hahaha, good one! :)

You can break down the FX side into:

BGs: Background ambiences, also called "atmos" in the UK
Hard FX: doors, guns, cars, doors, phones, whooshes, hits, etc
Foley: Footsteps, props (keys, plates, hand pats, gun mvt,etc) basically the "sound of people doing something" can't remember who described it like that, and cloth mvt.

Of course there's more, but that's the basics
Hope that helped, good luck!

best,

Joe

If you wonder about terms to define different types of sound, I could never recommend this book enough: Audio-vision: Sound on Screen by Michel Chion ;)

I know this is a late reply but whoever might read this information can only thank me :P

Just wanted to bump up THAT quote again... currently on a project FROM a first-time who just...graduated from film school. Several uses of that word in the spotting session.
