We once played in a WWII one shot.

We were americans supposed to meet the french resistance deep in german territory. So of course, everyone was on high alert.

We meet the resistance:

Frenchman: "Are you the Americans?"

Us: "Yes"

And with that simple word and no other credentials, the resistance laid out there whole battleplan!!

We ribbed the GM about that one for a long time:)
 

Our cleric got a bit confused over some of his spells:

Cleric: I'm going to be casting Death Knell on you guys a lot...
Party: Wait, what?!
Cleric: Yeah, it lets me know what your hit points are low so I know when to heal you...
Party: ... that's Deathwatch!
Cleric: ... oh.
 

We were chasing down a pair of Rakshasas who had stolen a dangerous artifact. We had found out what they were, though they hadn't yet revealed themselves to us yet and they were in the process of giving us the usual threats about not pursuing them via a projected image. Which lead to this conversation.

“I have a better idea,” says Korm. “We’ll find you and kill you, take back the Key, and turn you and your friend into Rakshasa-skin rugs.”

As the others chuckle, the image says calmly, “I assumed after your visit yesterday that now you know what I am, but I didn’t want to assume. Anyway, that makes things more convenient.” The figure’s features shift and reform, stretching and growing, developing fangs and a covering of pale white fur marked with black stripes, until a rakshasa looks back at the Angels. “That’s better,” he says.

The response from the Angels isn’t quite what he might have expected. Nameless says dryly, “You’re white. That’s good – it’ll match our drapes.”
 

A few spells we've re-named over time to suit the situation:

Tenser's Herniated Disk - a floating disk that's been overloaded.

Phantasmal Filler - a Phantasmal Killer where the intended victim saves and ignores it.

We have a Dwarf Cleric in our game named Naug, who of course casts...Naugury.

Lanefan
 

Player 1: "Man, when the Rogue died last week, I had never seen anyone as cold as y'all!"

Player 2: "You mean the eulogy & service- 'You're dead, dude- glad its not me! I get his boots!'"

Player 1: "Yeah- I mean...is anyone even carrying his body?"

Player 3: "Nah- we left his ass up on cinder blocks."

Player 2: "Eh, maybe we shoulda- he'd make a good bludgeoning weapon..."

A few spells we've re-named over time to suit the situation <snip>

Cowkill: Drops a Heifer on target.

There was also a recent discussion with one of my friends... we've been talking about putting a new game together, with me DMing, but haven't actually picked a setting. Thankfully, this was all over IMs, so I got to keep a copy of it...

Pat: Entertain me!
Tom: where's my new campaign? you won't be entertained until then
Pat: Fine, make a character.
Tom: What setting?
Pat: ... you know, it'd be funny to just let you make whatever... :P
Tom: I'm a Shifter Jedi pledged to the Federation of Allied Planets!
Tom: oh and gandalf is my man slave
Pat: Well, at least it'd be better than a chaotic good Drow ranger.
Tom: Did I mention that I'm a good jedi with deep yerning pain that will soon lead me to the darkside?
Tom: yearning*
Pat: Noooooooooooooo!
Tom: And I'm also the youngest in a family of jedis... the littlest jedi you could say.... but I won't let that get me down... I think I can I think I can
Pat: You done? :P
Tom: Not quite. I'm creating. Don't rush me
Tom: And... and there's a beautiful daughter of the evil Romulan Sith Lord that I'm madly in love with... that will be the driving force of my redemption from the dark-side that will eventually lead me to killing her father!
Tom: But she will think that he has killed me... because his previously unknown apprentice tells her that I am dead and she commits suicide.... and then in a massive fight near her newly poisoned corpse the apprentice and I fight!
Tom: But we are so powerful we fight to a stand still... and our force essences unite creating Super Jedi Shifter! And I have a power level of over 10000!
Pat: Ok. You realize its a Space Opera, and not a Soap Opera?
Tom: I'm NOT DONE YET!
Tom: And then an evil race of technology haters appear from another galaxy and I can't sense them in the force and I die
Tom: Now you can criticize you angry angry man
Pat: Hey, you die in the end, what could I possibly criticize? :P
Pat: I mean... that was your backstory. And you died. Before the campaign started.
