Reverse-lookup glossary that turns a vague description of a web animation or motion effect into its exact term (\\\"the bouncy thing when a popover opens\\\" → Pop in; \\\"the iOS rubber-band scroll\\\" → Rubber-banding). Use when the user asks \\\"what's it called when…\\\", or describes a motion effect without knowing its name and wants the right word to prompt an AI or designer with. For naming an effect, not designing or building one.
