[QUOTE="Thunderfoot, post: 5541469, member: 34175"] [B]Ghetto Crit[/B] is an evolved term - it went from the one (rolling 1s on a crit damage roll) to rolling max damage outside of a critical. So depending upon edition, your usage may vary. As to being offensive to ghettos, I lived in one for 15 years, NOTHING is offensive to ghettos - they suck and no one should have to live that way. I think the term is [I]quite [/I]apropos when you roll ones for damage - not so sure about the other. [B]"I whack it with my (sharp/sharpened) metal club!"[/B] - a short lived but humorous meme from the late 80s owning to fighter's being sick of saying, "I swing/attack/hit it with my sword". [B]"I attack the darkness!"[/B] - reference to a comedy sketch describing the "horrors and evil" associated with D&D, that then depicts the most inane group of roleplayers in the history of the game including "Galstaff sorcerer of light" who uses [I]Magic Missile [/I]to - attack the darkness. [B]"I declare my dodge on you!"[/B] - El Senor Vorpal Kickasso's catch phrase from the [U][I]Goblins[/I][/U] web comic, said when he used dodge on an enemy. Saw lots of use at RPGA tourneys after the release of 3.5. [B]"I FART on it." [/B]- Abbreviation for "Find And Remove Traps" from the thief skills in 1st/2nd and OD&D. Obviously said by thieves. [B]"Save versus Cat" [/B]- Usually stated when a feline runs across a gaming table scattering minis, dice or whatever. Can also be used as save versus child/baby/etc. Has seen a resurgence in use in MMOs for when said feline's jump on the keyboard of a player in an attempt to secure "pettins". - usage "Sri guys, I failed my save vs cat, she ran me into the lava." [B]"You fall in lava, you die, no save"[/B] - a quote from the Lava Rules released a few years ago. Quite literally the entire text of the rule. [/QUOTE]
