Here's the glossary from the USA Gymnastics website,
it has every term you'd want:

Gymnastics Terminologies

What are u referring to? In any case what I've seen in the answers so far are gymnasts' jargon rather than the sport's terminology. All elements in gymnastics are named after the guy or girl who first did them and so u can hear a gymnast actually say:
"I did the Eberle entrance quite well; who'd have thought that I would make a big mess out of that Danilova"
or a specialized journalist explain:
"when in a vault final you're doing nothing more than an unadorned Yurchenko, you can't be expected to win. Worse, everybody will know you're sort of chicken"
There are hundreds of such terms. I grew up among gymnasts...

where do you begin. im a gymnast. do you want to know what coaches say or what gymnasts say? there is quite a difference. but for starters: your leo gives you a wedgie. when you biff it you usually get cool bruises. and the skills have cool names too. like moshnapanava, anodi, tchachev, valdez, tsukahara, shushanova, popa, and lots of other cunfusing stuff but i hope that sort of answered maybe part of your question.
