Introduction

I've listed some of most commonly confused terms used in my stories below.

Terms

Xtreme Strength

A woman is categorised as possessing 'Xtreme Strength' if she is significantly stronger than any normal woman could possibly be. Often, such girls are millions, billions or trillions of times stronger than the strongest man in the world. Sometimes, they even possess truly infinite strength, meaning that there is no feat of strength that they cannot easily achieve.

Treacle

I've put this word into the encyclopedia because it seems some of you folks don't know what it means. Treacle is a bit like honey, but is much more sugary, and the American term is 'molasses.' The reason I mention this is because sometimes the girls in my stories smear metal like it was treacle, so I guess it kind of helps to know what the stuff is! ;)

Billion/trillion/quadrillion

Again, there's some confusion over the definition of the term 'billion'. For the purposes of my stories, I'm using the American definition, that is: a billion is 1,000,000,000. Furthermore, a trillion is 1,000,000,000,000 and a quadrillion is 1,000,000,000,000,000.

1 Tonne

Defined to be a thousand kilograms, or about 2,200 pounds.

Duranium

A fictional super strong metal which is a thousand times stronger than titanium. First invented by Dr J. Edgar towards the end of the year 2170.

Nanotubes

In real life, carbon can be arranged into nanotubes to make it hundreds of times stronger than steel. In the Xtreme Strength universe, duranium can also be arranged into nanotubes to make it ten thousand times stronger than normal. Thus, a lump of duranium can be made over ten million times stronger than the equivalent block of titanium.

Centre

Like "center", but spelt correctly. ;)
