Crackling

From Zergling. The weakest unit in the game Starcraft who has been fully upgraded with adrenal glands and metabolic boost. Becomes incredible fast moving and fast attacking, offsetting many weaknesses. Derived from the idea that the Zergling is "on crack".

In large enough numbers, a swarm of cracklings can easily destroy more powerful units such as Archons.

Crackling

A name for sheltered freshman from Boston University. Often used by older upperclassmen as a means to address younger freshman who exhibit qualities of craziness when given several tiny bits of alcohol. Much like Starcraft's Zergling when given Adrenal Glands and Metabolic Boost. Cracklings become crazy with tiny bits of alcohol due to their inability and inexperience to such stimulants.

Upperclassmen love hanging around Cracklings because they love watching Cracklings drink.

OMG that freshman is such a Crackling, I only gave him 1 shot of 151... WEAK
