hero rush
In Warcraft III (Reign of Chaos or The Frozen Throne), the practice of attacking the opponents base using only your hero (and any summoned units, if the hero is a summoner of some kind). Mostly prevalent in multiplayer games when there are multiple allies, thus maximizing the effect. In a Hero Rush, the opponent's workers are usually targeted first. The purpose of a hero rush is to strike early to gain a huge (and hopefully insurmountable) advantage.
Modem-puller
A chronic lagger; especially in an online game such as Warcraft III. Usually having to do with the likelihood that the lagger is using a dial-up connection (56k or less) and may also be downloading music or something while playing the game, thereby taxing the connection beyond all reasonableness. Hence: modem PULLER.

black helicopter theory
Black helicopters are part of a conspiracy theory that claims that special silent running "black" helicopters are used by secret agents of the New World Order, United Nations troops preparing to invade the United States of America, and/or the Men in Black. Parapsychologist John Keel has argued that this theory has similar origins to those regarding UFO's, ghosts and fairies; that they are part of modern mythology; in this case, representing a fear of the government and its technology.
Black helicopters without FAA-required running lights are regularly used by the drug interdiction office DEA. In addition, most US Army helicopters (such as the Black Hawk) are finished in a very dark chocolate or olive matt paint. With the progressive development of night vision goggles, the need for helicopters to be lit when moving as a planned formation has been reduced.

in short, any farfetched theory concerning any government or other conspiracy, can be espoused by either those of right or left wing persuasions.

Noam Chomsky's theory about Soap operas being geared to lure women from politics sure is a black helicopter theory.
