Well to be honest whenever I see any of these terms contaminating a thread I get the instant urge to wash myself and go play twenty ladder games in atonement, but for some reason there is a plague of people who worship terms like these on shanty shrines of noobishness.

You forgot gosu, hasu, TT, natural, and maynard to name just a few. Gotta teach these nubs to be fags like the rest of us.

P.S. I suggest brand new terminology, to "Browder it" For example, when you position your zealot slightly wrong in your wallin and 8 zerglings run by. You just Browdered it.

Great thread! I think you really need the term "branked" in there though!

Natural is a very concrete/otherwise lengthy term. I don't see anything wrong with it (much like the OP doesn't really hate on "timing push", but on people calling EVERYTHING a timing push). How would you say he took his natural otherwise? Expanded in front of his base? Expanded on the nearest place?

Chill and i rage about these terms at least once a game lol. I remember the good old days of Klazart when an 8/9 pylon at your natural was "The Bisu Build".

Terrible, terrible damage.

Something funny I noted browsing these forums: There are significant differences between players of different races as far as the terms they'll use to describe their play. I think part of it can be attributed to the playstyles of the races in BW.

The great majority of players I see using the words 'timing push' are Terran. They'll call really anything a timing push, even if it's just poking up someone's ramp. Probably a remnant of many T's defensive-into-huge-tank-push playstyle.

Funnily, I have rarely heard the word from Zerg or Protoss players.
Instead, Zerg will substitute 'rush' or 'bust' for timing push. Possibly because that's what playing Zerg actually feels like. There's no slow pushing going on, it's brutal blitzkrieg.

Protoss players will often call anything teching. Early dragoons? Tech. Warpgates? Tech. 3 Gate 1 Stargate? Tech. This leaves me wondering what isn't 'tech'. Pure 0/0/0 zealots out of 6 gates?

Anyone else noticed this?

Pheonixes: May as well be known as Nonys

Nony Build: Opting for 4-5 early pheonixes to move out harass opponent, then move back to main base while making more pheonixes.

FE: The common acronym for Fast Expand or Fast Expansion. Just because you say you "throw down an FE" does not make you Flash (EffOrt?).

I love how people now use this term to mean 'expand'.

As in:

"he kept harassing me so I wasn't able to FE until 15 minutes in the game."

Or:

"just tech to colossus then FE."

RAGE!

Maynard Transfer or Maynard Swap:
Transfering excess workers from your main to your natural before it is finished, so they reach the main when it is done.

There's no such thing. Since our Metagame Knowledge tells us that IdrA will always FE, every Cheese is a Viable Timing Push.

I love the "Browdered it"!! LOL
Also works if you have your probes on hold position, just to get pushed out of the way by a bunch of lings that attack clicked a building close to them.
You thought those probes would actually seal your wall? You just Browdered it.

Or, if you spend time actually casting Frenzy on a bunch of your units and Corruption on a bunch of his... and you lose because you didn't macro... you just Browdered it.
