Spectacle creep

A phenomenon occurring when the creator/creators of certain a media franchise (in games, movies, comics, etc) try to keep things fresh and interesting by unwisely making everything bigger, better and more spectacular. This can lead to the feeling that everything up to that point didn't really have a point or that everything after this point is pointless since it's just so ridiculously over the top.

Special Education

A.K.A. Hell on Earth. Special education is designed for students with learning disabilities, physical disabilities and other special needs to have guidance throughout school. What special ed really does is take really smart good spirited kids and put them down and make them feel like shit. There’s a whole separate room for special ed kids called “resource room”. Which is the worst period of the day. All the “normal” kids walk by and stare at you to make things worse. If that isn’t embarrassing enough, no teacher takes anything you say into consideration and talks to you like you’re a preschooler. They think that just because you learn slower, that you’re stupid as hell. And if you decide you don’t want to be in special education anymore, you’re in for a rough battle. Teachers will fight you to stay in, to the point where you give up just because none of the idiots from your school listen to what you know is best for you. Want to have a stable social life with other kids in school? You can say goodbye to that thanks to being in special ed classes. Even other students think of you like you are a dumbass.

(Special Education)
Student: I need to get out of these special ed classes, they have no positive impact on my GPA.
School: Well we see why you might think that, but actually they do help you.
Student: Loses his/her shit and gets suspended
School: See, you need these classes for behavioral issues.

Creel Special

When a girl thinks that you are going to finger her using a common method (rocker, shocker, etc.), but instead you put all four fingers forcefully into the stink.

Dude, I was making out with Chloe last night, and I gave her some of the ol' Creel Special to finish her off.

Special Tactics

Phrase used in StarCraft 2 play, especially at the pro level, to describe adapting to a situation with a seemingly on the fly strategy that exploits a specific mistake made by an opponent that is unlikely to be repeated later in the game or in further games for that round if it were countered by using a conventional strategy. As an opponent would then be forced to react by changing their overall playstyle for the remaining games in the match, the targeted weakness will likely disappear. Thus a player would lose their metagame advantage of being able to predict where and when an opponent is open to attacks.

Comes from veteran Ukranian StarCraft progamer Aleksey "White-Ra" Krupnyk responding to a question regarding how he would handle an infamously tough match-up for him in an event, which due to his strong accent and odd use of English came out in a memorable fashion:

"Don't worry, I use Special Tactics this time, no problem."

White-Ra went onto win the match 3-0 and advance to the next round by playing standardized openings that moved into bizarre unit mixes and unorthodox usage of them that were unique to each game but in all cases exploited the same specific weakness in his opponent's strategy.

"Dave played a normal 3-gate robo opening, but then shifted into some bizarre 1 colossus and 4 zealots in 2 warp prisms to kill his opponent's workers and kite his marines away from the base at the same time."
"Well he must have used Special Tactics"

"He was pushing out of his main base with a ball of marines while expanding to his natural, so I used Special Tactics and dropped 4 blue-flame hellions to kill of his workers in the main, then picked them up and dropped them in front of his retreating marines while dropping 2 tanks behind his mineral line to pick-off workers as they're made and destroy his buildings."
