While a glossary may seem silly in some respects, Brainpan Leakage has some readers who are not yet familiar with the Rowan Gant Investigations. In addition, there are several readers from countries other than the United States, and naturally, states other than Missouri. Therefore, in the interest of making things a bit easier on those readers, this glossary has been created. Some of the terms defined here may seem obvious to one segment of the BL readership, while to others they may not. It is my hope that by having this page, it will make life a bit easier for those who are unfamiliar with characters, places, terminology, and other colloquialisms used in the entries.

This page will be dynamic, with entries being added as necessary, and perhaps even removed if deemed no longer requisite. Readers should feel free to make constructive suggestions for additions to the BL glossary. Simply contact me at mrsellars@sbcglobal.net.

Thanks for reading!
