Proxy is short for proximity. Look up proximity in the dictionary.

Proxy is an actual word... Like, pine isn't short for pineapple.

Nothing. The word is "proxy"

That definition has no relevance in sc... however proximity does. You are wrong.

Funny. That, to me, would actually conclude that proxy IS short for proximity. The definition of proximity makes a lot more sense in the context of putting a pylon in your ennemy's base than that of proxy.

Regardless, the lingo dictates it should always be called proxy.

Are you 12 or something? "or ur mom".. Really?

proxy

To have sex with someone by proxy, ie. their brother or sister.
I had sex with Sandra Bullock's cousin's cousin Heather Bullock and thus I proxied Sandra Bullock.

Dude, your wife's sister is hot.. How's it feel to proxy that?

Who needs mindgames or variation?

Here we go again!

I seem to recall people on TL rather aggressively stating that in SC-specific terminology, proxy referred to a proximity building (which I did think was rather odd).

A proxy is something inbetween two things, so a proxy pylon is a pylon not in the main base inbetween yours and theres.
