MER
[] - noun
MER (or Maxter) is short for Maximum Total Expected Return. It's a set of Food Club bets with the highest TER for a given set of pirates and their profitability. Generally, betting Maxter sets in the long run should yield close to a Return on Investment of 2 (doubling your amount bet). For any particular round that is still in progress, the Maxter value may change depending on changes in pirate odds.

['mɪɹə gɛɪm] - noun

TER
[] - noun
TER is short for Total Expected Return (or Ratio), a probability-weighted average of possible outcomes on a set of Food Club bets (generally a set contains 10 bets, but can be any number of bets). The TER value is a quick way to gauge an estimated average expected number of units you can win for a set of bets, but it does not mean a particular set will actually win. Generally, betting sets with higher TER in the long run should yield more profit on average. The possible TER value ranges will differ each round based on pirate odds and combinations available.

Transfer
['tɹænsfɜː] - verb, noun
(1) To send a Neopet to another player, using the system found behind the central door of the Neopian Pound.
(2) The act of sending a Neopet to another user in this way.
(3) The ability to send or receive a pet using the transfer system. Players are limited in the number of pet transfers they can start or accept per month (the number varies based on account age). A player who can send a maximum of three pets to others, and has already sent two this month, is said to have one transfer left.
Example Usage:
(2) "I wish he would hurry up and accept the transfer. It's been more than a day since I sent the pet!"
(3) "How many transfers do you have left this month? I've got the pet you were wanting to adopt, if you're ready to receive her."
