harpurhey shuffle 

A special and secret fight technique that originates from an inner-city area of Manchester, in North West England, called Harpurhey; which is located approximately three miles north east of Manchester city centre. The technique is greatly feared and just the mere mention of possessing Harpurhey shuffle knowledge, as a combat skill is enough to make opponents turn and run. Although the technique is a closely guarded secret, rumour suggest that it involves shuffles across the path of an appointment, making sure he/she takes small, quick steps to stay in contact with the ground, this enables them to change direction quickly and at will. The foot work is combined with a windmill type arm manoeuvre which has been described as too fast to explain.

Noun (ancient Roman naval terminology): a catapult-launched grappling hook, invented in the 1st century BCE by Marcus Agrippa, and successfully employed by himself (as commander of Roman naval forces) during the Battle of Actium, against the forces of Egyptian Queen Cleopatra VII, and her ally, the Roman triumvir Marcus Antonius (a.k.a. Mark Anthony).
"When Antony's larger Egyptian ships had penetrated the Roman line, Agrippa's smaller galleys successfully reeled them in for close marine combat by using the harpago."
