The Guitar Question Thread.

I have a question about a guitar technique, and I figured some other people did too, so I made this thread.
Here is my question:
In a tab like the one below:
E|----------------------|
B|----------------------|
G|-------------12b14r12-|
D|-------11-12----------|
A|----------------------|
D|-0-0-0----------------|
I know that r means return, but I don't know what return means...can anyone tell me what it means?
Thanks

Well the "b" means "bend". So you bend G on the 12th fret up to what the 14th fret would sound like, then "return" it to the original position.

If this post seems too utterly absurd or ridiculous to be taken seriously, don't. :)
