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.

A large gun used in WWI by the Germans produced by Krupp Industries.
Big Bertha is usually confused with the Paris gun and was never actually fired at Paris.
In fact, Big Bertha saw very little action aside from bombarding a handfull of Forts in Belgium, most French soldiers who were captured from bombarded forts claimed
"No one can stand up to Big Bertha's might" when in fact they had never been shelled by Big Bertha at all.

Dood! Big Bertha gunna mow down Paris again.
You're an idiot, Big Bertha never even shelled Paris you dolt.

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.
...Damned Grenade Artillery

Paranoid, angry, or attention seeking wannabe college dropouts who think that by looking at shoddy footage of controversial events and mincing the words of eye witnesses they can piece together their own, delusional version of "The truth" about what REALLY happened that day.
Tin foil hats may or may not be worn.
Tin foil hats may or may not be worn.
Everybody should listen to Conspiracy Theorists, they know "The truth" because they haven't been bought out by 'The Man' like those silly scientists. What do they know, what with their PhDs? And their testing? And their research? They obviously don't know shit about what REALLY happened. Just look at this video of the event, see that plane? IT'S A MISSILE.

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.
