I'm pleased to share with everyone that my mother has finally created an account on rDrama.net! In celebration of this I wanted to ease her transition away from her only relevant experience of using reddit, so with the help of HeyMoon from his query of frequent drama and net terms, I've attempted to add quick definitions for all the main terms.
I left them ranked in frequency of use as that seems most appropriate for someone unfamiliar, but I did shuffle a couple words around to group similar terms and I also separated out both drama-exclusive terms as well as frequently mentioned names/users at the bottom
As such, here is the rough draft! Any feedback is welcome. I'm trying to keep it as short and concise as possible but open to any additions or better definitions. They're mostly colored with my own bias so I'm not pitching this as a definitive reference.

chud - Various meanings depending on context, most often: 1) a conservative republican 2) Someone who holds overt prejudice views 3) a person who is considered to be ignorant or reactionary

snappy - a bot that archives snapshots of (often) deleted post on drama for posterity and generates a comment randomly from a pool of saved comments called "snappy quotes" which were saved usually from funny threads. Sometimes the comments appear way too relevant to the contents of the posts, which leads rdrama users to accuse the bot of being "sentient" or some derivative of the term.

LLM - short for @LandlordMessiah, a prolific inflammatory poster/commenter on rdrama who's name originates from him popularizing a drama-created troll subreddit /r/loveforlandlords.
