Chapter 5: References

~AU~AU~AU~AU~AU~AU~

This story was mostly based in the Arrowverse with DCU elements. However, I did some world building as well. My military training taught me to provide a reference for acronyms and unfamiliar terms. This is slightly more than that.

I addressed the possible difference in culture by identifying idioms, slang, military slang, and referencing them here. This way when you see a phrase you don't get... 'cherry pick' or 'par for the course'... You can look it up here to try and figure out what the intent is behind the phrase. This will help you understand my local culture.

References is the section where other works are identified. If you want to know more, you can look them up.

Acronyms, Terms, Translations, Idioms, Slang… is broken down by alphabetically. For foreign words, it is their Latin pronunciation. I apologize for butchering Arabic.
