Eric often coins terms or turns-of-phrase that some people may not immediately understand. This page is a reference source for those. In this list we include more general topic areas that may at first cause confusion such as DISC, EGOs, GIN, Load-Bearing Fictions, etc., as well as many of Eric's lesser known neologisms and radical redefinitions.
