Okay, I see that a lot of people don't seem to know what certain words mean in our Petz world. So now I'm composing a list, to list them all, because I'm getting a little tired of hearing people ask what "meez", "tamsin", and, in our case, "corrupted thread" are
Okay, here we go. If you have any words that aren't too common, tell me and I'll add them to the list. (Warning: I put a few silly things in there
