On the Vampire you lifted the nosewheel to prevent Nose Wheel Shimmy which was pretty fierce. On the T11 if you got shimmy the instruments became unreadable. On the Vulcan B2 with the 301 engines we called Rotate but it was going to go up whether you liked it or not (unless you pushed the control column forward).
