PUALINGO

Acknowledgments
Casual and I started this journey to document the entire universe of Pickup Artist lingo back in 2008. We were driven by a desire to organize non-commercialized and unbiased information regarding the ideas and breakthroughs of our community. At the time, we would have never guessed that it would become one of the most popular PUA websites in the world. Lingo in its purest form is the expression of an idea. It is further filtered into context by language, cultural, and tribal context. It is no more, and no less, than that. We hope you take pleasure reading the concepts that help define our community and appreciate the concepts for what they are: beautiful ideas in seduction. We want to thank Orbitor, Seven, Wanderer PUA, Borodin, Lyricx, DJ Fuji, Johnny Wolf, Grape, and many others who submitted to us new words and terms we have missed. A great thank you to all of our loyal readers! Sincerely, Alpha and Casual
