"rubber gum" is the term I've heard most often used to describe a synth with high pass filtering, medium speed pitch lfo, and distortion. It's very common is psy, and many producers use it to fill up space. If you throw it in at the right point without much reverb or delay, it makes for a nice percussion-like element.
Pads are the atmospheric backdrops on which most trance songs are written. Listen to a track like BT - Flaming June, which has a very dynamic pad structure. most of the first half of the track is developing this structure.
Choral pads are a bit simpler, though. Just some samples of a chorus that drift through your chord changes. It's a bit overused in psy and particularly in goa, but that's because it's effective.
You could also take a string sample, and throw an hfo on their pitch to give them some funny tone qualities.
What I mean when I say "keymatched triangle" is take a triangle sample, and tune it to the key of the piece.
If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
