At this point I just assume no one knows anything. (Including myself...) This is especially important when you're working between fields - the same word can mean different things to different people.

...Fault slip rate = (1) average slip rate recorded by geology, (2) modeled average slip rate from GPS, (3) how fast the fault slips in an earthquake. But somehow, NOT (4) the rate the fault is slipping right now (probably zero)...
...Aseismic = (1) has not generated recorded seismicity, or (2) cannot generate earthquakes. These are very different things!...
...Fault coupling = the rate a fault is slipping right now divided by the how quickly the blocks on either side are moving relative to each other. This is only meaningful if you assume that the fault is taking up all of that movement, which is often a weird thing to assume.
