Some good ones there, but Jill? A few others above your post that I'm not including for reasons mentioned or until I have some clarification as to what they mean!
But if you feel strongly about it, make your case!
I'm also adding 'blind pass', 'drop pass', 'two line pass' (does any league still enforce this?) and 'sick (move)'.
