Squirrel is somebody who deliberately alters and mis-applies LRH tech, such as adding their own "non-standard" ideas to the tech. The idea is that LRH tech "works", and thus any alterations would only serve to make it less effective or run into other problems. Keeping Scientology Working policy letter is also fairly adamant on keeping Scientology unaltered in any way shape or form. Only a squirrel would be nuts enough to alter the tech. Its considered a crime or high-crime within the CoS.
In practice, its also a term used against anybody who tries to practice Scientology outside the control of the CoS (such as the freezone). Its used as a scare story to keep people away from them, as you won't get "standard" tech.
Other tems might include:
wog: non-scientologist
panty-waste dilettante: an ineffectual person (phrase from KSW)
downstat: a person who's stats are down, or if they or their area is less than shiny, uptone and clean.
out-ethics: a sinful action, or remining in a sinful state. Any non-survival action. Anything the church deems as wrong.
entheta: anything unhappy, that could enturbulate or upset a person, or anything that is critical of Scientology.
the psychs: anybody involved with psychiatry, psychology etc - these are the people running the worldwide conspiracy to suppress humanity, drugging our chidren and lots of other generalised nasty things - the enemy
marcabian: The marcab's are the race of aliens who trapped us on this prision planet earth in the first place. They are the ones controlling the psychs, and have designed things in general to keep us trapped.
mixed-practices: mixing scientology with other practices or techniques. This is also banned.
Suppressive Person: the 2% of the population that are intrinsically evil and beyond redemption (at least for now). People who publically leave Scientology, or openly criticise it, or break the rules, will generally get declared as being an SP. Most SPs are criminals, perverts, liars, nattery, full of entheta, make generalizations, or insert your favourite taboo here (Nazi-communists is a good one).
reasonable: agreeing to things that are not correct in order to not cause an argument. This is a bad thing as the tech is suppost to be applied 100%, with no alterations or being "reasonable" about it, no matter how hard it may seem.
generalization: when you speak about something without specifics, ie:"they did", "people say" etc. SPs are said to only speak in generalizations. Scientologists will often ask "who said?" to such a statement.
natter: talking negative things about a person, which are generally petty. another SP trait.
1.1 or one-one: covertly hostile. Its a point on the tone-scale, where you appear happy and friendly, but are secretly trying to stab people in the back. Homosexuals appear at this level of the tone scale.
Freedom is a choice. Choose to be yourself, choose to speak your truth and do so with compassion. And above all else, choose to be not afraid. If I can't dance, its not my revolution.
