Definitions
Baron Nashor — the major objective in the river pit. Kill it and your whole team gets a buff that empowers minions and supercharges your push. Taking Baron is usually the setup for ending the game.
Contesting it is half the late game. 'Baron dance' is the standoff where both teams hover the pit, nobody wanting to commit first.
