-The {{w|subduction}} referred to in the title text occurs when one tectonic plate slides underneath another. In volleyball, a {{w|Spike (volleyball)|spike}} is a type of shot, typically the third of a team's three allowed touches, hit hard over the net from high up down toward the floor on the opponent's side. A "subduction spike" would be a spike hit under the net, and would indeed not be legal and would result in a point for the opponent. [[Beret Guy]] once obtained a [[1388: Subduction License|Subduction License]]. Subduction was also mentioned in [[1829: Geochronology]]. And already again in [[3059: Water Damage]] subduction was part of the joke.
