Consonant Cliff

A situation in Wordle in which the player has correctly established all but one letter, leaving a missing consonant. The cliff occurs when there are more consonants that could work than remaining guesses, leaving the player helpless and in fear of going over the “consonant cliff”

Hey alright! I got SHA*E on my first guess! So it’s gotta be SHADE…nope. Okay, SHAPE!….hmm, SHAME? GODDAMN IT! Here we go, SHALE! FUCK.

Last guess….SHARE??? It’s fucking SHAKE?? ! Fell to my death off the consonant cliff!!!

Consonant Gangbang

When words seem to consist of more consonants than vowels and are extremely long and complicated, e.g. in German language

"Donaudampfschifffahrtselektrizitätenhauptbetriebswerkbauunterbeamtengesellschaft is really a consonant Gangbang, don't you think?" (German for Danube shipping electricity main operations facility construction administrator's society)

lost consonant

Mistakenly omitting a consonant from a word, resulting in a sentance or phrase taking on a different meaning altogether. I first saw it used in a book by Graham Rawle, but I think it's a generic term.

After golf, David went for a drink in the cub bar.
