I wonder if this glossary would be Romy's approved ;-)) because as I have read, it describes many terms which are broadly used by reviewers, dealers and inmates (me myself use many of them), but perhaps Romy is right and some sound features are almost "invented" to impress the audience, but actually are meaningless.
