Country/southern slang and vernacular-
This is what I’m going with for the title as honestly I’m not sure what else you would call it, but it is also linked to class a little bit? It’s complicated. Anyways, surprised I haven’t done one like this sooner as I’ve done:
JD slang. 60s slang. Rodeo terms
However, it can’t include everything! As usual take this as a jumping off point, it’s funny as Oklahoma is technically southern, culturally and such. Some are sourced from general knowledge, others from southern or “Oklahoma slang” which heavily overlaps but is more accented.
A lot of this ended up actually being more writing accented speech with some slang thrown in, a lot of it is about contractions! Also word usage! They’ll be a more “general grammar” and accent section at the bottom.

Grammar-
The more I added to the list the more I realized writing for the gang is just as much learning to write accent than it is slang, it’s the way they talk and that includes grammar etc. Im going to try and explain some points that I’ve noticed in an understandable way, but it’s also important to note that these rules don’t apply every time necessarily.
Using the wrong word
less words in certain sentences (ex. Don’t mean nothin’)
With above, fewer words to describe things.
Drop the G occasionally (ex. Nothin’ )
Adding ‘d instead of saying ‘would (ex. Soda’d)
Real> really (descriptive)
Anybody > anyone
Weren’t typically goes with a double negative ( ex. weren’t nothing we could do)
Use of ‘you’ (used instead of a name or ‘your’)
Use of ‘was’ instead of ‘were’ ( ex. I knew you was)
Both Aren’t and isn’t become ain’t (sometimes even more)
A LOT OF CONTRACTIONS
Combing words - either a new contraction or new spelling to emphasize accent, especially around questions (ex. ja'eet yet?)
Use of expressions/idioms (ex. That dog won’t hunt)

Tron dictionary: update
I just about have everything organized, the way I’m going to post is by category rather than alphabetical. It is designed to be editable so if there’s a term I haven’t included let me know at any time!
I still would like some video game related stuff, there’s a bunch of jobs and items that have somewhat been absorbed into the larger fandom. I have absolutely no clue of any of it, I haven’t played any game beyond the literal arcade cabinet (which is actually pretty hard)
Also video game terminology in general! I think people forget just how much arcades and game video game cabinets shaped the original film (like all the vehicles canonically being from games) so terms like ‘frame rate’ etc the more technical stuff would also be great to include alongside computing terms.

So I watched that one live action SCP film and I just wanna say that i absolutely lost my mind when I saw that version of 049. Then i proceeded to watch every other SCP live action w/ 049, 035 and others I could get my greedy hands on. Let's just say my sleep schedule has gone to shit❤️
ALSO Y'ALL WONT BELIEVE IT, BUT I'M WORKING ON PART 2 OF THE COMIC!!!! I'll post a wip when I receive my new tablet on Friday <3 thanks for all of your support!! I've crept back into my SCP phase just for you guys

Another time in HITMAN III, instead of the guard saying
“Yeah, I bet you like that, huh pretty boy?”
while he frisked me, he said
“Yeah, I bet you like that, huh cueball?”
And I thought he was just choosing a new gay slur, but I’d never heard that word used as slang, so I looked it up on Urban Dictionary, and nope:

i’m just dropping by and i wanna rant a bit about just how much i hate that people have turned the word “narcissistic” into a synonym for toxic or abusive. even if we’re ignoring the ableism towards people with NPD (which we shouldn’t), people are still not using the term correctly? they’re not evening referring to someone who is egotistical or selfish, they’re just straight up using that word for any person who slightly pisses them off.

Cursed thought
“To infinity and beyond” is a genuine program saying
There’s multiple potential meanings for the saying, just like “circuits” can apply to a lot of different things in the digital world. We can start simple simply by defining “Infinity” which is not quite heaven but more of an Olympus- a place on top of the mountain, somewhere beyond our skies. It’s probably less of a physical place to programs but that Users come from literal infinity a place beyond numbers, math and logic — the core tenants of their understanding etc
It’s less “you get rewarded and go there when you die” and more “the gods of creation spawned and wrote us out of it”
Potential meanings to the phrase
A way to express grief. Energy gets recycled into the system and reused by everyone and everything on a programs deresolution. So hoping they travel so far as infinity is a nice gesture
Basically the program equivalent of “to the end of the line”
Counterpart vows! Their relationships aren’t exactly like ours, they’re deeper and marriage isn’t really a thing but bonding literal code is a serious commitment so vowing to follow and be with each other “to infinity and beyond” is a really sweet idea?
This was meant to be silly but then thinking about it, it’s actually a really touching phrase taking on the implications of it. Also I think Sam would absolutely lose his shit if he stayed long enough to take in program vernacular.

Remembering that time I almost had to explain to my Spanish teacher that the reason why I already knew the word for head (cabeza) is because I wanted to translate "I'm gonna kick your... HEAD!" ("Voy a patear su... ¡CABEZA!")

I swear to God the fact that frulleboi was releasing a comic FOR FREE and bitches harassed them about not updating enough when last time I check they....
Uploaded weekly
God even if they uploaded monthly or every few months some of you people need to grow the fuck up and learn to wait instant gratification culture has ruined a good lot of people
