Okay I know what a normal topic, hot topic and very hot topic is. I think I know what a sticky topic is but I am not sure though. What is a locked topic and a sticky locked topic?

When topics are locked new replies cannot be added to them (unless they're unlocked again).
Sticky topics are those pinned to the top of a board, so that even if another topic gets a newer reply, the sticky topic still remains at the top of the list. The video piracy topic on the General board was until recently designated a sticky topic.
Combine the two things and you have a sticky locked topic.

I have noticed that the ropics that are moved become locked, but why are some topics that are not moved locked, e.g. one of the topics that I started?

Another very good point! Moved topics are automatically locked to ensure that people post where the topic has actually been moved instead, but I had no idea that some normal topics were becoming locked. I certainly didn't lock them myself so something v.strange is going on
I'll unlock them now anyway.

You're both wrong - squashed flies are a sticky topic!

You could use jam to attract flies before squashing them. Sounds almost like a Knightmare process. Spellcasting J-A-M. Very Chris Morris.

Is fly paper a sticky topic? as an addition to jam. I guess you could put jam on fly paper!

Well, fly paper contains arsenic, so I wouldn't put jam on it, you'd probably end up eating it and poisoning yourself...

Hmmm! Arsenic, what an interesting thought!

My uncle once got flypaper stuck to his head and he had to have a very emergency haircut.
