Your Gaming Jargon?

[azncutthroat]

I don't know about other Escapists, but my friends and I use gaming jargon when playing together. We borrow a lot from the military (i.e. call enemies "tangos", call out enemy positions in military location such as "Sniper, 9 o'clock", use "armor" to designate tanks, APCs, etc., say "Displace" to split up, "Rally point" for rendezvous, and say "Fire in the hole" when throwing grenades) because it's fun to role play, and actually works well for team communication and coordination.
But we've also come up with some of our own terms: "Crack house/meth lab" is a partially run-down building (i.e. "tangos in that blue crack house on the left), "pigs/hogs" is anyone with a MG/LMG, "streakers" are fast-moving run-and-gun enemies (i.e. people who knife in MW2), and "Grandma's house" is a building/place with a lot of enemies or enemy spawn.

Edit: Just remembered: one of my friends like to say "Deep Throat" when he's sneaking behind enemy lines.

So Escapists, do you use gaming jargon?

Well im from hawaii and most the guys I play with are hawaiian or want to be hawaiian. So we call enemies Haole's and we say things like Pau "finished" after clearing a room.

Oh and touchdown is used to describe clearing a flag with a long distance nade.

 

[Space Spoons]

Me and my friends took to calling Baby Peach "Baby *****" in Mario Kart Wii, because the AI controlling her always seemed to win by an obscene margin. That's about it.

Oh, that's a nice one!

 

[orangebandguy]

My jargon mainly extends to 'GET THE FUCKING FLAG YOU MORON!'

That translates as 'my friend, may you take the liberty of obtaining the enemy flag on this most pleasant of days?'

Although I know TF2 slang, and use words like 'kritz' or 'engie.' Nothing flash.

We designate run down buildings as "Shants," in lieu of shanty towns.

But aside from that, my jargon aptly mimics yours.

 

[Pielikey]

For some reason "ub blub blub blub" (Drowning noises) if you're in need of assistance has become lingo. For the scorpio turret in Borderlands we call it a "Dispentryporter" because it dispenses health, defends us, and Teleporter is just thrown in for balance.

Huh, you also use military jargon?

Affirmative.

Depends on the game though, and even then I usually only do it with friends, save for a quick "Roger that" or "Solid copy" online.

 

[Deviltongue]

"Faced". It's like headshot + 1 and it can be call in any situation. Jumped down out of a window in an FPS and headshot a dude on the way down? FACED! KO'd a dude by Jabbing him in SF? FACED! Slapped your friend really hard when he was talking smack? FACED!! You should all start using it.

 

[Pimppeter2]

"You son of a *****, how the fuck do you convert on a 4th and 8? Wtf is that? FUCK YOU Madden you untalented fuck"

Does that count?

I kinda like to talk military in shooters, friends or no friends; I think it inspires team moral. And it just sounds cool. It also draws out vets and makes for good conversation starters.

 

[chromewarriorXIII]

The only thing that we really do is in MW2 we say "Planting A/B" or "Defusing A/B" Besides that, we're able to communicate pretty well and do good without using words. It's mostly a matter of learning what to do and how we each play the game.

Also, for a really good game winning kill one of us will usually yell out "Ooh, right in the vagina!" no matter where the shot hit. I don't know who came up with it but it stuck.

After reading some of these, I might start to use them with my friends.

 

[Dr. wonderful]

Whenever I hear/ see a bad sigh In a game, I say "Sepiroth is closing in, goddamnit! Sepiroth is closing in!"

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

I tend to act like the Merchant from RE4 alot because i wear the similar trench and walk areound saying "what're you buyin"

 

[MorsePacific]

Wow, my jargon is absolutely nothing like that. It's mostly things like "There's a dude behind you." or "TAKE IT!"

 

[Super_Nintendo_Chalmers]

Not sure if it's jargon, but recently instead of saying something like; "I'm beating the shit out of these guys!"
I'll say something about forcefully removing faecal matter from their anuses.
I think it'd be best if I didn't post it.

 

[S.R.S.]

Flibbidly Flobbidly Floop. Houses/nests in general.

Derp for newbs.

Underpants gnomes for snipers, you never see them until they take your underpants (life). Why yes. I do like southpark. How did you know?

 

[Quiet Stranger]

Well in Goldeneye source when I have my knife out I'll say "FUCKING KNIFE!" and if someone is on a floor above me I'll say "FUCKING JUMP, I'll END YOU!!!"

 

[Darquenaut]

Mine isn't so much jargon, but when I get pissed off at a game... say for example, the AI Hakumen on BlazBlue beating me for the 20th time in a row... my dialect becomes less comprehensible and become a loose stream of incomprehensible words. For example, instead of coming out, "Hey, that's the third time you used that Distortion Move, I would say that is unfair!" it comes out more like, "You damned god maggot hell what you up come from you did it again you ***** whyyyyyYYYYYYYY?! You got to be unkidding me you WHY YOU CHEAT?!"

I think I'm speaking caveman.
