Creation and Usage Notes
| This one was a really early word, and I thought it would enjoy a lot more use. It came from "zerg" as it's used in video games, which ultimately came from the Blizzard game StarCraft. In StarCraft, one of the earliest multiplayer strategies was to play as the Zerg, a species of bug-like aliens, and create a bunch of zerglings at the start and rush the opponent, destroying them before they've had a chance to build up their army. Zerglings are weak, but with a huge number of them and next to no defense, they could be quite a challenge. If you didn't fend off the first wave, chances are you lost. Since then, the term has entered the gaming lexicon generically to refer to rushing at an opponent headlong without concern for defense or further strategy. I incorporated a lot of gaming terms into Trigedasleng figuring that they'd stick around. We'll see how that plays out in the coming decades!
