Get the Greasy Nolan mug.Also called the "nolaann", to do the nolanmtwitch means you first have to be playing the Minecraft minigame "The Bridge" which can be found in servers such as CruhBridge, Hypixel, Minemen Club, and more. The nolan occurs when you:
1. Hold S when you're walking into the opponent's goal so your enemy walks past you and you can hit them into their own goal, hit them across the goal, or just kill them. This classifies as a "juke".
2. Jump off the bridge but then quickly places 1+ blocks below yourself so you don't actually fall down. This is also classified as a "juke" and the terminology for this action in other gamemodes would be "telly bridge", "telly", and similar names. One would wish to do this action so they can make the enemy jump down to defend them and after that can be in a good position to score.
These two actions are called the "nolaan" because a top bridge player who goes by the name "nolan" with his in game name "nolaann" used these tactics a lot in his gameplay against players, and it was popularized by him.
