The derivation behind the third term reminds me of sundry wargames opponents who have offered their own eccentric interpretation of the rules part way through the game.  My response to such individuals is, of course, to summon the umpire who I tend to think of as the Drano Max (https://www.drano.com/en-us/products/drano-max-gel-clog-remover-946ml), a term that is in no way perjorative.

:P
