A call is a bet a stock goes up and a put is a bet it goes down, so more puts than calls means traders are leaning cautious. The rest of the words are here.

The biggest bets placed today.

Single trades of a million dollars or more, placed by an eager buyer and not yet expired, biggest first. Inside the platform each of these also carries a score for how unusual it is for that stock — and an alert, if you asked for one.

In a hurry

Somebody is in a rush.

Trades of $300K or more where the buyer did not wait for a better price, on contracts that expire within the week and need the stock to move to pay off. Nobody buys these to be patient.
