Lol Sunking lala is an intentionally patronizing way to describe the said planes, for reasons well known.

Rookies is a far better defiintion for a Rook as it also describes their skill level.

Actually, Buff is in direct reference to a B-52. It's just used in AH and other sims to refer to bombers.

Pork - To destroy functional field targets (Ordnance, Troops, fuel, hangers etc)

Porker - Someone who's primary objective is not to fight but to cause damage to a field in some way with ordnance or gunfire.

Milkrunning- The whoelsale attacking of totally or relatively undefended fields in an attempt to land-grab without having to invest resources in actual air combat.

Runway Vulcher- A person who takes a fast plane such as an Lgay7 to altitude, by-passes 10+ intervening enemy planes to take as many swoop n' run passes up and down the runway for vulches as he can before his inevitable demise. Then rinses and repeats ad infinitum braggin about his l33t skillz on 200 all the while.

Roper - Someone who flies a plane to high altitude and attempts to seduce lower cons or those with less E into following him up until they stall whereupon he loops or rolls around for the easy kill. (see AKAK films for a good demonstration of this tactic)

Flakpansie - Someone who insists on upping from a CAP'd field in an Ostwind to kill vulchers instead of a fighter to be vulched. This is usually a derogatory comment used by the disgruntled vulcher wannabe's who get unceromoniously replaned by them.

Pork and Auger - Either by accident or design this is an attempt to 'pork' that results in the 'porker' crashing into the ground in the process. This is usually done by those who have no wish to fight and would rather just suicide than try so they can quickly re-up to pork again while denying his defending enemy a non-proxy kill on him.
