CommandoDude's definitions
Nerfing, is a game definition term used by a player base to describe the reduction of power in a Class of unit or weapon that was threatening the balance of the game.
Often times players will be told well in advance of the upcoming patch a nerf is taking place. Primarily to keep players informed on modified game mechanics. And also to generate discussion.
A Stealth Nerf occurs when a game company does not announce a particular change to a game in the patch. Often times the change will simply be noted in the Patch notes, buried under other layers of changes players do not often read. Leading to many players confusion as to the change.

The purpose of the Stealth Nerf is to minimize the backlash from the player base if the Nerf being applied is a particularly popular play style.
It also serves to eliminate resistance to the change the producer feels is necessary, as often preventing a Nerf is much easier then reversing a Nerf.

Get the Stealth Nerf mug.Verb; An attempt to fix something in which the fixing actually makes the situation worse for you. Common on the internet when an arguement "backfires" and makes you look stupid.

Get the backfired mug.The act of jumping and systematically crouching almost instantaneously after, usually to reach a higher objective/platform then previously unattainable. It is also a common tactic used in most FPS games to dodge bullets in combat and make themselves harder to track. Though, it is impossible to perform in real life.
Most recent games penalize jumping by making a player temporarily slower after the aformentioned action, making the Jump Crouch tactic much less effective and mostly rendered a last ditch effort. Though, mastery of this skill will have you spinning circles around your enemies.

Get the umad mug.A tactic used in FPS games in which players lob grenades into the air towards the enemy spawn attempting to get a lucky kill.
The tactic requires extensive knowledge of the current map and a sense of predictability in knowing where the enemy will usually head.
Though, this only works well in round based games because spawn points are fixed.
The best way to avoid grenade artillery is to look at the sky in the early game and watch out for small flying objects heading in your vecinity

Unknown Soldier sprinted around the corner, poised to bring his bullets upon his enemies.
When suddenly he exploded, a grenade had been flailed from the otherside of the map and killed him...to shame.
