Cog-inary(dictionary for cogs)

me and some cogs were looking in <another site> and found the cog-inary(dictionary for cogs) i cant take all the credit for this Lionel PurpleHopper from <another site> made this.This was copied and now pasted from the thread in <another site>:
Alright. About a couple days after I started up on Toontown again, I had this wacky idea of taking the Cog's names and attacks (with their meanings) and putting them here so some of you young people would understand the terms for each of them. I know it sounds a bit odd but it's something I wanted to pass the time with.

(P.S. this is unfinished, so if you have anything new to input, please let me know.)

ATTENTION! The Leaders for both the bossbots and Lawbots are just a guess. Toontown may or may not use these exact names for the leaders and as such these will be changed in the future. Also, none of the Leaders have named attacks, so they won't have any attacks at all listed under them.

You can put down the name for the Bossbot boss. Since there is a VICE president, it makes sense that the Bossbot leader would be called the president.
