Spawn Camping
When a Player deploys in own main Spawn Zone and never moves his/her Crawler out from Spawn.

Spawn Killing
Usually late-game if your opponent have reached Tier 3 before you and also have a big map control, then they can go pure artillery units and kill your Spawn Turrets for further easy Victory Points.

Crawler Drop
Spawning a Crawler to drop and kill enemy units in your Spawn.

Crawler Hunting
Usually a Player who dedicates all his time to only 'hunt' enemy Crawlers, usually this Player builds only Laser equipped units and searches the map for vulnerable enemy Crawler targets.

Feeding/feeder
Usually a Player who carelessly sets the Crawlers Way-point cursor at or behind enemy units, keeps building units who drive through enemy armies and gets killed by enemy units. Hence feeding the opponent with free Victory Points for each easy kill. Usually that Player with very low K/D.

Bleeding
Originally a term from the Beta Stage when Victory Points decreased while losing. When the opponent had captured all five Control Nodes your Victory Points would decrease rapidly, hence the term 'bleeding'. You would bleed to death basically. However, in the retail version these Victory Points increase while winning, but the term can still be used at the same time. When the opponent has five Nodes in their control the opposite Faction is 'bleeding' to death.
