Heads-Up Display or HUD

Same as me - did not want to appear too stupid.

Following Wie's excellent  HUD Primer for Dummies I was able to find a few resources including the origin of this term here and its more specific use in gaming here  where the special application  of showing Context-senstive info appears most relevent. Until Wie's explanation, I never really noticed the big difference between the Goal icons on the left and the HUDs on the right. You learn something new everyday on this wiki!
