rabid fangirl

Always a young teenage women, a rabid fangirl will devote themselves to a particular brand, or subject and became mentally detached from the real world for it.

Rabid fangirls will fanatically defend said affection and religiously persecute anyone at the end, or middle of the spectrum between their affection and the "considered" opposite.

To be labeled a rabid fangirl means that you, or the labeled party, is fanatical in their complete obsession.
Ex: A Rabid yaoi fangirl, who will fanatically worship anything yaoi and/or slash related, no matter how utterly rediculous it is. They will without exception attack those who like straight or Yuri pairings, or attempt to reason against certain yaoi with reason (ex; explain why Itachi and Sasuke will never be a pairing) and rediculously persecute those who do not follow their Yaoi scripture.

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.

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.
