JJ2 English Lexicography project

Let's collect awesome inventive language usage like the transitive verb to ladder sb, like in: "I think they need a lot more teamwork training before they ladder RA again."

This verb is derived from the shortened form of "ladder match": a ladder, like in: "you never played a ladder, you don't even know how to join a clan on JJ NET, and you except(sic!) to play 'ANOTHER' ladder soon?". Another possibility is that whoever coined to play a ladder simply didn't get exactly what the ladder was and faultily assumed that the word referred to a single game played for the ladder.
