zerg rush
Quantity over quality
Zerg rush comes from the video game StarCraft, where the Zerg faction overwhelms opponents with swarms of cheap, quickly-produced units.
The tactic extends to any strategy of flooding an opponent with sheer numbers rather than superior force: They zerg rushed the enemy base before defenses were up.
Google once featured an Easter egg where searching "zerg rush" caused Os to devour search results.
