FIRST For Dummies

[Beth Sweet]

We've all read the "_____ For Dummies" books, they're quite the series. And since in FIRST, we kind of have our own world, I think we need FIRST For Dummies. So let's see some definitions to include in FIRST for Dummies! (Keep it PG and remember, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all!)
