Names for fingertricks?

[Evan Wright]

I think it would be a good idea to have some standardized names for fingertricks.

There is already a few, such as:
R U R' U' (sexy move)
R' F R F' (sledgehammer)

I think it would be beneficial to have names for more common fingertricks, such as
R U2 R'
R U R',
F R' F' R
R U R' U

Having names for these would make memorizing algs a lot easier. For example, instead of R U R' U R U2 R' (sune), it could be written as
(name1) (name2)

(I am terrible at coming up with names so i just inserted generic ones)

What other fingertricks should have names? Also, help me come up with names for the ones I have.

Falcon Sledghammer/ Reverse Sledgehammer (F R' F' R)
Sexy (R U R' U)
Too Sexy (R U2 R')
Lazy Sexy (R U R')

R U R' U R U2 R' = Sexy Too Sexy
Weird names, I am also bad at them but no harm in trying

R U R' U can be the ugly move, it's awful

R U2 R' = Cookie

From the way you talk about these fingertricks, HIJK notation will probably cover most of your needs except sledgehammer, and the only thing that really matters is K = R U R'.

Sune: K U K2

Other names are cute, but they are likely to stay non-standard -- and not everyone will agree with your mnemonic/interpretation, or think that it's a good come up with weird nicknames for all sorts of simple variants on the same thing.

M2 U2 M2 = silly move

Because it's so silly when I fail the cross

Not really a trigger but F' U R' U2 R U' F is another 'I suck' alg

 

[Sajwo]

Nice one, I have always used R U R F' r U r' U' r U R' U' M xD

R L U2 R' L' is a favorite as well.

Ah yes, that's what mine is based off of lool

 

[Lazy Einstein]

R U R' U' Sexy Move (Obv)
R' F R F' Sledgehammer (Obv)

R U R' U Sune trigger
R U R' F' Sexy Flick (because I flick with my right thumb most of the time)

(R U R')(L' U' L)(F' U' F) I just call insertions.

I think the Sexy flick should be a thing

Is "Sexy move" and "Sledgehammer" the only standardized names for triggers?

R U R' F' should have a standardized name. Same with R' F R F'

But the 2nd one is sledgehammer.
