Taxiing
Short description
When a killer picks up a survivor and taxis them to the hatch

Long description
After the killer finds & downs the last survivor, the killer will stand still after picking up the survivor, waiting to see if said survivor will wiggle.
The killer will shake their camera for the killer model to imitate a "no" gesture and will also swing their weapon to tell the survivor to stop wiggling; the killer proceeds to find and then drop the survivor onto the hatch.
SidneyPrescott96 23 Mar, 2023 @ 2:38pm 
There is one other meaning of the term 99'd/99ing: It also refers to, as Meyers or Ghostface, gathering stalk on someone. It's also sometimes called "banking stalk" or "stalk juice". The technique to do this for either is similar: you activate Stalk, try to get the stalk meter as high as possible on someone, and then come back later and finish the stalk.

As Meyers, it refers to tiering up EW (usually to 2 or 3) by Stalking until you get as high as possible, then activating it at a critical time so you can down someone fast (EW3) or get the speed boost for chase (EW2). Usually used to get out of EW1 or to rapidly tier up to EW3 if you have certain addons.

As Ghostface, it refers to gathering the ability to instant down by stalking, saving it for later, and then popping it at a critical time such as at a gen or right before chase. Can be used to hide who you actually are and fool people into thinking you're a Meyers during the beginning of the round, or can be used as insurance later.

POV tech might be a good one to add; it's when you get close enough to the killer that it's hard for them to tell if you're within m1 range and they often back-up to get a better view, giving you more time to get away / to a pallet.

Also people sometimes shorten Aggression to Agro, as in taking the killers chase/attention from someone else. For example: "Can you take agro? I'm on death hook"

You should add Baseballer: When the killer continues to swing/wiff, this is what you yell.
