A lot of these "overused" terms aren't really that overused. But the word standard pops into my mind.

Honestly most of these terms are "overused" because they are useful. I don't often find myself annoyed at casters overusing phrases. A lack of sophisticated diction is much worse.

What an awful thread. A "push" need not be a freakin' tank push, man. It can be any major attack that isn't harass.

Terran tank push is what it meant when the word was used for the first time and that`s what it should stay as, no need to change it.

Most of the phrases listed never occurred to me to be overused. I`m more concerned about general habits of some commentators, not specific words.

I really dont like the way abuse is used in the starcraft community. I assumed it meant something like, abusing bugs, like cancelling your eggs in that one patch... Not doing a nice blink or putting tanks on high ground.

Just a little help

* It'll be interesting to see... --> fascinating, entertaining, intriguing
* Standard... --> regular, basic, default, classic
* Opting to... --> preferring, deciding, going for, chosing to,
* We are here on... --> match is being played on, the map is,
* One thing to note... --> worthy of note, notice, remark, pay attention to,
* Nothing out of the ordinary --> irregular, uncommon, unusual, extraordinary
* This is awesome ! --> watch less HIMYM plz :>
* He'll know exaaactly what's coming/what's going on/what his opponent is up to --> predict, we can foresee, inevitable, antecipate

I love Gretorp, but you can seriously make a drinking game from the number of times he says

"Defensive Posture"
"Robust"
or corrects himself when he says Build instead of Opening.

I didn't notice "Materialize" at the time, but in retrospect, it belongs on the list as well.

However, he could say these things once a sentence and I would probably still watch his casts because they're just that insightful.

"so and so is a strong (insert race here) player"

Ever watched a baseball game and heard the announcer go "up to the plate comes A-Rod, a good Yankee's player" lol

I think you use words such as "zealots", "lings", "marines" too much. [/irony]

Seriously, some things like "Standard" or "Deviation" shouldn't be on the list. They're pieces of useful, precise vocabulary, and should always be used.

Zerglings seem to have the ability to get "roasted" very easily. Every commentator I've listened to has said something about roasted Zerglings, even if it's not a Hellion!
