Re: Creative Defense Names

I considered starting a thread like this myself, but never really got around to it Here are my unofficial defense names...

Low bar: Since the new flaps, I've sometimes called it "the thing your luggage passes through at the airport", but I like "medieval car wash". I guess it could also be called the robot wash; may even remove boulders!

Portcullis: The Guillotine, "Porticullis"*

Cheval de Frise: Teeter-totter(s), the French thing, shovel the fries, chili fries

Can be applied to more than one defense: Freezer door, the door, low wall

Not really a defense, but I refer to those little round plastic things as "boulder holders".

*There is only one "I" in "portcullis".
