      Glossary of Terms Commonly Used in Sliders and DIY Self Hacks:

      1. Sitch: the situation
      2. Sauce: some amount of verbal or attitudinal pushback (usually vitriolic etc)
      3. Buttons: as in "someone pushing your buttons;" synonymous with triggers
      4. Meta: sliders use metaphors, often in order to generalize to multiple sitches. So if you are 'missing the meta' that usually means you are being too literal, cynical, critical, skeptical, not-open minded, and generally not generalizing the basic utility of the slider enough, etc.
