Energy
The process of rope yarns being twisted in one direction, then twisted in the other as they form the rope, can leave ropes with a lot of energy and spin. To minimise this, lightly pinch the rope at one end with your thumb and finger, and pull the rope all the way through. Then, repeat this in the opposite direction. I do this myself with my ropes after each rope session.
Tails
Can be used to refer to either the end of the rope or specifically the small section of rope after the knot
