Oranyan im not sure...

Tsundere is a person who is initially cold and mean (somtimes abusive) at the beginning but deep inside is a kind person

Love polygon: If its in a harem it usually means multiple people like one character. In a non-harem think of it like person A likes person B, person B likes person C, person C likes person D, person D likes person A. (this is just one example)

Stockholm syndrome: It is very familiar to me, but I ont want to give the wrong description so I dont say the wrong thing.

Rated OT: Older Teen

Paroy: usually a comedic reference to real life events or other anime and manga.

Why don't you just Google the terms?

It's 2010. Why has this not caught on yet?

tsundere---where a girl acts distant in front of everybody and cutesy when alone with a guy

love polygon --come on its pretty obvious....just ppl at every vertex of the polygon in love with each other

stockholm syndrome---where a victim grows to love/admire/depend too much on the victimizer and even after being rescued longs for that feeling

parody -- make fun of society/culture/art

Oranyan - I googled, and it seems it's a synonym for Tsundere?

Tsundere - girls (or guys) that pretend they don't like you and love bossing you around. They're actually deeply in love with the person they're giving a hard time to though.

Love Polygon - 5+ people crushing on each other. It's like a love triangle, but then with more people.

Stockholm Syndrome - Victim falls in love with the criminal.

Rated OT - what.

Parody - making fun of something in a comedic fashion.

edit: ugh, wrote this for nothing. =3=

Did a google search and apparently oranyan is a word used to describe "a male who is by turns aggressive and aloof, and sweet and charming."

And as for Stockholm syndrome, it is "a psychological condition in which the hostage emotionally bonds to their captor". Ever heard of those common rape-then-love cliches in smut manga? Yea, that's basically the gist of it.

Oranyan is a term used to describe male characters that are rude to everyone, but can be kind to those he loves. The word is derived from "ora" which is supposed to sound like shouting and "nyan" which is equivalent to "meow."
