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 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 recurring theme, as they were probably accustomed to the term.
