rag mags - tabloids and magazines that rehash and combine old interviews to make them appear "new"; the articles are usually full of misquotes, hearsays and unbelievable crap. Not to be taken seriously at any time.

A Ray-Ban is Not Enough - That’s why you need at least 16 pairs. For the blinding glare of pap lights, for the constant traveling, for the girlfriend who borrows, for any random person who may voraciously snatch it from your eyes. So yes Rob we understand, one Ray-Ban is not enough.

Rgasm – what one can likely experience every time photo shoot pictures of Rob are released, and you get a glimpse of The happy trail and then some Fruit of the Looms…

RKB - Rob Knows Best: Nobody gets to choose who Rob should date or who he should fall in love with. The guy has brains, please let him think for himself.

R/K-dar -  bleeps when there is something different in Rob’s or Kristen’s appearance no matter how tiny. It’s intrinsic and like one’s ESP, is cultivated  through shipping time. It triggers the Robsten Auto Zoom Function.

That's it! RSG - That's it! Rob is a Sex God: An ear-splitting cry *the good kind* in the Twi Kingdom when outtakes from Mark Segal's photoshoot were released. Yep, the one where Rob wore those low-riding sexweatpants. It reinforced Rob's place in the Hotness Scale (at the toppest top) spawned lots of wallpapers, banners and icons which made many fangirls' heartbeats erratic...from now till... indefinitely.

Roberto – is Robert Pattinson’s alter-ego. The one who says “I just love babies” to a crowd of a thousand ovulating fangirls is Roberto. The one who quips “Kristen’s pregnant” to a stunned Oprah - that’s him too. Recently, he nonchalantly revealed “No, we do it all the time. Every day.” (gulp) Basically it’s the Rob who forgets he’s on camera and will be quoted the next minute. Yep, the one that makes you go “Oh Roberto” (sigh along with KStew).

Robisms – Life according to Robert Thomas Pattinson a.k.a. the guy who plays the world’s most squeed-for vampire, a.k.a the lad who stole a certain Valley Girl’s heart (and 100 million others). Behind that bouffant or chia pet or sex hair is a fascinating brain. Anyone who looks that good must be a little wanting in the head right? Nope, not this one.  Do not let the boyish giggling fool you. A sampler of the constantly thinking mind from a  recent interview…  “… you have to figure out whether the way you think at 19 or 20 has any value. And eventually I understood, with all that control, which was probably illusory, I wasn't progressing. So now I'm relinquishing a bit. I'll be a tiny bit naked.”..."As an actor, you can elevate the human condition or cheapen it. I would assume it's the same with anything you do—you try to elevate and maybe someday you will."

RRS - Rob's Reassuring Smile: the smile that Kristen receives from Rob when she gets fidgety during awards shows and live interviews. All it takes is that singular smile from him and she is ready to take on her task.

RSSF - Rob's Secret Shoe Fetish: Well how'd you know, Rob has a shoe fetish and we just noticed it! Oh not for those black Nikes no. But the likes of what Kristen wore at the VMAs. Those shoes, yes, he likes them a lot. And what goes on in that mind when he's ogling looking? It can be a little more or less like This.

RTFG - Rob's Two Finger Grasp : The sexy, sensual and totally distracting way Rob handles microphones, water bottles, beer bottles, coffee cups, cigarettes, sunglasses, awards and pretty much any object lucky enough to end up trapped in this patented Two Finger Grasp.

Robstendom - Robsten Kingdom: where all R/K shippers dwell.

Robstenlandia - that magical place where one can visit to escape life's chaos and where fairy dusts of Robsten love and happiness abound.

Robstens - a group of people who believe in Robsten; a.k.a. R/K shippers.

RAZF – Robsten Auto Zoom Function: shipper eyes automatically zero in on every detail related to Rob and Kristen. Nothing ever goes unnoticed. The shipper eyes can spot a new ring or new jeans in seconds. It’s able to confirm in less than two minutes if  Kristen is wearing  the shirt worn a few days ago by Rob under a button down underneath a hoodie.  Layering and MQ photos are not at all a hindrance with the RAZF.

RB -Robsten Bubble: Rob and Kristen's propensity to give their full attention to each other, ignoring ( for a time) everyone else in the room. Sometimes conversing is done only with the eyes and knowing smiles. First famous public display was Comic Con 2008.

RCF - Robsten Closet Fans: people enamored by Robsten but would rather keep it a secret; are often lurkers only in Robsten blogs.

RIA - Robsten-Induced Autism: when one is in Robstenlandia there's a tendency to shut off everything else in the real world e.g. moms shouting, spouses talking etc.

RISO - Robsten Is So On: Rob and Kristen's chemistry and undeniable attraction speaks for itself.

Robsten Misery - Pertains to the period when Rob and Kristen are apart, causing some form of misery not only to the couple but to Robstens as well. An example is the period from June to late July 2009, when they were filming at opposite coasts i.e. Rob was in NY and Kristen was in LA.

Robsten Mystery - The mystery that begs the million-dollar question: Is Rob and Kristen really in a romantic relationship? This term is really for Doubstens; for them it's still a mystery since a CK hasn't been shown to the public yet. To Robstens the mystery is already solved: they're in love. But for Nonstens, there isn’t any mystery at all since Rob and Kristen are just good buddies/ platonic friends.

Robsten Myths - are widely circulated stories or beliefs involving Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart which are not yet proven to be true nor false due to lack of substantial evidence. Examples are: the Summit Conspiracy, the Virgin Atlantic Red Eye from LA, the Yankees Capgate, The Lingering Reunion Kiss.

Robsten SOP Look - the look exchanged by Rob and Kristen when they are about to present in an awards show. It's a Standard Operating Procedure really. Kristen searches for Rob and they share a look that is akin to a momentary Robsten Bubble. The millisecond eye contact somehow settles the nerves and makes quite anything achievable for our couple. This was particularly exhibited during the MTV Movie Awards '09 and the MTV Video Music Awards '09 when they presented the New Moon trailers.

The Robust Butt that Launched a Thousand Pervs Pics - There is definitely only one mortal who owns the title. And we thank you Rob for pointing out the obvious in the Twilight commentary. Duh. Now we cannot say robust without thinking of you and Kristen and that...derrière. While filming Eclipse, she was photographed strolling in VanCity sporting her trademark skinny jeans that all the more emphasized...errr the asset *pervy smirk*. Even Nikki's current squeeze was not spared from the temptation of gawking *down boy*...the wonder, the perfection. We can't blame him. Rob you are one lucky badass guy.

Robzaggeration – Rob’s propensity to have a slicker sense of humor than most people *insert Brit smirk*. Well, he is English and he likes Gervais.  He doesn’t flinch when he calls himself an idiot six times in a 2 minute interview. So when he says he is allergic to vajayjays, he doesn’t mean that he’s repressed or that he is gay. Repeat: Not. Gay. No need to panic, he’s just robzaggerating. Just plain old quirky humor. And if you don’t have one, better not take him too seriously.

ScruffRob - Usually only making an appearance in cooler seasons or when necessary in a professional setting, ScruffRob enhances his usual pantydrop stare to a level of maximum effect, forcing even the most neutral of Pattinson supporters to change their panties minds upon seeing the scruff gracing his chiseled jawline and chin.

SMSRT - Secret Male Society of Robsten Twilighters: male fans of Robsten (oh yeah they exist).

SEC - Sensual Eye Copulation: Intense and passionate looks shared by Rob and Kristen which reaffirms their ushc. Usually accompanied with mirroring and may cause hcb episodes (for them and the people who watch them).

SEF - Sensual Eye Fest: When there are far too many SECs in a day. Best examples are: Twilight Premiere in LA, ComicCon 2008 and 2009. A SEF usually involves RB moments too.

Shirtgate - Any controversy involving the sharing of shirts between Rob and Kristen. Usually a debate-inducing topic in the Twi Kingdom. Robstens prefer to believe that the couple do share shirts. Doubstens will only believe when there's proof that sharing really took place (e.g. a photo of one giving the other the shirt? ) while Nonstens will argue that friends buy the same type of shirts all the time or the shirt in question belongs to Nikki or an ex-boyfriend.

SFAN – So Far all’s been Awesome News:  We all know people are waiting for the big reveal of that super f*ckawesome news of KStew411. We are curious and excited too. But come to think of it, R/K  have been consistently giving us nothing but awesome news since their August ’09 LA reunion. Come take a trip down Robsten lane with us? The KOL AKP in August; A Bobby Long concert IHBC sighting and the appearance of the IRS and the Robsten SOP Look during the VMAs in September; the HB God of all Interviews and the innumerable Robsten Bubble during the NM promo tour that concluded with the epic I Wanna Hold Your Hand in Paris in November; Welcoming 2010 Together Together in Isle of Wight; Kristen bringing Kpride during StewDance and the BAFTAs and giving Rob something to YTMBA during the RM premiere up to the recent 20th birthday reunion in Budapest. Whew. Not to mention all the sightings of togetherness in bars, vintage shops and airports. So whatever this super f*ckawesome news is, we gotta be very healthy for it. Coz that would require some week-long DSDR we bet; and hcb’s that could be either good or bad for a shipper’s heart. But after all that we’ve been through, we’ve had lots of practice right? So bring it on! There can never be too many FERDs.

SWSD - So Worth the Sleep Deprivation: the ORD insomniac's mantra.

SZMP - Some Zipper's Magical Powers: during the recent VMAs, the cameras caught Kristen gazing longingly momentarily at Rob's zipper area. To explain further please read an interesting blow by blow *cough* Investigative Report by an ORD Secret Agent here.

squee - an ecstatic cry made by a fangirl.

StewDance - She came, she saw, she conquered! After two gritty and compelling performances from The Stew (a lost yet feisty teen and an iconic feral rock star) the 2010 Sundance Film Festival was unofficially dubbed as StewDance. Refreshing and gloriously sporting the de facto skinny jeans, knotted T and black hoodie, Kristen  impressed, stuttered, fidgeted, smiled, bitch-faced and emerged as the Queen of Sundance.

Stewgasm - a tingly feeling in your underbelly whenever Kristen Stewart flashes her beautiful smile, makes a witty retort, shows a MOFO her Bitchface, or simply does something amazetastic, often followed by a deep envy towards Robert Pattinson for experiencing Stewgasms on a daily basis.

Stewpefied– is what you feel after being bombarded with images of KStew being stunningly gorgeous. Your productivity is shot to hell. How can you possibly concentrate on work or school now? when you see endless legs her flawless self smiling, unknowingly beguiling, and her jaw-dropping, er, athletic prowess (...ok, you can pick it up from the floor now).

Stewie – Is how we call Kristen when she’s not looking. Nah. KStew is to RPattz as Stewie is to Flippy.

Sweetie C’mon – Was what we heard (alright lip read would be more accurate) Kristen say to the cockblocked confounded Rob after the famed non-kiss during the MTV Movie Awards 2009.

TV – Telepathetic Vibe : is what shippers unknowingly project when wishing for certain things related to R/K. Things that eventually come true e.g. pictures of Kristen with the Pattinsons, a  JodieStew reunion, R/K walking the red carpet together (well, almost...) Telepathetic because we feel pathetic wishing for something that’s a long shot but we do it anyway. The TV is especially strong when multiple shippers wish for the same things. Not to be confused with ESP.

TKLL - The Kristen Look of Love: when Kristen is caught looking adoringly or lovingly at Rob.

The Taylor - the only Taylor that belongs to Kristen - the acoustic guitar which was Rob's gift for her 18th birthday.

TNI - They're Not Interested: a reminder to not to bring up R/K in conversations with non-R/K fans.

TOR - Trastorno Obsesivo Robsten: ORD in Spanish.

Twitphobic – another proof why Kristen and Rob are a cut above the rest – Twitter does not make their life complete. Kristen herself attests she can live and will leave the house without her phone. How many nineteen year olds in this Social Networking Overkill World can say that? The only time she ever “twittered. Or twitted..tweeted? I dunno, but thank you sooo much anyway..!" was when she was forced asked by Summit to address the fans for the great opening weekend of New Moon via @Twilight. There are a gazillion Facebook and Twitter accounts claiming to be Kristen Stewart. Sigh, for millionth time, give it to them KStew.

ushc - undeniable super hot chemistry: Robsten has it.

UVOO - Unknowing Victims of ORD Overdrive: Usually friends and family of an ORD fellow who have had first hand encounters of the ORD symptoms. And to whom we express our apologies and gratitude :)

UFR - Unwavering Faith in Robsten: No matter the odds, the lack of official confirmation and persistent annoying false write-ups, the ORD's default state is this - an utter faith in Robsten.

Vanity Fail -Is it possible for one thoughtless write up (December 2009 issue to be precise) to bring down this magazine from the ORD pedestal? Unfortunately Yes. They do take some lovely pretties but an irresponsible article mars the whole picture.

Vanity Fair Robsten - that photo shoot in November '08 that goes down in Robsten history as one of the first FERDs; that hour-long behind-the-scenes coverage which is hands down one of the best R/K videos around.

WTYS - We Told You So: We don't want to say it but....WTYS, RISO!

Welcoming 2010 Together Together -  After one of the fandom's worst Ransom and Stewie dry spells and weeks of intense deliberation of "Where the Heck is Hobo Waldo?" and "Is Flippy hiding Stewie inside the Beanie to sneak her into England?" the speculation came to a climactic end just in time to ring in 2010 where a lucky girl sporting a kick ass tee scored pictures with our favorite hooded hobos somewhere in an island off the southern coast of England. The fandom generally agrees that this is by far the most epic of all epic FERDs to date as it proves beyond reasonable doubt that R/K are together, like Together Together * bless you Jessica*. Sadly, the much depleted and demoralized Nonstens still hang on to their denial for dear life with sad excuses such as "Kristen has no friends in LA so she's stalking Rob in England", "those pictures were obviously photoshopped" and "I travel to spend Holidays with male friends in other countries all the time - it doesn't mean anything!". Rob say it for us: Pfft!

YTMBA – You Take My Breath Away: Yes it’s another song (so what? suck it we’re too happy to care) and  it’s the only thing that went playing in our minds when we saw this during the Remember Me premiere on May 1,  2010 in New York. Wait, why is Kristen in New York again? Because she’s the greatest girlfriend in the world that’s why.
