FE = Fast expansion, Fast expand, Fast expo.

With terran it applies for almost all of their FEs so they don't really use a real modifier for it sometimes.

With protoss, I think nowadays FE is synonymous with a forge and pvz, but can also be used for the nexus first builds.

With zerg they just call it 12hatch 9hatch whatever :|

zerg almost always required to FE so no one use it for them, unless theyre not FE then we just call it one base or something.

Fundamentals of Engineering exam. Seriously though, isn't FE9 not as good as say FE10 or some of the older ones?

Fast Depot?

Actually it apparently stands for Fake Double, basically you make the protoss think that you're going for a double factory build and that vulture+mines are on their way, which will cause the protoss to leave you alone long enough for you to get an early expansion.

c/p'd from here
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/information/46744/_Article__Shinhan_OSL2_Recap.html

A mutation of once notorious Gundam Rush, similarly, FD Terran pushes the dragoons stationed near Terran base entrance with 4 marines + 1 Tank, but this time beguiling the opponent Protoss that imminent vultures are on their way with their mines backstabbing the retreating dragoons. This action makes Protoss to pull their dragoons to their base in fear of losing dragoons, and buys the luxury for Terran to an early expansion. Cha Jaewook was credited for reviving and upgrading this ancient build and demonstrating with some degree of completion. Soon after, FD Terran brought a new paradigm(as all of you know well) in TvsP, a stale match for sometime.


Bah, FS got his post in before my edit.
