hording

A generically cheap Gears of War 2 strategy where all 5 members of the COG or Locust team just run together and take out everyone one by one.

An individual usually retreats back if they're in danger of being downed or on their last down to make their teammates suck up the blows.

Ideal weapons of choice is frag grenades or power weapons to take out the horde.

Gears of War 2 Player: "Hey what are these guys doing? They're just grouping together and retreating back when they're weak"

Another Player: Yep they're hording together because they can't play this game on their own.

"IF U BEAT ME ITS CUZ MY TEAM SUCKS IF U KILL ME ITS BY 2PIECE OR POWER WEAPONS THATS IT"

Gears of war player: But..doesn't power weapons eliminate the horde problem?

Another player: Tell that to the yeti over there >____>

Dog Hoarding

Any person who owns more than 2 dogs.

Me: Man, Jud just got ANOTHER dog - a black lab puppy. . . This is like their 3rd dog.

Wife: That's dog hoarding.

herding cats

Trying to get a group of silly girls/boys in one place to take a silly picture of them.

"I have gotten three other people to agree to do it, but actually getting them in front of the camera is like herding cats."

hoarding

A term that refers to both the attempt to "hoard" more screen time (that can be obtained) from parents and the panic buying that occurred on Friday, March 13th, 2020, right before the COVID-19 lockdown. This term highlighting a sense of urgency and accumulation in both contexts.

Kids trying to negotiate extra screen time are just hoarding it like people did with toilet paper during the pandemic!

like herding ferrets

As ferrets can be rather excitable and jumpy, trying to herd them (or get them under control) becomes a next to impossible task as they dart this way and that.

Oh my god, trying to organise a night out with that lot is like herding ferrets.

Thumb Herding

The use of one's thumbs to herd cows on your ipod in the game Cows vs. Aliens. Whereas, on the ipad, the use of all fingers is possible.

My wife is prolific at "Thumb Herding," on her ipod Touch, while playing Cows vs. Aliens.
