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

just goes to show the importantance squeezing every last bit of gas because of the mining AI
Ooh, I haven't heard that one... what's that?
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.
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)
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)
Crack head - The act of killing one's main CC/Hatch/Nexus on FMP. For those of you that never played FMP, you can't rebuild your main the way it was when the game began hence your 'head' was 'cracked'
Workers - SCVs/Probes/Drones.
Shock - The act of using the High Templar's Psi-Storm.

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 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIM7gngyHV0
Hahaha what a highlights video - even better for having unexplained Bisu at the end
blue goo - dead dragoons hero-probe - probe that gets early drone or scv kill sink - morph a creep colony to a sunken colony minetrap - forcing enemy army to retreat into a minefield rine whore - player who goes mass marine

Oh god the third part's the most hilarious thing I've seen in a while. I miss MBC's commentators :s
Probably Maynarding but only because my friend believed it to be a legitimate verb and used it a lot in his academic assignments which amused me to no end
Zerg(verb) ...referring to typical ineffecieny of movement when moving many units down a ramp or narrow choke. Used in expressions such as: "Don't zerg the bus guys, form a line!", or causing high load after a gaming server reloads "Don't zerg the server plz, give it a few minutes"
Especially applicable in any setting when two control groups worth of people or more are involved.
Pretty sure this is not an exclusive term for BW but I do distinctly remember in team or custom games on Bnet back in the day that whoever was the orange player was affectionately called "oj" by everyone else.
I always got a kick out of that for some reason :3
A friend of mine used this build once extensively on a fresh ICCup ladder to cheese his way up to C+ (from our D+ standard). He then refused to play any more game. It became so popular between me and my friends that we would go double terran into double BBS in a 2v2 clanmatch.
"stuck in the Stone Age" – when a player is way behind his opponent in upgrades "using bearskins and knives" – as above "wall o' inappropriate anime tentacle rape" – sunken wall "UFO" – flying Command Center "doomsday preppers" – any infantry in a bunker
The "perfect, most amazing, specific timing that decides the fate of the game". it happened during a muta timing attack during the OSL finals between jaedong and stork.

This is how I've always used it. Correct to your mind, yes, no?
I ask 'cuz a friend told me this was wrong, and insists that adrenalings and cracklings are the same thing.
Admittedly, lings with the attack upgrade and no speed upgrade should be rare.
I only see koreans use "adrenaling" and they use it to mean lings with the attack speed upgrade but its implied that the lings also have speed up too. I never heard the term specifically used to mean lings with only attack speed.

Ah okay, adrenaling is the Korean term. Makes sense.
'push to nowhere' - tentative/indecisive Terran mech push that never gets to the enemy base 'last expand' - going fast expand vs aggressive player and getting killed 'cuz of it ('he went last expand')
An old Lineage1 player i know always came up with awesome names for so many Brood Wars units.
Archons - Snowballs. A bunch of Wraiths performing hit and run tactics - "Bees are Buzzing" Dark Swarm - Fart. early zerglings - "dogs on the board" Overlords - Slow-verlords A Pack of Zealots Sent Across the Map - "Million Man March" Zealots - Hammerheads

no idea what is official, but amongst my little gang of Brood War players Cracklings were zerglings with both the speed and attack upgrade
no one ever had the attack-speed upgrade without the movement-speed upgrade so Adrenaling never got used as word...movement-speed is a very early game upgrade and attack-speed is like a tier-3/late game upgrade so i can't see having attack-speed without movement-speed... but wtf do i know.

TBF, there's a recent VOD from SSL11 where Hero or some other top Zerg forgot to get the attack-speed upgrade at Hive level. Speedlings all game long, much to the shock of the casters.
So, weird stuff does happen once in awhile... even though it shouldn't. It's not intentional, it's either a mistake, or a 'newb thing'.
Someone else in the thread clarified that adrenaling is the Korean term for crackling (guess they don't call crack 'crack' in Korea), which is probably how I heard it first, and I just attributed it to an upgrade mistake.
