Egyptian vs. Drop Knee vs. Knee Drop

I am pretty sure that "Egyptian" is the least common term for this important climbing technique (and not very appropriate), but I am not sure between Drop Knee and Knee Drop as to the most WP:COMMONNAME. Before I change this, any views (or editors who can quantitavely assess this with google search tools)? 78.18.245.165 (talk) 18:32, 12 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you. I've never heard anyone call this move "Egyptian" or even "Knee drop", just "drop knee". Maybe it's regional or dated? Although I watch plenty of climbing content from the US and Europe and haven't heard of it before this list. I also don't think the included picture is particularly enlightening, it shows a very minor drop knee. Maybe I'll see if I can get a better picture next time I'm at the gym.
