        HINTS
        Variety
        BevHill
        Beverly Hill
        Hollywood=H'w'd
        Tim Gray
         
         
         
So on the pages of Variety, it's not an award show, it's a kudocast. A director is a helmer. BevHills is short for Beverly Hills. H'w'd, Hollywood. Girlfriend is just GF. The letters NSG stand for not so good, and so on. There are even words that have been developed to be H-wood politically sensitive. For instance, no one is ever fired in Hollywood, especially if you're a helmer's GF. That would be NSG! So instead, as Tim Gray explains, one is simply ankled.
"Somebody ankles their job because the last thing you see when they walk out the door is their ankle. It's kind of neutral because, especially in Hollywood, you don't want to say someone is fired because they'll call and say 'No no no, I quit, they didn't fire me.'"
