Basi tea ceremony: In the books tea came from the City of Bazi, hence the name. Many confuse this with the bazi tea ceremony done on Earth in Asian homes.
"'Make me tea,' I said. 'Is it ready?' I asked. I looked at the tiny copper kettle on the small stand. A tiny kaiila-dung fire burned under it. A small, heavy, curved glass was nearby, on a flat box, which would hold some two ounces of the tea. Bazi tea is drunk in tiny glasses, usually three at a time, carefully measured. She did not make herself tea, of course. She lifted the kettle from the fire and, carefully, poured me a tiny glass of tea. I took the glass."Tribesmen of Gor
Begging Forgiveness: Slaves are often taught to only beg mercy, but slaves in the books frequently begged for forgiveness.
"Forgive me, Mistress," I begged. "Did you lie?" she asked. "Yes, Mistress," I said. "I lied! I lied! Forgive me, Mistress. Please, forgive me!" Fighting Slave of Gor
"Do you bargain?" I asked. "No, Master," she cried. "No, Master! Forgive me, Master! Please forgive me, Master!" Fighting Slave of Gor
Blackwyne: This form of the Gorean beverage is erroneous in form and spelling. It is also not widely available on Gor.
“Thentis does not trade the beans for black wine. I have heard of a cup of black wine in Ar, some years ago, selling for a silver eighty piece. Even in Thentis black wine is used commonly only in High Caste homes.” Assassin of Gor
“I grinned, and washed down the eggs with a swig of hot black wine, prepared from the beans grown upon the slopes of the Thentis mountains. This black wine is quite expensive. Men have been slain on Gor for attempting to smuggle the beans out of the Thentian territories.” Beasts of Gor
Chillery/Coolery/Servery: There is no mention of any of these in the books. It was referred to as a kitchen.
“Elizabeth led me to a room off a kitchen on the third floor of the cylinder.” Assassin of Gor
“At the door of the kitchen I turned again to face her. For a long time, not speaking, we looked at one another.” Raiders of Gor
"There was the odor of food in the kitchen, and of spilled drink. There were several yards of sausages hung on hooks... "Assassin of Gor
"The slave boy, Fish, had emerged from the kitchen, holding over his head on a large silver platter a whole roasted tarsk, steaming and crisped, basted, shining under the torch light, a larma in its mouth, garnished with suls and Tur-Pah."

Collaring: Online term used instead of the command "submit" or the positions "submission" and "female submission".
Cooling Room, Chilling Room, Cold Room, Cold Shed (also see, "Ice and Refrigeration."): Most online Homes have a place where food is kept cold and ice is stored. This is not true. In the books having these luxuries was not common. In the cities it would have been ice chest, in the North they could have had the icehouses:
"My house, incidentally, like most Gorean houses, had no ice chest. There is little cold storage on Gor. Generally food is preserved by being dried or salted. Some cold storage, of course, does exist. Ice is cut from ponds in the winter, and then stored in ice houses, under sawdust. One may go to the icehouses for it, or have it delivered in ice wagons. Most Goreans, of course, cannot afford the luxury of ice in the summer."Guardsman of Gor
Dance ****ion: Slaves did not rub fingers on their clit or insert them into their **** in order to cum in a dance. That is not dance, it is ****ion. Doing this before OR for a free woman is disrespectful. Also, see "heated serves."
Free persons' titles and names: No slaves in the books spoke frees' titles, i.e., Ubar, Ubara or their names like, "FireWolf, Elana, etc." All slaves addressed all Frees as just Master or Mistress. To avoid using titles and names a slave can do an action post that would include the "Masters/Mistress' Name" before speaking to the Master or Mistress.
Greetings: Slaves did not do formal greetings to all free persons and slaves present in a room when they entered it, nor did free persons greet everyone on entry.
Ice and Refrigeration (also see, "Cooling Room, Chilling Room, Cold Room, Cold Shed": Most online Homes have a place where food is kept cold and ice is stored. In the books having these luxuries was not common.
"My house, incidentally, like most Gorean houses, had no ice chest. There is little cold storage on Gor. Generally food is preserved by being dried or salted.

Ka-la-na in a silver vessel: This is not poisonous and it was served in silver.
"I do not wish to come home with you now," she said lightly, a bit of Ka-la-na spilling from the silver goblet she held. At a gesture from Kliomenes, who sat cross legged beside her, a half naked paga slave, whose left ankle was belled, refilled Miss Hendersons cup." Rogue of Gor
Ka-la-na mulled: Not in the books.
Karta position: There is no such position as Karta specified in the books; however, the position Prostrate is mentioned and is similar to this position.
Ko-lar: Ko-lar was used in the books to show how "collar" was pronounced. Collar is how it should be spelled.
"Collar!" I said. Eta frowned. "Ko-lar," she repeated, again indicating the neck band of steel fashioned on her throat. "Ko-lar," I said, carefully following her pronunciation. Eta accepted this." Slave Girl
Mead: is not served cold, it is made of honey and would be cristalized, we have no things to add to it and keep it liquid. It is kept next to the fires, it can also be served hot. If asked for it cold, bring a spoon along. Also do not try to put the horn on a tray, it doesn't stands. And do not try to carry it in one hand only, it is big.
"Bera went to the next man, to fill his cup with the mead, from the heavy hot tankard, gripped with cloth, which she carried". Marauders of Gor
