Short for "schedule."
Found a good example today:

Gedaly commented on the word jibberjabber
Nonsense, meaningless talk. Mr. T used it so it must be a cool word.
"I don't follow politics. All that jibberjabber gets on my nerves."

Gedaly commented on the word ostrobogulous
Literally means "full of rich dirt," but is used (well it isn't used, but it should be!) figuratively to mean off-color, crude, dirty.
I try to say or do something ostrobogulous everyday. It helps life stay interesting.

Searching Padawan and padawan brings me to different pages. Why are these (or other words) case sensitive?
