Input requested!
In the Javadoc of a games program, the developer wrote that the code "fires
the players who met in the lobby into the game". I understand what he means,
but I think it sounds like we're treating them like human cannonballs! I
googled on the expression, but the results were (I felt) inconclusive. Is
this a standard phrase? (The developer says yes, but as his experience is
primarily with this company, he might be reporting intracompany jargon as
standard...)
