Fanatical Trektards speak a different language than the rest of society. To aid members of the general population who might be big enough gluttons for punishment to want to understand them, we present this helpful translation guide:

C

Censorship

Collapsing buildings
all thats needed for a BDZ to turn a city covered planet's surface to slag

something that can be completely ommited if doing so helps the Trektard's argument/not doing so blows said argument out of the water. However, if a warsie leaves out the slightest bit of information when quoting, even if it has no bearing on the topic being discussed, its a delibrate lie.
Diluting the original issue
Pointing out where the Trekkie has made logical errors on a sentence by sentence basis, thereby diluting his post by "trivial quotation tactics."[7]

O

Override canon
not mention at all. (note, in SW, there is a hierarchy to deal with explicit contradictions in canon material. Many trektards (Andrew Joshua Talon, Husker (DM) Jay) try and claim this applies to topics the higher canon is completely silent on. In other words, if the C- or S- canon mentions a particular capability and the films say nothing about it, the Trektards interpret said silence as a contradiction.)

P

Theory
  1. anything that gives the trektard wet dreams, even though it isn't even defined.[21]

Tool
proving the trektard is lying through his teeth.
Topple
cannot logically mean "got one's foot stuck"[23]

U

Universal
selective quotations of a source. (Example: JMSpock attempts to use the half-dozen categories listed in the "SW vs ST in Five Minutes"[24] essay to prove Mike thinks the Empire has universal advantage over the Star Trek universe
Unquantifiable mechanism
a mechanism that the trektard is certain has positive energy output, thereby lowering the energy requirement of the superlaser.

V

Variable
so thoroughly consistent that a reliable time estimate can be generated.[25]
