There are two defenders with different names. A defender guarding the offensive handler is known as the marker. He marks the disc. A defender anywhere else is just a defender. No special name.
If a player on defense catches a disc or hits it to the ground, then possession changes. The player may continue play going the opposite direction. If the disc hits the ground, any player may pick it up on his or her team to continue play. This is similar to an interception in American football.
An offensive player makes what is known as a cut. It is basically an L shaped run; a player runs in a direction, and then makes a sharp turn into an opposite direction to attempt to break away from their defender.
Just as in basketball, a pick is when a defensive player is cut off from the person she/he is defending, usually when that person runs so close to another player that the defender is "picked off." Unlike basketball, it is illegal, mainly because it can be dangerous when players are running at top speed. If a pick is called, play stops and the defender is allowed to catch up. If the offensive player that did the picking catches the disc, they have to send it back to the thrower and the defender is allowed to catch up.
no because that would be cheating, gosh read the rule book
