$5 wrench attack - Strong armed robbery as a means to acquire access to one's crypto accounts.

Shit coin - Any cryptocurrency that's likely a scam or is a bad long term hold (hyperinflationary).

Proof of work - Using a computer to guess the answer to a math problem. The faster your hardware, the more guesses you can make. Success creates new crypto used as a reward.
