Yep, waste is for wall-of-steel.  I'll dig up some past articles on designing
if you're interested.  A quick rundown from the old days of DM:

WS, waste - wall-of-steel
PL, PLU, plunger - parry-lunger
L, LU - lunger
ST - striker
B, BA - basher
PR, PRP - parry-riposte
PS, PST - parry-strike
TP, scum - total parry
AB, AIM - aimed blow
SL - slasher

expert - 80% skills in one area
advanced expert - 100%
master - 130%
advanced master - 170%
grandmaster - 220%
archmaster - 280%

crit attack/dodge/parry - something like:
 (name) unleashes a piercingly accurate thrust!

dixie, dixie cup - gladiators made solely to win early (low WIT and low
 WILL usually, with high ST, very tall, possibly high SP)

manager Crip - cheap, #*@!i^g b$#^@&d! ;)
manager Mr. Lee - slime, scum, really nice guy....

I believe John maintains the DM FAQ.  Listening, John? :)
