Feel free to add to this list but these are some of the best ones that should improve your team play drastically.
Cut Noise (T): This is typically when your team is choked/stalled out of a bombsite by utility. "Cut Noise" effectively means everyone stops making any type of noise to bait the defenders into a rotation. This phrase is usually coupled with "Rexecute/Rehit."
Reexecute/Rehit (T): This usually follows after "Cutting Noise." Simply means try to hit the bomb site again after a few moments, allowing the situation and utility to reset.
Default (T): When you spread out your team to take control of multiple parts of the map. Works really well when a team is quickly rotating and not playing together.
Split (T): Splitting a bombsite means you have at least 2 points of attack. For example, on Bind, this might look like sending 3 B Long and 2 Hookah. This is the best way to overwhelm defenders.
Contact Play (T): Basically means walk up to the bombsite, trying to make as little noise as possible, and then exploding onto the site. A common contact play is following an OWL drone up B Long on Bind and then hitting the bombsite with smokes and utility.
Playing Retake (CT): This simply means you are giving up the bomb site in order to retake with your team later. A popular site to play retake on is B on Haven since it is so hard to hold post-plant as an attacker. Note: If you do decide to play retake, make sure you have the utility to support that (smokes, flashes, dart, cam, etc.)
Anti-flash: Playing antiflash means that you are tucked behind cover, waiting for the flash, then peeking off it. This effectively nullifies the flash and gives you a slight advantage in the engagement. This is best used when playing against a Breach or maybe even a Skye.
Play off contact: This in essence means bait your teammate (you should be hidden/behind cover) until they are committed to a fight (in other words, have taken contact). You are waiting for the exact moment when the enemy is looking at your teammate so that you can peek out and get an easy kill. This is known as getting a trade kill. Very reliable in man-advantage situations to guarantee the kill. People usually say "Bait me, I'm low" or "Trade off me."
Play your life: This means you are playing to stay in the round as long as possible, usually resulting in passive play. This is very key if you play an agent with a high impact ultimate. A great example of this is Killjoy, whose ultimate is fantastic retake utility.
Double Swing: Pretty self-explanatory. Works well in isolated 2v1 fights, don't line up lol

My previous video gives context. Just like the vandal, the guardian has a RNG pattern pick for the first 3 shots and maybe more(3 is just a round number I do since most people burst fire 3). Once again no set bloom pattern like many believe. Idk why they did this even for a semi-auto weapon.
