NEW YORK (Reuters) – The unprecedented mark on U.S. equities this week made by the online traders of Reddit’s WallStreetBets group, or WSB, has prompted even singer Dionne Warwick to ask on Twitter here, “What are stonks and why is it a trending subject?”<\/p>

For Warwick and others among the uninitiated, here is a guide to understanding some common WSB lingo.<\/p>\n

STONKS<\/h2>\n

An intentional misspelling of \u201cstocks\u201d that originated with an internet meme.<\/p>\n

YOLO<\/h2>\n

An acronym for \u201cyou only live once.\u201d If someone on WSB has \u201cyoloed\u201d a stock, that person has poured a significant portion of their investments into it.<\/p>\n

BAGHOLDER<\/h2>\n

Someone who has taken heavy losses on a stock, in WSB parlance: While others may have profited from a similar position in the past, that person has been left holding the bag.<\/p>\n

TENDIES<\/h2>\n

Shorthand for chicken tenders, which WSB uses as slang for profits on a trade.<\/p>\n

DIAMOND HANDS<\/h2>\n

Often referenced using an emoji, \u201cdiamond hands\u201d are how members express their belief that their position is valuable and worth holding onto for maximum profit. Conversely, a trader with \u201cpaper hands\u201d sells out early.<\/p>\n

TO THE MOON<\/h2>\n

A rallying cry on WSB, which members use to express their belief that a stock will rise significantly. The phrase is often accompanied by a rocket emoji.<\/p>\n
