Adama Maneuver
The act of dropping a Battlestar several times the size of a Nimitz-class carrier into the atmosphere and going into freefall whilst launching fighters. The Battlestar then jumps back out into orbit less than 100 feet from the ground, leaving a flaming silhouette in its place and creating a megaginormous thunderclap. Also known as the Husker Hailmary, the Maneuver was patented by Admiral William Adama, one of the greatest TV characters of all time on Battlestar Galactica (best show on television) and was one of the centerpieces of probably the best BSG (best show on television) episodes yet, "Exodus, Part II".
"Dude, the Adama Maneuver is completely infeasible when it comes to physics!"
"STFU n00b! It's BSG (best show on television)! Who cares?"

Sal Maneuver
The process in which you press down on your penile shaft after you get to the "half-chub" stage to increase blood flow and erectile activity into the penis. This method is strategic when you are feeling too tired to bone, suffering from old age, low testosterone, erectile dysfunction, or erectile tissue malfunctions due to overuse synthetic steroidal intake. Once you press down firmly enough, you will soon feel a rush of adrenaline from the Salwasser Gods and you may then proceed to thrash any and every vaginal tissue in sight. Please proceed with caution once attempting this maneuver
(CAUTION: DO NOT USE IF UNDER THE AGE OF 35, SERIOUS HYPER-ERECTILE INJURIES CAN OCCUR)
