Other than many that were already mentioned:
"sandwich" (cut off retreat with another line of units during engagement)
"3cm drop" (overlord drop before speed)
"doom drop" (massive Zerg drop on the main)
"horror gate" (proxy gateways past any blockable choke/ramp)
"triple combo" (Plague + Ensnare + Acid Spore at once to rape silly air armadas lategame)
"Deep Six" (5 midgame rax to punish greedy toss)
get stronger play longer

Haha good stuff

Um I know I have some too, just cant really think of many right now. I often attribute names to stuff

Eg any speedling all in - kwanrolling
1 factory 3 command centers - "fucking flashing it!"
Fantasy gg timing
jaehoon recall

Best one I have is TvT when both players get like 20 vultures first. Most notably destination games.

Called that the "gentleman's agreement"

Eventually one of them would get 1 tank and I'd say "oh [player] broke the gentleman's agreement"

Edit: also no one does the real fantasy build anymore of wraith + dropship but I also called that the "one of everything" build. You get an engi bay, academy, vulture, wraith, valkyrie, armory.....

Maynard slide is cool. Also i like choboling¹ and crackling².


¹ a ling without any upgrades, the beginner-ling, with the korean word chobo
² a ling with attackspeed upgrade, lets him attack be as fast like he is on crack


Chobo as korean word sounds good for a nerd and Crack gives them a martial sound of how insane they act.

I remember a few ones also, though some in french.

For the zealot speed upgrade, we usually say "cuisse", i.e. "to research thigh".
Other than that, I remember also the cracklings, with the same definition as greenelve.

Cracklings, cause with adrenal glands they're on crack!
"Boxer marines" = defeating lurkers with a few marines with lots of micro!
"Reebooooo!" = reaver
"Eraser" = Science vessels irradiating themselves and literally erasing drone lines
"Fantasy gg timing" = we all know what that is
"Manner *insert building*" = this came from bw right?

I first saw it on b.net to describe games where it was understood that no cheese would be used to have a well-mannered, straight up game. But adding a building afterwards it's the exact opposite

Also, does anyone remember the "prince of the skies" (literal translation from Korean)

I believe Twitch.tv came from Flash's twitch on camera.

it actually means when you recall the units don't come out because it collides with unlandable terrain
jaehoon took it to the next level though
