[QUOTE="Myris, post: 1287181, member: 15902"] Hmmmm...wow...I think I've just realized two very important points: #1 - I'm waaaaay out of touch with the RPG lingo. I have NO clue what most of the objectional phrases were/are and have never heard them used (exceptions: "newbie", since it's used in more than just RPG; "munchkin", since that was explained to me upon my first RIFTS experience; "rollplaying", which was recently introduced to me). #2 - I'm guilty of starting (and/or heavily participating in...don't remember which) a "rollplaying" vs. "roleplaying" rant session on my publishing company's email group that lasted for about a week... Honestly, I didn't know that these terms were so heavily used, lol. I'm more used to the moronic (if not rather amusing) anecdotes rather than lingo (you know...the annoying phrases from games past that ALWAYS seem to be brought up in game, providing hours of useless jabber about how such and such yelled "I pick the Glitterboy up by his boomgun!" before he got splatted...). And I don't know if anyone else ever uses this, but it's an annoying phrase that started off as an amusing one in my group "Tangent Maaaaaaaan" (chortled to the tune of "Trojan Maaaaaaaan", if you didn't catch the reference. I guess it started off as a deterent for the aforementioned tangent phrases, but now has become just as annoying... <sigh> [/QUOTE]
