Welcome to the most excellent (and only) glossary of the Stammtisch Beau Fleuve!

We define or expand over 32200 terms, last I checked, often with relevant hyperlinks to external sites or cross-references. Overall, there are over 1.65 links per entry. (The alphabetic-only entries alone number more than 263, the number of distinct three-letter acronyms, but due to multiple senses for some combinations and also to the occurrence of acronyms with more or less than precisely three letters, plenty of TLA's are undefined. Rest assured, we're working to correct this problem.) Be the first person in your state to read all the entries! (And you'll be in such a state!) Choose any of the options below.

Options:

  1. Visit a whole large segment of the glossary.

    2. All entries beginning with a particular letter, or the segment with all the numerical entries. Note that many of these are very big files -- up to 400K of text alone.

    A . B . C . D . E . F . G . H . I . J . K . L . M . N . O . P . Q . R . S . T . U . V . W . X . Y . Z . Numbers . Þ (``thorn'')

  2. Visit a smaller piece of the glossary.

    3. These are around 40K in size. First choose the initial letter:

    A . B . C . D . E . F . G . H . I . J . K . L . M . N . O . P . Q . R . S . T . U . V . W . X . Y . Z . Numbers . Þ (``thorn'')

    4. Disclaimer: You can't trust anything I write, here or in the glossary. If you screw up because you believed me, it's your fault. Especially, however, beware my judgments (guesses, more often) of what is common, popular, or available; they are at best temporarily valid. I didn't write this document today, or omnisciently, and Science Marches On.

    If you don't like this disclaimer, you can read the General Disclaimer for the FREE Internet Encyclopedia, which we have nothing to do with. But it applies as well.
