GLOSSARY


This a kind of glossary, with a few rare words, abbreviations and idioms, well just one of each I didn't understand when I read them for first time.
1.-Sophomore year: Tenth grade, (called Grade 10 in some regions, also known as sophomore year in the U.S.) is a year of education in the United States and many other nations.
2.-ACC: The Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) is a collegiate athletic league in the United States. Founded in 1953, the ACC's twelve member universities compete in twenty sports in the NCAA's Division I. Football teams participate in the Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), the higher of two levels of Division I college football.
3.-"freeze-out": As in one of the paragraphs of the post below says -This led to a so called "freeze-out" on Jordan, where players refused to pass him the ball throughout the game.- My opinion about this expression is that the most close translation to Spanish is: "Le aplicaron la ley del hielo" and http://www.answers.com/topic/freeze-out says that this idiom means: Shut out or exclude by unfriendly treatment; force to retire or withdraw from membership, a job, or the like.
