Kai-bek it is then! Anyway it was written Kebek in old time, to get the indian word right (means where the river gets smaller)

As for lightning bolt, we don't have any special verb, but I often use "zapper", or "cramer", but we prefer fireballs anyway.

Word like curser(with an ai sound), smither, blinder, cleaver, dodger*, slicer, poker, etc.

*That one gets used a lot, "Je l'ai dodgé le ballon" etc.. and most peolple think we talk about a car company.

Anyway, in french, the no parking sign is a P as in english, we even say "parker mon auto" instead of "stationner mon auto".

I used a phrase my brother-in-law used in his group, and it caught on fast.

"PUNK HIM!!! PUNK HIM QUICK!!!!"

It's used when the PCs are scared out of their wits, don't know what to do, but certainly want to direct someone else to kill something that is after them. It's often used by the monk players when facing undead that drain levels with a mere touch, or frightened wizards that are face to face with an uber-melee enemy.

As for lightning bolt, we don't have any special verb, but I often use "zapper", or "cramer", but we prefer fireballs anyway.

Our preferred Frenglish expression is "blaster" (blast-ay). Indicates either a tired player or blowing away an opponent.

A few others that came to mind:

"take his crossbow!!": Utter selfishness with complete disregard for others. My LG character said this phrase immediately after a half-orc character named Krash was dropped by a creature that could only be hit by magical weapons. He had a magic crossbow. The other party members were not impressed. It has stuck since.

"King of Time Wasting": Anyone making the other players wait while he/she performs out-of-game activities, or while browsing rules.

"Ring of DM Control": We say we pull out this item when faced by an apparently hopeless situation.

"Initiative. I hit. He's dead. We split the treasure.": Said in one breath upon first seeing a particularly belligerent BBEG.

"Convention": Said when a die lands in a tipped position between two uneven surfaces. Indicates a re-roll is allowed.

"Luke": Shady die rolling practices. Comes from a player that used to roll, then immediately pick up the die. After mulling for a few seconds, he would announce: "I hit!".

Here's a couple:
"A Schmookler" sorry about the spelling Paul : this is when rolling and a failed roll comes up, to hit, save, skill check etc, the habit of then rolling again to see what "possible results" could have happend.

and

Blakka blakka: this is the universal language of orcs. spoken when a character does not know the orcish language, so he doens't know what they are saying.

and

The Druid Gate Incident: this was the culmination of an all night end of campaign gaming session where we were laying seige to an Impregnable citadel, we couldn't get through the magically treated front gate, someone said "hey send the druids up to the gate to warp wood then we could charge in" it being 6am after a 16 hour gaming session it sounded like a good idea. we forgot about the archers on the wall. They were slaughtered long before they reached the wall. 15 mid to high lvl druids wasted in the span of 30 seconds.
It became a word of warning. "Tread carefully, we don't need another Druid Gate".

This must be where they keep their snakes

Running through a 2E conversion of the Tomb of Horrors, I opened a large wooden chest to discover it filled with poisonous snakes.

"This must be where they keep their snakes" is now used whever someone encouters a silly or out of place trap or, sometimes, just out of frustration at having to deal with something their character just let loose...such as opening a chest full of snakes.

When someone is rolling terribly, we say that "their dice are Ranger'd"

Has nothing to do with Character Class...my last name is Ranger.

I have the worst dice hand in creation.

Inside Jokes... aren't they wonderful?

"Blah" used in much the same way as has been mentioned.

"Download" used in the same way as "blah". As in, "I download the info to you." Comes from having too many computer people in the group. (1 of us has a degree in CS, and 2 others (myself included) are working on it... the rest of use just live on the net.)

"Aahhooommnnn" Impossible to spell, but that's the closest I can get it. Imagine a brown bear/Chewbacca (sp?) sound. This noise is usually followed by "Greased bear!" and then insane laughter on everyone's part.
This one came about when the group was trapped in some strange tunnels we were finding in the forest. We went to go investigate, and got attacked by strange, slimy things. Anyway, we were getting our 3rd level a**s kicked when a dire bear (or the equivelant in 2E AD&D) the the druid had been chatting with came to our rescue. Well, this was about 4 am, we'd been gaming since 5, and this was way past most of our bedtimes (work sucks). So when someone pointed out that the bear as had been described was probably too big to easily fit into the tunnels (as described), someone pointed out that the tunnels/creatures in them were slimy, and, well... we got out of hand off-off-topic.
Now used whenever we encounter something that doesn't quite mesh in a game.

"Chris!" Used when someone in the game complains about the rules excessively, or complains about a rule that they have misread. Chris is one of our gamers.

Well, there are a few:

"Boodley-boodley" (from a former player in a different group) - Denoting use of magic. "I'll use Hold Person if he attacks." "He's attacking." "Boodley-boodley."

---------------
"Negative two!" (from the same player) - Shouted whenever a player with a good armor class is hit by an attack. Any attack. Even magic missile. Started by former player who had a -2 AC (2nd Ed), and would loudly inform the DM of her AC anytime an attack hit her.

---------------
"Bears = bad" - In the first few years we played with our current DM, we lost more characters to bears than *any other monster type*. As such, we have taken to being *extremely* nervous in any encounter involving bears.

---------------
"Like a snow elf in the desert" - Actually happened. First campaign with current DM we had about 10 players, and I don't think we had a single human in the group. One of the PCs was a snow elf. In the desert. That worked, well, about like you'd think that worked.

---------------
"Mario blocks" - Same campaign. We were in a cave system, and our DM was trying to draw a side-view picture (in the days before battlemats) of the ledges in the cave. There was a crevasse in front of us. and a ledge sticking out a little way up. However, the way he drew it, it looked like a block floating in mid-air, a la Super Mario Brothers. We have since used this term to describe layouts we didn't think meshed well.

carpedavid, let me know if you know of any more.
