Cubing Terms Dictionary

[The Blockhead]

Hello all! So I was thinking that I could work with the community of the SpeedSolving Forum and beyond to possibly create a dictionary that compiles all (or at least most) cubing terms and their meanings. Obviously, I will not be able to create them all by myself, so I will need your help. If you have any definitions that you are willing to submit, then, by all means, submit them, but make sure that definition is not already posted. If you find a definition for a word that is incorrect, or it is possible to extend that definition, or that term has another meaning that is completely unrelated, then these are exceptions. I am looking for very detailed, but relatively concise definitions. You may post as many terms as you would like, and these do include the names of famous people, methods, acronyms, cubing-related companies, and anything else that you find necessary. If I find that it works, then I will add it to the dictionary. Thank you!

Where do I post it? In this thread?

1. LBL = layer by layer

2. Fridrich's Method = fast mainstream LBL method

3. CFOP = Center, F2L, OLL, PLL

4. OLL = Orientation of Last Layer

5. Feliks Zemdegs = arguably the most legendary cuber ever, holding dozens of WRs over his career thus far

6. Ortega Method = a method for the 2x2 that consists of first layer, second layer, and PBL invented by Mr. Ortega

7) PBL = Permute both layers

This dictionary project already exists. It was actually extremely well developed at the time, although it kind of died two years ago.

ok. so if we continued with this project, then would it still be against us in some way? Because this is a Google document, while I'm creating a website for it.

The in CFOP stands for Cross, not Center. The Ortega correction is accurare as well.

We should try to make that a bit more up to date.

Guys please only post a definition if you actually know what the term means.

Also - this has been done many times before, maybe you can find an old list and update it. The list @DGCubes posted for example

well the only way that I can update the page DGCubes posted is for him or whoever is in charge of it will have to invite me to become a contributor so I can actually update it, because as of now I can only view it.
