I don't think what cloud was asking was what jargon or slang means, because when I first read the post I was thinking the same thing. I believe the reason is that there is not very much jargon in ricochet... pad and stall are hardly slang, because it is a pad in our perception of the word, and stalling... well, you're literally stalling, staying in one spot. There is decap, which is obviously short for decapitation. I was actually thinking we don't have enough terms, because there is nothing to describe certain jumps, no word describing firing over the barriers, stuff like that. Midairs... shooting someone in midair, but once again that's just a literal description. Deer in the headlights... when a disc is coming right at you and you freeze, hesitating too long, and you die. White disc... falling just before a round countdown and getting stuck in spectator, automatically losing the rest of the match. Some people might consider camping behind a barrier and stalling on the same pad as pulling a Darkson or something, of course referring to the guy who used to use that style primarily. Anyway, like I said, not much jargon, it's not as if we use fruit and household item names to describe objects and jumps... we just say it how it is.
