Negative Edge 

A reverse masturbatory technique. Instead of masturbating and bringing yourself to the brink (edge) of orgasm, you simply *don't* masturbate--for months, years, decades, or even centuries... till your are on the verge of implosion, then you release all that pressure all at once on your victim. It often requires extensive training and superhuman dedication, but it's also able to inflict massive damages. Its excruciating training process has caused many backlashes, and it's now renounced by many humanitarian groups. The CIA, however, has allegedly weaponized this forbidden technique and utilized it in black ops. But they are likely not the only government agency that has incorporated such weapons. Rumors suggested that Navy SEALs didn't kill bin laden with a gun, but rather *something else*, namely, the Negative Edging.

Some nerds in the fighting game communities have misused this term to mean releasing of a "button" on some "joystick". while its definition does involve the act of releasing, and some of them may have used it as a sexual innuendo, this technique has been around longer for something far more sinister and evil, and definitely not for games and giggles.

correct: The target has been eliminated by the CIA spy using the negative edge.
incorrect: The player used negative edge to throw a fireball because the button is quieter upon being released than being pressed.
