Stratford

An area of northeast London, UK, situated in Newham, one of the poorest boroughs in the city. It has recently acquired some degree of fame as the location of the main Olympic Stadium for London 2012, leading to it becoming known as the "Olympic Borough". The problem with this is that it has led to the whole area being a perpetually unfinished mess of roadworks and chewing gum, with the glitz and glamour of Westfield and the Stadium separated by a literal wall of shops from the grimy residential areas full of kebab houses, flower shops and knife crime. In short, a complete and utter mess. To be avoided if at all possible - unless you live there, in which case you probably don't have enough money to leave.

Since the Olympic building projects got underway I've found it increasingly difficult to leave my house, since I live in Stratford.

Clean Up Strat

A "Clean Up Strat" is when you have an orgasm while you are in the shower, leading to an easy clean up using the water provided by the shower.

Joey and Will pulled off a clean up strat before bed last night!

The Atartha Strat

"The Atartha Strat" Is a minecraft bedwars strategy in which you stay at your base, only bridging to diamond generators on either side, instantly pushing molten forge, followed by other diamond upgrades. Next, you use the emeralds you get from the forge to buy punch bows. This tends to be annoying to other teams typically. Finally, during sudden death, you use bridge eggs to push the middle and control it.

I got mad because my friend kept asking me if we good do the Atartha Strat.

raptor strategy

A phrase that describes a specific team tactic, originally used in Call of Duty 2. One team member attracts the attention of the opposing side while another team member engages in a flanking maneuver. The term references the attacking scheme used by velociraptors in the movie Jurassic Park.

Brad - "We need to raptor strategy them, so divert their attention while I sneak around and wtfpwn them."

Stephen - "Clever girl..."

Lifestyle Maintenance Strategist

Refers to people who are in well-paid, cosy, cushy jobs - who don't actually do any real work but are exceptionally talented at justifying their own worthless jobs, wasting money and making sure that whatever happens their own job stays justified and safe so that they can maintain their own cushy lifestyles. Good at feathering their own nests and shitting in other people's.

Lifestyle maintenance strategists are usually 'precious' but deluded people who highly rate their own value or worth. They'd be laughed off a building or construction site.

Most often represented by non technical managers and executives found in British public sector departments where jobs are not 'proper jobs'; for example Public Health manager or consultant.

Work actvities include Google time; blue sky thinking; journal club; wasting large amounts of tax payers money, running sexual health campaigns that cost £50,000 with an outcome of 19 Chlamydia tests; meetings with lots of nice tea and biscuits about work programmes that last 18 months at which a poster is finally triumphantly produced which could have taken a college student their lunch hour to come up with; the finance available to buy lifestyle designer gadgets and possesions so that they can feel smug and superior - for example owning an electric car or designer boiler; making sure that meetings finish by 4pm so the they can get away to the gym, running club, or fictious Tarquin Tombola's dinner party to which only other lifestyle maintenance strategists are invited. Colluding together (often at Tarquin Tombola's dinner parties or covens) to get rid of employees who are good at their jobs and who might expose them for the lying, worthless sociopaths that they are.

cheese strategy

noun. Gaming. A strategy that seeks to provide means for overcoming a challenge (e.g. a boss fight) not by engaging with the challenge itself but rather by bypassing it altogether. It is oftentimes exploitative of a game's mechanics, taking advantage of oversights in game balance made by the developers to easily deal with an obstacle.

Cheese strategies trivialize challenging content, by either speeding the process up immensely to eliminate the challenge or by making it nigh impossible to fail (e.g. through creating means to infinitely heal oneself). One could distinguish between "fast cheese" and "slow cheese".

Not to be confused with glitch exploits. Cheese strategies always work within the bounds of the game.

A: Hey, I just can't beat this boss, this one move just kills me every time.
B: Oh yeah, I struggled with him too. But there's this cheese strategy using this set of armor and a combination of potions that makes you pretty much invincible so I managed to get past him.
