Here is a list of words you may refer to very often, and some variations upon them so you don't always have to repeat the same word. Be careful not to overuse these, or it might seem like you're using "wolfspeak". Some people really hate that. "Wolfspeak" is the overuse of metaphor to refer to every tiny little thing, and the misuse of many such words often resulting in confusing the reader.
Most of the incorrectly-used words (like auds and labrums, which aren't real words) have been removed from the list (though perhaps I should have put them in their own list). Some of the categories contain words that could be used for more than one thing, so look them up and decide for yourself. Remember, if you don't know what it means, either look it up or don't use it. Confusing people isn't impressive.
Enjoy.
