Jabo is the big bouncer at the local nightclub

Disco is that new funky dance craze

Furballing is what about 50% of us do at any given time in AH.  Fly in circles and shoot each other down.

Or maybe,

Jabo - my definition - ground attack, usually against base targets or vehicle hangers.

Disco - Disconnect from the server either at your end or at HTC's servers or somewhere in between.

Furballing - think cat and dog fight.  everybody just mixing it up

1) Jabo

What Rooks attempt to do, but after-report action calls it "FUBAR".

2) Disco

What an enemy that is defeated in a fight initiates with ALT-F4, but what he doesn't realize is he just gave the kill to the guy that had a few bullets in him, or the nearest pilot to him as he alt-f4'd.

3) Furballing

When a bunch of rutabagas do ("Fur"balling) when theyhave no clue how to look at the big picture strategically (See Lazs picture under definition)
