Short for non-consensual. Online authors use this term to describe a story that contains non-consensual sex, aka rape. Artists could use the term to describe a picture with these themes, as well.
Warning: This fic is non-con, so if forced sex ain't your thing, please leave now.

The stench of unwashed bodies clinging to gamers at nerd conventions. I.E. Dragon Con, Comic Con, World Con, etc.
The computer programmer's con funk was so thick that Becky, on her way to a Harry Potter question and answer session, nearly passed out.

what cops say you did wrong when they lock you up for no reason*
*in reality, dis con (short for disorderly conduct) is (in just about every state) a penal law criminal violation which can be used to legally arrest someone.
sub-sections of dis con include:
threatening/violent behavior, profane/offensive language, obstructing traffic, failure to disperse, and more (depending on what state you live in)

A school for Convicts. In other words: jail, clink, slammer, etc.
A term made popular by the character Jim Leahy on Trailer Park Boys.
Leahy: "Have fun in Con College, Ricky!"
Ricky: "F*ck you, Leahy."

Short for "retroactive continuity". When an author, usually of a long running series, decides to reframe some past event for the sake of the current story.
Like deciding in Spider-Man 3 that Sandman actually killed Peter Parker's Uncle back in Spider-Man 1.
The ret con backstory for Spike in Buffy was awesome. But trying to ret con Flint Marko into Spider-Man's origin is retarded.

1: An anime convention that takes place in Western Washington, in the spring, over a weekend. Also an opportunity for a fan to optionally cosplay as an anime character, among other things.
2: A gathering of people young and old who cannot speak Japanese, do not attempt to learn Japanese, and to the trained ear often sound as though they are deliberately trying to butcher the Japanese language.
3: A gathering of fangirls, fanboys, and fans of indeterminate gender, some of whom, in their zeal for a particular show or character, cosplay in a fashion entirely unbecoming of their age and/or gender.
4: ...but NOT a convention exclusively dealing with characters named "Sakura" (yes, plural - there _are_ other anime besides Naruto, people!).
5: Generally a fun time wherein people young and old enjoy themselves.
Synonym: Pre-PAX Penny-Arcade-a-thon.
Dudemaster A: "Dude, I'm going to Sakura-Con."
Dudemaster B: "Cool. Here is my soul - could you ask the Penny Arcade guys to sign it? And get me some Pocky: I'm still not a diabetic yet."
See you at the 'Con. No, not the Emerald... Aww, forget it.
Shokun! Sakurakon de mata aimashou!

The rather depressed and aloof state of mind that comes after the party and fun of a convention.
That poor guy, he's going through Con Withdrawl.
