Stealth Nerf

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.

Grenade Artillery

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.

Patriarchy

A rule of house hold or of any social institution, such as government. Exclusively by men, for male purposes, in which women are not allowed to participate in leadership.

This tradition was dominant in Human history up until the Early 1900's when it began to change.

Patriarchy has since been nearly abolished in all First world countries. Though, it still exists in other parts of the world.
Many Feminists continue to claim first world countries are oppressed by a Patriarchy. This is actually not true and used as an excuse to continue blaming their so called 'inequality' on men. They also attribute many things such as war and poverty on the 'Patriarchy' even though this is not true.

Radical Feminism's true goal is not gender equality but a society in which men are oppressed. The use of Patriarchy is simply an excuse Misandrists use to justify their man-hate. They will not be satisfied until men are stripped of their power and women are taught to be superior so that men can supposedly 'Feel what it's like to be subjugated'

Examples of these women would be Buenaventura Durruti

atom bomb

A weapon developed by the Americans during WWII and under research by other countries including Germany. The weapon is classified as either a Gun type or implosion type.

Gun type weapons are unreliable and do not provide a large blast, therefor rendering it obsolete. Though it is easier to make. The process includes accelerating a neutron(s) into a ball of Fissionable material and inducing a nuclear Fission reaction.

Implosion type weapons are in current use, though, not much, they detonate explosives around a ball of Fissionable material and create immense pressure which induces nuclear Fission. They generally have a higher blast effect.

The Atom bomb was deployed twice at Nagasaki and Hiroshima to end WWII. Though, their use is still hotly debated today. Atom bombs have become very obsolete since the development of Hydogen bombs, Cobalt bombs, and then Thermonuclear warheads.

Race Baiting

A term used by white people to dismiss criticism and objection to racist policies or racial discrimination; attempting to discrediting the critic as a person inciting racial tension when none (supposedly) actually exists. Functionally equivalent to a Red Herring designed to distract the audience from the real issue (IE pre-existing racial tension).

Essentially, use of the phrase indicates a desire to stop discussions of racial tension. Probably because they make white people feel really uncomfortable.
"Why is it cops harass black people so much more than white people?"

"Stop trying to rile people up! You're just Race Baiting!"

Glass Cannon

Game Term. Refers to a class of vehicle or sometimes a unit that has very high attack strength and sometimes long range but generally poor defense and low health as a result.

The general strategy for them is to either destroy the enemy before being attacked or hides behind other, stronger ally units.
The artillery unit in that game is great. But it's a Glass Cannon, I only use it for defense.
