"Resistance to x" : Characters in RPGs may be attacked by various forces, e.g. fire in the form of a wizard's fireball, the breath of a dragon, a flamethrower, etc. In many RPGs, a character may have a "resistance" to such forces, indicating that they take less damage from that sort of attack than most beings would.
"Shiny": See TV show Firefly.
