DupliVerts are not a rock band nor a dutch word for something illegal (well maybe it is) but is a contraction for Duplication at Vertices, meaning the duplication of a base Object at the location of the Vertices of a Mesh (or even a Particle system). In other words, when using DupliVerts on a mesh, an instance of the base object is placed on every vertex of the mesh.

This will create a visually identical copy of the selected object(s). The copy is created at the same position as the original object and you are automatically placed in Grab mode.

Blender is able to "reach in" to other .blend files and pull in whatever you want. In this way, Blender supports reuse of your graphical models. For example, if you have a library .blend file that has a really neat Material used in it, you can, from your current .blend file, Append that Material into your current .blend file. This saves you from manually re-creating all the different settings.

The Outliner Window is used for easily navigating a complex scene. There are two views, the Outliner view and the OOPS Schematic view. The OOPS Schematic and Outliner give you a 2d representation of your complicated 3d world. Use these views to find things in your scene.

When working with dense geometry, it can become difficult to make subtle adjustments to the vertices without causing nasty lumps and creases in the model’s surface. When you face situations like this, use the proportional editing tool.
