[QUOTE="njorgard, post: 263838, member: 919"] [b]The Good Ol' Days...[/b] I remember when I used to play with a couple of friends back in Puerto Rico we used to come up with all sorts of colorful phrases we turned into running jokes. Some of these loose their comedic value in the translation from Spanish. Nevertheless here are some of the ones I remember... 1. Eatin' Popcorn - Used when a player is doing absolutely nothing in the game session because his/her character has been taken out of comission or is out of the picture. "Hey guys, I'm seriously eatin' some popcorn here!!! Come get my character!!!" 2. Toweling (Toallazo!!! in Spanish) - When the DM saves a character from certain doom by grace alone. Derived from the boxing term "throwing in the towel". 3. When a character is not contributing to the action in the game we say that he/she was looking at his/her genitals (kinda rough and obscene). 4. The Hammer Drop (el "marronazo" in Spanish) - When the DM begins to rail the characters into certain situations by fudging dice rolls and manipulating the outcome of events. "Hey...I know I made that save vs. paralization! I'm feeling the hammer drop on me dude!!!" [/QUOTE]
