Game Terms for Quick Communication

I figured this would be the best place for something like this, as most of the community visits here.

What terms and phrases can we come up with to make strategy and in-match communication more efficient? For example, at Suffield, we started calling putting a bin onto a stack capping the stack. I just saw on Delphi someone calling a robot that takes from the landfill a miner. Any other terms that you think will be useful for strategizers and drivers?

Cap a stack - put a bin on top of a scored stack
Miner - robot that takes totes from the landfill and stacks them
??? - robot that takes totes from the human player station and stacks them
??? - robot that can take totes from anywhere and stack them
Grabber? - robot that takes bins from the step
??? - robot that can make a cooperation stack
??? - full scoring auto
Snaking? - moving the robot around the scoring platforms, in a way that alliance partners need to be aware
??? - any others you guys can come up with?
