@LearnMore: Thanks for creating this article. However, in its current state, it isn't a glossary but rather an index, because a glossary requires definitions. Opencooper (talk) 15:21, 8 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'll start a list here of some terms I think should be incorporated, but (like many already listed here without definitions) are hard to find actual reliable sources to cite.

Calling Grace - when producers ask union crew to continue through meal break to finish the current setup.
