The
Glossary of "Hussarisms"

These are terms invented by (or for) the Hussars based upon events observed within games. Please feel free to submit new definitions as you see them.
Blooded
Completing the Hussar initiation ritual. A Hussar is said to have fully earned their "wings" (in a very literal sense) once they have been (violently) introduced to the devastating combination of another Hussar team-mate and explosive devices of any kind. Such as being bombed by Flasheart's aircraft, bombarded by Dougie Haig's artillery, blasted by one of Miggins's carefully placed explosive packs or blown up by a grenade from nub, Rum, Agrajag or any other Hussar in fact.
Dougie (doing a)
The act of an Engineer whilst dropping their Explosive packs to click the mouse one time too many and thus detonate them all in a spectacular suicide. Named After Dougie Haig who is the master of this fine art (having won the trophy from Baldric)
Flying Miggins
Succeeding in performing a sufficient number of Miggins Manoeuvres (q.v.) to get kicked from the server for TKing.
Also used to refer to any single act of multiple team-killing that results in being kicked from the server.
Blackie (doing a)
A vehicle is said to have been "Blackie'd" (Blackadder'd) if the driver manages to roll it for no apparent reason at the smallest change in ground elevation.
Miggins Manoeuvre
The act of leaping into a vehicle (preferably with an unwitting passenger) and then surprising the enemy, yourself and the unwitting passenger by immediately crashing said vehicle upon take-off or by ploughing into a large, more resilient object (building, friendly destroyer, etc.) in said vehicle, with terminal effect.
Rudder-Fodder
Being killed trying to eject from a moving aircraft in a cunning (but failed) attempt to land behind enemy lines
.
SAV
(Surface-to-Air Vegetation). The covert enemy tactic of planting (sorry) highly trained jumping trees in amongst otherwise harmless woodland, designed to briing down unsuspecting aircraft and not (as it may appear to a casual observer), the pilot simply crashing into the trees out of ineptitude). See also: Extreme Tree Hugging.
SBE   
(Summary Bot Execution).
Communicating with extreme prejudice that you aren't about to let some flawed AI player take your vehicle, even if you have momentarily vacated it to repair it and even if they are on your side. Extreme caution should be taken when communicating using this method, in case the person approaching your vehicle is actually another player just coming over to say hello.
Smoke Manoeuvre
The act of turning a perfectly normal aircraft into a decidedly unaerodynamic collection of component parts by pressing the wrong key combination while airborne. Named after the person who first discovered that folding the wings of a plane while coming in to land on the aircraft carrier causes them to snap off.

Smacktard
Being struck really forcefully (ahem). Alternatively, a complete idiot who displays the opposite of common sense and behaves in a way likely to get themselves and their team mates killed with little or no evidence or cerebral activity.

Suicide Jeep
The tactic of employing a high-speed jeep to take out another (usually more heavily armoured) vehicle. Adopted by Cadet Edmund as a standard tactic, rather than say, using grenades or other more traditional weapons. Especially funny when the jeep misses.
