In the latest episode of “Idiots with chainsaws”

The International Guild of Knot Tyers, IGKT, has set out standardized rope terms so that the discussions of new configurations can be online.

So far, there isn't one agreed-upon naming system for felling/cutting.

Any nominations for membership in the International Guild of Felling-Cutters, IGFC

I read that post a bunch of times and it wasn't clear to me.

A coos bay leaves a strip of holding wood in the middle of the stem, pointing in line with the lean. What does that have to do with "leaving the holding wood to one side til last"? And I still don't understand what "a Dutchman on one side of the hinge, or both sides" means. If that means what I suspect it might, you're talking about a kerf cut on both sides of the strip of holding wood. A kerf cut isn't a Dutchman.. and the holding wood isn't a hinge. And leaving a Dutchamn on one side is not a coos bay. Either way, that's about as clear as mud.

Look at the pretty pictures.
In the fundamentals diagram, the “hinge” is removed on either side, thus similar to a swinging Dutchman on each side.
In @ricos diagram from the other forum, showing the T and the Triangle the sides of the hinge can be cut leaving a post.
Another variation is to make the compression cut rotating around the saw while in the cut in a circular motion, like a raided pumpkin pie with one remaining slice of ‘holding’ wood.
A face can be included with all these techniques, each with various degrees of directional control or to act more as a snipe
 
I had never heard of Sanford and Son, I watched the clip and it reminded me of Steptoe and Son, turns out it was an American version.
Steptoe and Son was incredible, but I could see why you’d have to remake it for an American audience.

This was a famous episode, I don’t expect anyone to watch it, but it really captures the bleak nature of early seventies Britain.

Good show, but I prefer All Creatures Great and Small, the original, not the shallow, plastic remake.
