I rather like that XD Hrmn... Been thinking about medical terms for Ragdoll's... -"Brittling" or "The Brittles" would be an affliction where the metal of the doll has somehow become fractured in innumerable places, almost to the point of being unfixable. One could gain Brittles by either age, a severe blunt injury, or by being exposed to severe heat and then very quickly being exposed to severe cold (like jumping out of a burning building and then into the snow, or something). -"Rusting" "Oxidization" or "Water-log Syndrome" is, as you probably guessed, rusting of the mechanical parts of a stitchpunk. It is very hard to treat in entirety, but will more than likely affect a ragdoll at some point in their life, usually within older age. Anima with copper builds will be most noticeable, as their metal slowly begins to turn green. -"Tethering" "Fading" or "Unraveling" are all commonly used terms for cloth that has become worn, torn, and frayed over time. In older, well built anima, the cloth merely sags, creating a stretched out appearance (which can be fixed artificially by redoing stitches), but in others, especially those with cotton or thin polyester skins, the cloth begins to completely unravel, requiring a patch, or sometimes, a complete replacement. It is also, usually, a eventuality for most ragdolls. -"Sporadic Static Syndrome (SSS)" or being "Magnetized" is a condition had by long-time magnet users. This is where the data in the mind of the stitchpunk is effectively "scrambled" due to the magnetic or metal components in their brain eventually either distorting, rearranging, or reconfiguring. This can cause either simple memory lapses or can go as far as to cause an incapacitated mental state. In these extreme cases, the subjects usually have largely dilated eyes and peering into them would reveal a faint array of colors and static. -"Fried" is another drug-related condition were a Jolt user has overdosed on a charge. Instead of being killed, however, a part of their circuitry becomes fried, leading to either permanently dilated or contracted optics, paralyzed limbs, or even mental disability. -"Zapped/Zapping" is a term used for an anima who's been somehow disabled by drug use. Ex: "He used to be a great inventor, but now... now he just sits there, zapped."
...Of course I go back to the drug related terms X3;;

Silky could mean a doll that can't or wont fight, or a soft natured doll, since silk isn't known for its strength.
This could also be an insult meaning coward, weakling, or pretty-boy.
Example 1: Yeah, she may look fierce, but she's a silky at heart.
or
Ex 2: You silky son-of-a-seamstress! Where'd you run off to when we needed you?!?
or
Ex 3: Bet you're too much of a silky to go into that ruin by yourself.
A couple other things maybe:
threadnapped - to be tied up and taken against your will, either by a seamstress or another stitchpunk
ragsy - an adjective used to describe a rugged, outdoorsey, or possibly accident prone stitchpunk
to shut down - to faint or pass out, used by 19 to describe her narcoleptic episodes
"Yo mamma was a seamstress!" - kinda self explanitory
Vamily - used by a few of V's creations to describe their relation to each other

Cub... I have to say thanks.
Now I have a mental image of 47 yelling "LAUNDRY PILE!" just before tackle/charge/glomping somebody.
Contribution... contribution...
-Static: Equals crazy. Can be used affectionately or insultingly. IE: "Everybody loves the static redhead." or "You static traitor!"
-A few wires short...: Refers to someone who is, for whatever reason, not quite there. Temporarily or permanently.
-What crawled in your fabric and rusted?: Very unimaginative stitchpunk version of "What crawled up your butt and died?"
-Swift, swifted: A term that may see use from more superstitious stitchpunks. Sort of like being 'taken by spirits', and is rumored to happen in the Hospital and Woods.
As 47 explains it:
"It's like getting Threadnapped but with more evil."
-Dark, Darks: Refers to evil spirits; again, not too often used of a term, but most stitchpunks are pretty scared of them (depending on how much they believe in them). Another use for the word might be "Man, you look like you just saw a Dark." The related term Darknest means, essentially, haunted house, and Shaded means possessed. (Naturally, these terms are most common among the superstitious, and there are many who don't hold with that nonsense...)
And, not sure if it helps, but I have some superstitions~
Don't worry, they're all perfectly... unconfirmed.
-Voodoo Doll: A rumor that a beautiful stitchpunk made of midnight-black silk tries to get people to come with her- to accept is to get Swifted. The Voodoo Doll is essentially the stitchpunk Bogeyman, and stories vary on it. Some say it's male, others say there's two of them, sometimes it's a white or silvery stitchpunk, and other times it's wearing some sort of necklace. Just as varied are the stories of what it- or they- do to its victims once it catches them; most say it turns into a beast and eats them.
-Consuming Forest: Even among superstitious or excitable stitchpunks, this one is not often believed, but almost everybody knows it. If you go into the forest at night... well, let me put it this way, you won't be seeing the light of day.
EVER AGAIN.
-Lesser Superstitions: Little rumors that everybody knows, but few really believe have any power. Don't talk in a building with a hole in the roof, because something with malicious intent will hear and cause you trouble, if you trip over a tomb/gravestone/corpse you need to bow three times to whoever you just tripped on or they'll haunt you, the graveyard at night is a bad place, sewers are unlucky, the forest is worse, and the factory is just plain horrible for fortune and in any other sense of the word.
Wiser stitchpunks are always quick to reprimand their excitable allies once they catch someone talking about this nonsense- after all, Darks don't exist...
They hope.
Haha... I'm a huge supernatural/horror fan, so I couldn't help but throw in some superstitions to the stitchpunk culture. Though, like superstitions in today's culture, I assume there are a lot out there that would disregard them as wives' tales.

I was rather proud of that one.
And the Voodoo Doll.
Even stitchpunks need a bogeyman, right?
Besides, now we can have over-the-top superstitious and/or paranoid people!

The voodoo doll turning into a beast... maybe 667 wasn't the first able to do that.
Superstitions and ghost stories, huh? I wanna try a few.
The Clampyers: Superstition has it that if a dead/soul sucked stitchpunk isn't buried properly, then on the thirteenth night its body may rise and seek out living stitchpunks in order to drink the oil from their bodies using their exeptionally long hollow claws. If you're drained by one, you lose your free soul as well. They are a corruption of Vampire myths.
The Nonmade: They say at certain places, there are still the souls of humans who failed in transferring their souls to stitchpunk form, stuck forevermore in limbo, neither dead nor living. They are said to haunt the labs, the outskirts, and the emptiness. They seek bodies to inhabit, whether or not they're already taken. The more suspicious say that they can only be sensed by the chill that goes down your frame when they come close. Look in a mirror if you feel the chill, is it moving as you are...? If not, then cover your mouth and close your eyes, or you may be replaced.... Some believe that if a stitchpunk suddenly acts different than what it used to, or suffers total memory loss for an unknown reason, their soul has been replaced by an Nonmade.
The Cheshire killer - Another name for Mirrorjaws, as the mirrors probabbly reflect light when he doesn't, giving him the look of a disembodied smile.
Barbie brides - They say near churches and possibly in the outskirts there are plastic dolls that have been posessed by the souls of brides whom were killed on their wedding day. They say that they are searching for their grooms, but will make a groom out of any stitchpunk. What happens to those dolls whom are caught by them? Theories vary, but one thing is for certain, they are never seen again. Run at the first sight of a Barbie bride, or you may never be seen again.
I dunno. May think of something later.
