respective managements to let go and let R/K run their personal lives.

The F**kHawt Madrid Dress – also known as The Outfit that Made Flippy’s Hands Restless. Kristen elicited a collective Unf when she wore this jaw-dropping Balenciaga creation in Madrid for the New Moon fan event. We know the lady is gorgeous in anything that shows her to-die-for legs but choosing to wear that number with the teasing peek-a-boo sheer? It called for everyone questioning their sexuality and Rob finding it utterly difficult to reign his uhm... delight. You asked for it Stewie.

gbp - gah! blurry pic: why can’t all photos, specially interesting ones, be in HQ?

The God of All Interviews - Hands down the recognition has to be given to Harper’s Bazaar December 2009 issue and writer Laura Brown. Trumps all the other RK articles for brilliantly giving us a light, intelligent, respectful yet revealing piece. Rag mags should take some notes!

gch - going crazy here: though my shrink says that’s fairly normal with ORD.

GMT - Gold Mine Tee: aka the Get Off My D*ck shirt, aka The Greatest of all Shared Shirts, aka Gold and Clear as the Sun shirt, aka Do You Finally Get It shirt. This term is brought to you by Smarties - when you don’t need blaring statement shirts to Get It.

The Great Restraint - Kristen doesn’t really have a problem with personal space (she doesn’t mind hugging fans). So it must be tricky when she’s told not to stand too close to her guy or touch him suggestively. But she can restrain herself because she is fierce and determined that way. At the end of the day though, all the effort can take a toll, and a girl just gotta do what she's gotta do y'know...

The HSRW - The Hand that Sells Rule the World : Rob’s hands. *snaps fingers. Welcome back from that reverie* No other hands are worth lotsa $$ than Robert Pattinson’s nowadays. That’s why he’s a hit with charity auctions. Whatever he creates - sells. We can’t blame them, his handprint – it speaks to us. And this? Picasso 2010 people. (Don’t let your lil ones analyze that balloon, please. You’ve been warned). Also, remember this? Okay that didn’t sell anything but it sure brought in more customers! Now you wonder when Planet Hollywood will auction that (some fangirl *coughs me coughs you* is thinking that will look good in my bedroom bar hmm).

The HankyPanky Stew – We were completely Stewpefied as we watched Kristen rant, glow and charm while delivering one of the most honest and funny interviews during The Runaways promotion. It's official, we will never be able to look innocently at a box of tissues EVER again without remembering the Stewgasm that was The HankyPanky. That distinguished trophy will be a proud addition to the Fierce Goddess Ammunition for sure. The only unanswered question is -  How many cold showers did Flippy actually need after watching those tissues crumble at the mercy of Stewie’s impressive wrist action?

HRD - Happy Robsten Day: see FERD.

Herbivores - We have utmost respect for exes who keep the peace by not putting up a public Facebook account with status e.g. I loved you and all I got was your green plaid or I hate you K$%@# you ruined my life!. But that select group in the fandom who prefer to stay in their comfort zones called "the past" and hate on every R/K good news there is, we only have sad bewildered pouts for. We understand it was painful but everything happens for a reason and Kristen is happy so... can we all be happy for her now?

Here Comes The Sun – We love the Beatles. How could one not love the Beatles? When that lovely Isle of Wight photo of Rob and Kristen was leaked (to put it mildly) some people were in full battle gear looking for all the wrong in that picture (the body that could not be Rob’s, the hands that could be inside pockets) . And bless the sun for it’s glare! Makes not seeing what is really there much more convenient eh? But we’d rather thank the sun for something else - the fact that it granted Kristen her much-desired walk.  With the man she flew thousands of miles to be with for the holidays. It could not have been more perfect. And we don't even mind going temporarily blind staring at the beauty and truth that photo brings.  You ask about the hand holding? We’ve got it already (here in case you forgot).

HGG - His Goofy Gorgeousness: Rob is, without a doubt, easy on the eyes. But what puts him in a level above “handsome”, and is one of the reasons why he has wormed his way solidly into Kristen’s our hearts, is his ability to laugh at himself. The fact that he doesn’t care how he looks like when he pokes fun at himself is oddly endearing.  Even Taylor had gushed “I miss Rob – he’s such a funny guy.” Word. His quips are always sharp and fresh. And his facial expressions? they are innumerable and unexpected and should come with a Warning:  Don’t drink hot coffee or tea while watching Rob’s interviews, unless you want serious burns.

HTPA – Hobo Twins Power Activated:  explains the fascinating way of how Rob and Kristen can transform from looking like hobos most days to dazzling us mere mortals at red carpet events.

The Holy Day of the Leaked HB Photos - November 03, 2009. Undisclosed number of fangirls examined. Vitals unsteady. Average pulse rate: 120/bpm. Symptoms showed: uncontrollable jumping, shrieking, hyperventilating, grabbing a pillow a person anything one can shake, bursting into sobs, having the urge to call (asked who? somebody, anybody!), incoherent on the phone. After vitals stabilized, victims were seen smiling like idiots for hours.

hcb - hyperventilating can't breathe: happens now and then in the life of an ORD fellow and is basically not life-threatening (as long as you keep on breathing you’ll be fine).
