Common Terms

Here is a list of words and phrases that appear regularly in TheGreatTeacher's chat and their most common meanings

B

Bail or (!Bail)- Refers to a command from the previous betting bot. If your coins were below a certain threshold, !bail could be used to bring them back up to that threshold (known as Bailing Out). With the new bot, this now automatically happens if your coins fall below a certain amount, so the !bail command is no longer necessary.

Bap- when a character at extremely low health is killed by the very first attack in a string. Characters that are left at extremely low health from a previous combo or super attack may extend the match by 15 or 20 seconds by flying around and avoiding the opponent, but if an opponent manages to finally chase them down and punch them once to actually end the fight, its called a "Bap," or "getting Bapped." Also see Zap.

Billions Dead- Said whenever Buu uses Genocide Attack in reference to him using the move to kill what remained of Earth's population in DBZ when Piccolo is trying to buy time against him. Became popular as Buu's AI has a preference for this special despite its tendency to miss and overall low damage. The first occurrence is called "billions dead!," the second use is called "trillions dead!," and larger numbers are used as Buu continues to use the attack in a single match.

Boing- Refers to when a character tries to perform a rush super against a giant, harmlessly bouncing off, due to rush supers not working against giants.

C

Chad- from the "Chad" or "Gigachad" memes, indicates a character is powerful, charismatic, confident, and generally likeable. Usually replaces part of a characters name when used (i.e. "Chadku" for Goku, "Chadio" for Mario). Contrasts with Jobber.

Coins, TeachCoins- The currency used in betting streams. Coins can obviously be won from winning bets but also increase slowly over time and can be gotten from exchanging channel points (Bananas).

D

Daily Dose, Take your Daily Dose- A very old 4chan meme where a gif of Piccolo raping vegeta would be posted almost daily. Parallels were made between the gif being posted daily and a regular medication regimen, complete with the phrase "thanks doc." in response. As such, any combination of the colors green and purple are associated with Daily Dose, and references between Namekian characters and medical terminology abound. Kritikal's "Green and Purple" is also associated with the meme, so references to weed also accompany appearances of this joke.

F

Fool Power - Said when Full Power Bojack uses Pump Up, a buff that increases physical attack damage, but lowers ki charge rate. Upon doing this, Bojack yells "Full Power!" Bojack usually uses this buff to little effect, however, either charging his ki immediately after, or right as a super heads towards him, hence the name.

G

God I wish that were me- Said whenever Android 18 or Fasha use their Ultimate (Fasha's ultimate's title is even changed to this in the version of BT3 used for streams). References an infamous comment on DeviantArt where a user comments "God I wish that were me" in response to a poorly made 3D depiction of a woman holding a shrunken 3D man. The implication of using this is chat is that the user wishes Fasha or 18 would beat them up instead. Normally shortened to just "GOD."

Goku never jobs to family- A perception exists in the Teach chat that Goku's chances of winning against members of his family (extended or otherwise) are greatly increased despite on paper most of them being more or less equal in strength (i.e. SSJ Goku Vs. SSJ Adult Gohan).

H

His X-used when referring to large plays or moves by Mario in any Nintendo AI streams. Originally references how Mario is winning because the game is biased towards him because his name is in the title (Mario Party) and as such is usually phrased as "HIS PARTY," or "HIS STRIKERS."

He- Used whenever a Saiyan character uses their Great Ape Form or an ape is selected as a random character. References the "HE" meme involving Lanky Kong from Donkey Kong 64 where users would attempt tp spell out his verse of the theme song one word at a time: "He has no style, he has no grace..."

J

Jobber-originally a wresting term for a middling fighter who's main job was to lose against more popular wrestlers to make the more popular wrestler look good and powerful. Has degraded to the point where its basically now means "character that sucks" or "character I don't like," regardless of actual performance in a match. Normally replaces part of a characters name (i.e. "Jobku" for Goku or "Jobio" for Mario). Contrasts with Chad.

Jobber Escape- Characters in BT3 can push back an opponent that is currently attacking them with a shockwave move at a health cost. Because the situation to need to use this move would only come up if the user was getting comboed in the first place, they are most likely jobbing and as such this is called a Jobber Escape. The AI very rarely uses Jobber Escape at opportune times, and its usually seen as just wasting health.

Jobber Sign- Refers to the buff "Finish Sign", which raises Physical and Energy attack damage. Many characters have this buff, but most of them are jobbers, and use the buff at very inopportune times, with a few exceptions. (Android 17, Super Gogeta). Similar to Fool Power.

L

Lick-A variant of a Yummy where a character moves into the way of a beam attack but near the very end of it, taking one or two hits from the attack as if they just wanted to catch a little bit of it with their face. Sometimes called "just a taste."

M

Mystery Box- Phrase used to refer to when the random character appears in a tournament. References the "new washer and dryer, or what's in the Mystery Box." scene from the Simpsons or the "you can have the boat or what's in the Mystery Box." scene from Family Guy. Instead called "Mysterious Challenger" in the bot and bracket. Users that bet on the Mystery Box in a fight call themselves "Boxchads."

P

Ping-refers to a small set of specials where a character charges forward in a straight line, and causes a massive, single damage hit to any opponent that gets in the way. References Arale's variant of this move that is also called "Ping!". Pings are notorious for being very difficult to deal with in any way besides dodging as they can't be blocked, some Pings can't be countered with a powerful beam attack, and the window to cancel the attack by hitting or throwing the opponent is very small. Just having a Ping makes a character much more powerful than if they had any other special variety in the slot.

R

Rare- Said in response to certain stages showing up when a stage is randomly selected, usually the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Because these stages lack time of day variants, they are less likely to get picked randomly and as such occur less often.

Retardy- Older title for streams of Mario Party where 4 computer characters with their AI set to "Easy" compete and users bet on the winner. Due to changes in Twitch's rules, this is now referred to as "Mario Not So Smarty" in stream titles and chat to avoid any issues.

S

Succ- Grabs that some characters have where they suck something away from the opponent. Androids 19,20, and the first two forms of Cell have grabs where they steal health and Ki from the opponent, and Babidi can use his to strengthen his ult. Refers to the meme "she succ me."

Surge, Luigi- refers to a common phrase from Mario Retardy streams. Whenever Luigi is doing good or makes a big play, this is referred to as a "Surge", or "Luigi Surge." As such, fans of Luigi refer to themselves or others as "Surgebros."

U

Ultimate/Ult- A move that can only be used by a character at Max Power, usually references a peak moment of that character from their appearance in Dragon Ball.

Unico-In BT3, some characters have unique dialogue at the beginning of fights when pitted against each other. When this happens, it is referred to as a Unico.

W

Walled-Refers to situations where the wall surrounding a BT3 stage (the square, blue barrier) causes odd interactions, especially with supers. If the edge of a beam attack touches the wall in any capacity, either all or almost all of the attack is negated, leading to situations where a character with a clear chance to do extreme damage instead wastes a super. This is the most obvious case, but situations such as missing an attack due to the knockback from a previous move being changed due to wall collisions have also occurred.

WT- short for World Tournament, an infamous stage where fights can be ended instantly by a character hitting either the grass, side wall, or the dreaded umbrella. (Ring-Out)

Y

Yizak- Originally a name for a modder from BT3 modded tournaments. Yizak replaced the texture of the blue, square barrier around stages with his name. TheGreatTeacher chat generally agreed this sounds like an energy drink brand, and as such Yizak is usually referred to when Teach or a character in a game drinks something.

Yummy-indicates a case where a character seems to willingly get in the way of a special attack, usually a beam. Yummy implies the character puts their face in the way of the attack to eat it. Compare to Lick, Just a taste.

Z

Zap-Very similar to a Bap, except the match is ended by a standard ki blast instead.
