Elo IS rating.

Elo, Glicko and Glicko-2 are three related rating systems.

This site uses Glicko-2. Not Elo.

Elo is a greeting. The opposite is gbye.

ELO stands for Extremely Lucky Opponent. 

The opposite is EUO. Extremely unlucky opponent. These are the 2 types of opponents.

The first one involves a situation where even when you blunder, you win. The second one exploits your mistakes and blunders to win the game.

(I'm not joking, it really is so)
