What BW slang terms have you heard that you liked or at least were memorable, for whatever reason?

A few that've stuck in my head:

Bug Rancher – Derisive term for a Zerg player, lol

BBQ Drop – Stimmed firebat drop into a worker line (VERY effective, btw)

Fake n' Bake – Attacking somewhere else as a distraction so your ghost can get a nuke off

Trailer Park – Terran bases, lol ("I took out three of his trailer parks")

Stun Guns – Corsairs (strong resemblance)

Paper planes – Wraiths

'I gave him crabs' – mass Guardian attack

Cattlebruisers – BCs

Photo-op – Maelstrom

Gophers, prairie dogs – burrowed lings

To "Maynard" workers. The act of moving workers from your main to your natural, supposedly popularized by the great foreign BW player Maynard.

Yup yup. Originally called The Maynard Transfer™. I remember when it first became a thing.

Used myself or heard by my friends.

- Lawn mower for carriers.
- Coliflower for photon canon.
- Mamoth for Ultralisk
- Luck bug for the reaver
- "those little dogs" for Zergling.
- "The gooy race" for Zergs.

And of course : "The thing when you can't black sheep wall" => Multiplayer.

I love my friends.

Really cool list.
But he is never making short-term prediction, everyone of his prediction are based on fundenmentals, but he doesn't exactly know when it will happen... So using these kind of narrowed "who-is-right" empirical analysis makes little sense.

Korean Handicap
When you need an extra player on the other side to balance out those BGH teams.

Probies
Because they're cute

Jangbang
Self descriptive

Man____ i.e: Manlots, Mangoons, Manstorms, Mandrops, Manscarab, Manly
To describe everything (P)Reach does

Prairie Dogging
Be very very quiet... Waiting for an opportune moment to spring the burrowed trap, or in real-life terms a fudge dragon.

Pimpest Play
Obligatory slang for the clutchest or coolest of tactics and plays.

"It's only fun when it hurts"
Some phrase spoken by Day9 about games in general. I use it to refer to watching low level play, which often produces the funniest storylines in what happens during a game.

and who could forget:
Rush
Zergling rush, zealot rush, Zerging it down, gangbanging one korean in BGH, No Rush 20, etc.

If you place a Supply Depot at a certain area near the Refinery it makes the SCVs path better to mine gas more efficiently.

I remember a lot of players used to do this back in the day but I don't see it any more, I don't think it's necessary if the geyser is directly above or directly to the left of the CC, but placing a depot can speed it up when the geyser is in other positions.
