R' F R2 F' U2 F' U2 F R'
R F' U2 F U2 F R2 F' R
an OLL formula?
(wait is this a new formula or an alreeady found formula)
 
I think it’s just a variant of the fat pi oll. The finger tricks look awful: overworks everywhere.
Definitely sticking to the standard alg
 
wdym formula?
Formula used to be the term that Algorithm now is.
Algorithm took over about 2010, 2009 is when you can still see a lot of Formula usage.
Cubers that have been around for a while but stopped cubing regularly years ago can also be found saying Formula.
Shepherd I think still does, to be fair I haven't seen him write for at least 5 years.

I feel that it's a non cuber thing lol
 
So, I inserted your formula R' F R2 F' U2 F' U2 F R' (U2) into my webpage which is called (drum roll) *Formula* Analyzer, and the result is that this alg could be used for OLL 50 but also CLL G1, and that in my database I have a different algorithm having exactly the same effect on the cube: R' F R2 B' R2' F' R2 B R' (U2)
My feeling was that your alg is better than the one in my database since it uses 3 faces only instead of 4 and it avoids the ugly B (but I am less convinced after trying both). anyway, thank you for that.

And according to me, discovering (or re-discovering algs) is always good, and there is no reason why we would avoid the pleasure of these aha! moments. ;)
