One term I'd never heard that Arianna mentioned is bump pouring. A quick up-and-down motion while pouring, creates an air bubble that causes a short gap in the stream, allowing one to reposition over another glass and not spill on the counter or interrupt your pour. This helped Arianna pour more seamlessly when moving fast in the Speed Rack competition.
