Names of dice moves?

[tomatoe]

From time to time I hear certain names for specific dice moves under different configurations. For example.

6+5 on the very first move of a new board, take the furthest blot and move him 6+5, called "Lover's Leap"

Now, I'm thinking there might be many such, "Pet" names for moves.

Does anyone know where a list of them can be found?

Do you have a special one from your part of the planet?

- Thanks & take care M.D.

Backgammon
Lover's Leap is also the name of a common backgammon opening, in which, having thrown a 6-5, the player moves a piece from the 24-point to the 13-point.
