In a particularly boring class today I was thinking about the term melee, for no particular reason. It occurred to me that I learned what melee meant through Starcraft. I would've learned what meleeing was many years later if it wasn't for Starcraft. A few other words I've learned from them, off the top of my head (I think you'll notice a trend in here) -
Tier (building and unit tiers in Starcraft)
Pre-requisite (along the same line as tiers)
Zerg and Gank (now valid words in speaking with geeks)
I was 10 when Starcraft was released, btw. Feel free to share any random, somewhat useful things you've learned in games. Oregon Trail and Math Blaster not allowed.
