Not slang, but the main ones are:
Anamorphic
DTS
Dolby Digital
5.1
ES/EX
Seamless branching
RCE
Layer change
My own friends have DVD players but they're not into home cinema like I am, sadly .... and despite all having multi-region players, they only buy R2 (we're in the UK)!!!!!

However, Squirrel God, I would like to register a protest. I've got a high-school diploma, a BSBA, and an MBA . . . I'm not supposed to have to do anymore homework!!!

Sometimes I'll bitch about "Edge Enhancement" or "Artifacting" and people tend to look at me kinda strange...
Mostly it's me bitching about how somebodies TV is not calibrated properly (ie color, brightness, shaprness set wrong).

I wrote a review of the Indiana Jones Trilogy for my local paper last week. I got a note back from the editors saying "You need to explain what anamorphic means." I guess I've spent too much time here.

Confound your non-DVD-hip acquaintances with .........
"The PQ and 5.1 DTS of the WS platter I just extracted from the hub of that ThinPak Amaray are simply mahhhhhh-velous! No EE at all! A fine hunk o' pixels there! And in the OAR of 2.35:1 as well! Dang near HD! Not a bad 2.0 DD to boot! I wonder if the SE DC LD's PQ looked this G (good)?!"

From: Great White North, eh?
One term I picked up from the DVDtalk forum is "Joe Six-Pack," used to describe luddites who whine about widescreen DVDs and "those dang black bars."
Joe Six-Pack... That term just makes me laugh! Thank you, DVDtalk!
