In gaming terminology, "cheese" or "cheesing" refers to the use of non-standard, atypical, but legitimate tactics to win the game. This can mean using game mechanics in such a way that they are unbalanced or misused.
For example, in real-time strategies, a "cheese" strategy can include early aggression or building individual unit types to quickly end the game. In fighting games, "cheesing" can include the use of the same set of moves or combos, which allows you to easily defeat the opponent.
"Cheesing" is often perceived as a less respectful attitude towards players, because it does not require deep understanding or skill in the game. However, it is important to note that "cheese" strategies are part of the game and can be an important part of the way to winning especially at a high level of play.
One of the most famous origins of this term is associated with the Korean StarCraft player community. In Korean, the word "cheese" sounds similar to an expression that means "something that is done so quickly that you cannot prevent it". As StarCraft became globally popular, the term was used by players from all over the world.
