Default Pushing an edge

"Pushing an edge" seems to be one of the new buzz phrases (the card-runners guys use it and I've heard others use it)... I can think of a few things, like having position, that was constitute an "edge" but wanted to hear what you all think of when players talk about an "edge."

Position yes.
Also momentum.
If you beat someone a few hands in a row they may back down from you.
They may not be on tilt, just a little shell shocked (TMNT)

There are lots of things that I consider to be edges that you may not be thinking about, if you are thinkign in terms of position and other things like that... Things like:

-Not tilting (or playing against an opponent who is on tilt)
-Being a better play then my opponent (duh)
-Being properly bankrolled for a game, so I can play right

Stuff like that.

Slight favourite.
ie. you are 51% to win the hand so you get your money in = Push the edge.

Edges

- Position
- Your starting hand
- Your postflop play compare to your opponents
- Your stack compare to your opponents (more so in tournament play)
- Opponent is on Tilt

This is not a new buzz thing, as it's been discussed for quite some time (and there are some monumental threads at 2p2 regarding this)... and Chip had it right: pushing percentage advantages.
