I think I've been pretty comprehensive so far, but there are still gaping holes. Holes that I need filled, specifically by people who were at NWA and BCA.
Here are some things which need clarification:
1. A full description of teams, their structure, their naming convention, how they play the role as a "phased" or "level" system.
2. A detailed as you can get account of the full-time like restriction that involved having the student stay outside in a tent instead of the dorms. I read a thread a while back that said that someone was on one for almost a year, if memory serves.
3. Anything else... new terms, corrections on other things, is also greatly appreciated.
Have at it, ladies.

Also of special interest, through a reliable source, I discovered something rather fucked up regarding our alleged "nap time" in propheets. It's under the propheet entry.
I dunno, maybe it's common knowledge to everyone else, but it surprised me. It makes sense, though. There was just no way we would have been able to get all of that shit done if we were allowed an hour nap.

phrase: 'get honest'
usually told to a student who is trying to be vulnerable and have self pride or self respect. if a student got too self assured in a rap, they were often told to, 'get honest' and start talking about something that made them feel uncomfortable or shameful.
i think the list should have a lot more stuff on it that was from propheets and workshops. out the fuckers.

what did they call the time you had to yourself? there was a phrase for it.. personal time or something nazi like that? like as if all my time were not my own by right, but only the time they dole out...

Teams were a system of organization applied to staff and students, which coexisted with the peer group and phase systems (phases applied to students only).
Teams were lead by a team leader and an assistant team leader, who were both senior staff members, and were composed of students and staff at different points of the program. Each team was therefor a cross section of the school. Teams were primarily used for dividing the school into large non - hierarchical units for purposes such as chores and activities.
At NWA in the late 90s there were three teams which were named for stellar formations: Polaris, Phoenix, and Orion, which were male only, female only, and coed respectively (though staff could be on any team regardless of gender).

Submitted. I had heard of tent restrictions, but don't remember seeing any. Any chance this could be a confused reference to ascent?

thanks psi, and thanks for adding it to the wiki

what did they call the time you had to yourself? there was a phrase for it.. personal time or something nazi like that? like as if all my time were not my own by right, but only the time they dole out...
Do you mean a full time? Was this a form of punishment? At rma, we had full times where we had to sit at booths and do work details all day, while having writing and reading assignments.
Or do you mean a solo? i.e. what you did on your wilderness expeditions.

No problem. I should be spending more quality time with that wiki than I have been anyway. :D ::armed::

no i mean the time you got to like, read in the library, or go play music, or lay out in the sun or something. the little bit of 'fun' you were supposed to be going through all this torture to deserve.

Oh, you mean hiding out? Like, "you shouldn't be hiding out in the library." That's what we called it at RMA. And thanks for reminding me, I'd been meaning to put that in there.

Okay, here is the update:
The list is now up to 124 entries. Thanks to everyone for their contributions so far.
I have implemented alia's suggestions and also added several others I thought of, which includes terms, exercises and concepts from the propheets and workshops. I guess that really doesn't count as lingo per se, but I agree should be included.

I also added a sample schedule and agreement list that we get written in our notebooks for our full-times.
There is one thing I still REALLY need, and that is for someone from NWA to get their ass into this thread and give me as specific a low-down as you can on the tent restriction, including what its proper term is. I swear, I can't get a straight answer about this fucking thing.

Thanks,
