There have been many occurrences of Mashing Go/Play throughout the Homestar Runner body of work. This phrase generally replaces the term "push" or "press" in relation to a button. In the southern United States (e.g. Georgia, home of The Brothers Chaps), "mash" is actually a common dialect term, so although it has appeared several times in the H*R universe, TBC might not originally have intended for it to become a running gag, as they were probably accustomed to the term. It may, however, be a reference to "button mashing," a style of playing certain video games where one attempts to make attacks as often as possible, with no regard to the tactical appropriateness of those attacks or to forming combos.
