== A ==
* '''[[Styles Of Play#A|A]]''' - A style of play where you have 1 string trick yo-yo.* '''[[Styles Of Play#AA|AA (double A)]]''' - A style of play where you have 2 looping yo-yos.* '''[[Styles Of Play#AAA|AAA (triple A)]]''' - A style of play where you have 2 string trick yo-yos.* '''[[Styles Of Play#Offstring|AAAA (4A)]]''' - See [[#O|offstring]].* '''[[Styles Of Play#Freehand|AAAAA (5A)]]''' - A style of play where you have 1 string trick yo-yo and a counterweight.* '''[[String Gap|Adjustable Gap]]''' - A yo-yo that can be made more or less responsive (easier or more difficult to return to the hand) by decreasing or increasing the string gap, usually done by twisting the yo-yo halves.* '''[[Styles Of Play#AP|AP]]''' - Artistic performance division. In an AP competition, the player goes not for technical skill but for art. I don't know much about it so I hope someone who does will update.* '''[[Axles|Axle]]''' - The whole yo-yo world spins around this.
== B ==
* '''[[Ball Bearings|Ball Bearing]]''' - The type of transaxle bearing that usually provides the least friction.* '''[[Bind]]''' - Wrapping some extra string into the string gap in order to make a non-responsive yo-yo return.* '''[[Shapes|Butterfly (shape)]]''' - Wide yo-yo shape usually chosen for string tricks.
== C ==
* '''Chinese yo-yo''' - Chinese variant of the diabolo, traditionally made of wood, but more modern models are usually plastic. Most versions make a whistling noise when spun. Despite its name, it is not a yo-yo in the western sense at all. See the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_yo-yo Wikipedia article on chinese yo-yos].
* '''[[Styles Of Play#Freehand|Counterweight (style of yo-yoing)]]''' - A style where you tie a [[Counterweights|counterweight]] to the end of the [[string]] where your finger would normally go.
* '''[[Counterweights|Counterweight]]''' - Used in [[Styles Of Play#Freehand|freehand]] play, tied to the non-yo-yo end of the [[String|string]].
== D ==
* '''[[String#Stringing Your Yo-yo|Double Loop(ing)]]''' - Method of stringing your yo-yo.
== E ==
== F ==
* '''[[Axles|Fixed Axle]]''' - An axle that doesn't have a transaxle or ball bearing on it. Just the bare string on metal, wood, etc.
* '''[[Response Systems#Friction Stickers|Friction Stickers]]''' - Round adhesive stickers that add [[Response Systems|response]] to a yo-yo.
* '''Freegen''' - A [[Styles Of Play#Freehand|freehand]] manoeuver in which the sleeping yo-yo is caused to begin winding where, when the yo-yo is aproximatly half wound, the counterweight is released and the momentum of the counterweight in synchonation with the winding of the yo-yo causes the spin to be regenerated.
* '''Frontstyle''' - Tricks and mounts done from a straight sleeper, such as [[Undermount|the undermount]].
== G ==
* '''[[String Gap|Gap]]''' - The space between the yo-yo halves.
== H ==
* '''[[Halves]]''' - Usually two round discs, in which the yo-yo stores all its inertia.* '''[[Response Systems#Hybrid Response Systems|Hybrid (Response)]]''' - Mixture of different [[Response Systems|response systems]].
== I ==
* '''[[Shapes|Imperial (shape)]]''' - Classic yo-yo shape* '''[[Inner Ring Grind]]''' - A type of grind where a finger, usually the thumb, is inserted into the side of the yo-yo half, allowing the yo-yo to grind on your nail.
== J ==
== K ==
* '''[[Ball Bearings#KonKave|KonKave Bearing]]''' - A bearing with a concave profile to keep the string centered.
== L ==
* '''[[Ball Bearings#Lubricating|Lube]]''' - Lubricant applied to a transaxle yo-yo on the ball bearing or bearing sleeve.
== M ==
* '''[[Ball Bearings#Special Bearings|Mercury Bearing]]''' - A bearing sold pre-cleaned.* '''[[Yo-yos#Modifications|Mod]]''' - A modification made to a stock yo-yo, usually to change its response or looks.* '''[[Shapes|Modified (shape)]]''' - This shape is often used to make a yo-yo good for string ''and'' loopin
== N ==
== O ==
* '''[[Offstring]]''' - A style of yo-yoing where the yo-yo is not tied to the string.* '''[[Response Systems#O-Rings|O-Rings]]''' - Rubber rings attached to the inner wall of the yo-yo around the axle.
== P ==
* '''[[P213]]''' - A yo-yo with the tip of a spin top added to one or both sides.* '''[[String#Materials|Poly]]''' - Yo-yo string made with 100% polyester string. Good for high humidity, whiter than cotton.
== Q ==
== R ==
* '''[[Response Systems#Recessing|Recessed]]''' - A [[Response Systems|response system]] that is inset into the yo-yo half, so that it is flush with the wall.* '''[[Response Systems|Response System]]''' - What makes the yo-yo return to your hand.* '''[[Rim Protectors]]''' - Rubber Rings that fit around the yo-yo halves, to protect them from scratches, e.g. while [[Walk the Dog|Walking the Dog]].* '''[[Rim Weight]]''' - This is the amount of weight found around the outer rim of the yo-yo; generally, the more rim weight that there is on the outer rim, the longer the yo-yo will spin.
== S ==
* '''Sidestyle''' - Tricks or mounts done from a [[Breakaway|breakaway]], such a [[Man on the Flying Trapeze|Trapeze]].
* '''[[Response Systems#Silicone O-Rings|Silicone]]''' - A material used in response systems. Often added as a [[Yo-yos#Modifications|mod]].
* '''[[Shims]]''' - Little spacers used to widen the string [[String Gap|gap]]
* '''[[Sleeve bearing]]''' - Usually a plastic sleeve that revolves around a metal axle to reduce friction and increase spin time.
* '''[[String#Materials|Slick]]''' - String made of polyester and cotton. Depending on thickness also called Slick 6 or Slick 8.
* '''[[Ball Bearings#Cleaning|Sonic Cleaner]]''' - An ultrasonic bath used for thorough cleaning (in this case for bearings).
* '''[[Response Systems#Starbursts|Starburst]]''' - A star shaped pattern around the axle which acts as a [[Response Systems|response system]].
* '''[[String]]''' - The string usually ties the yo-yo to your finger unless you are doing freehand or offstring.
== T ==
* '''[[Response Systems#Thick Lubrication|Thick Lube]]''' - Thick lubricant applied to a transaxle yo-yo to make them more reponsive.
* '''[[Ball Bearings#Lubricating|Thin Lube]]''' - Oil applied to a transaxle yo-yo.
* '''[[Inner Ring Grind|Thumb Grind]]''' - A type of grind, see Inner Ring Grind for more info.
* '''Transaxle''' - Any form of bearing that reduces friction. This includes sleeve bearings and ball bearings.
== U ==
== V ==
== W ==
* '''[[Axles#Waxing|Wax]]''' - Wooden axles can be waxed to reduce friction.* '''[[Weight Rings]]''' - Weight rings can be attached to the halves to make the yo-yo heavier, usually in order to make it spin longer.* '''[[World Yo-Yo Contest|WYYC]]''' - World Yo-Yo Contest
== X ==
== Y ==
* '''[[Yo-yos|Yo-Yo]]''' - Cool little spinning thingy. For detailed info see [[Yo-yos]].
== Z ==
