Please provide a list of terms (and their meanings if possible) which people use a lot in Codeforces but normal people won't understand :P This will help newbies learn the way of life here :P

Permutation is not just a normal permute of math it's $$$N$$$ numbers that consist of any permute of $$$1$$$ to $$$N$$$.

The Output is Case Sensitive which means that you should print the word with put in your mind the difference between Capital and small letter Alphabet.

Brute-Force I don't know actually what the origin of this term in programming but as CP's we use it to refer to the primitive naive solution. as you treat the problem brutally. (Which okay in sometimes XD).

I will hack you this term is funny for me actually cause if you said it outside CP community that will be offensive in someway.
