Dota terminology - looking for ideas

Dear all,

I've been recently working on a Dota guide for people that are completely new to Dota. It will take a long while until it is ready, and I haven't decided yet if I will publish it here on Dota Fire or make a site just to lodge it.

Anyway, one section I always thought important to include is one about terminology, that is, somewhere where things as simple as "tank", "gg, wp" or "deny" are quickly explained for someone that is just beggining playing the game.

It is a section that's quickly growing, but still I wanted to ask you for your help/contribution: what words/expressions would you like to see on the more complete ever dota terminology guide? :D

Any contributions will be welcomed, and of course mentioned in the guide itself.

Thanks in advance

The most problem I had when I started playing dota was with the term gank. I kept wondering what it meant for a good 3 months. Then in a guide someone mentioned it as gank/ambush. It was then that I understood what it meant. (that this was somewhere around 2006) Although with the popularity of mmos I don't think anyone would have a problem with that now.

Maybe explain things like gpm, cs, DPS (obvious but still add it maybe), burst, rs, ks (kill secured :P), bottle crow, ward-b%$#@...etc. These are the words from the top of my head. I'm sure others would have plenty to add to it.

Nice suggestions UltraSuperHyper, thanks!

Meanwhile if you remember anything else keep posting it here please :)

Definitely.

This should help

Thanks Unscathed, I was planning on using Dota wiki for ideas as well!

Here are some:

1. Stacking
2. Pulling
3. Double pull
4. Smoking
5. Rosh wards
6. Pooling (usually tangoes)
7. Flash farming
8. Rotate
9. Orb walk
10. Harass/zone

I'm learning things already with this! What is pooling? Cutting trees to make paths or something?

No, giving shared tangoes to someone, or "pooling" them a tango.

Thanks! That was my second guess, but I have never ever heard that before, I guess people don't ask me a lot of Tangoes I usually give them before they do :D
