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

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