Anything that describes a book or rules or anything that is not edible as something that might be edible. "Meaty", "Crunchy", etc. and "fluff".
Also when people say things like "I loves me some (insert whatever they love)" or make a comment like (drool) about something or whatever. It's disturbing in a "don't come near me" way. Any expression of lustful emotion over a gaming thing bothers me, outside of simply saying that one might "love" something.
Sure it's anal but that is the purpose of this thread, no?
Oh yeah, and the empty outrage some people get over some gaming things, like "a katana is just a masterwork bastard sword?!?!" or "they took away X special ability for all X's?!?!?" I don't get it, change the rules for them then, it's not like they called yer Mum a hooer.

Oh yeah part two... people who rattle of a ton of abbreviations for things, ANYthings, not just net-speak terms but basic rules terms and feat names. That makes me laugh and cringe all at once.

Only thing that bothers me is the term iconic.

I doubt it's going to go away. And hey, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em! Lemme see...Iconic Triple-Digit Number? Iconic Number*55.5?

IANAL, but FWIW (IIRC), TPKs and MPORPGs are both in the DMG or PHB (IDHTBIFOM). OTOH, RTFR and EWBCIIOTATIATFATUH.

Ichabod, Iconic Punchy Due to Lack of Sleep and Food Guy.

*scatches head*
I'm A Ninja Alien Leader, but For Worldwide International War (Intra-Iconic Railroading Crises), Terminally Proffesional Kender and Many P-ed Off Roaming Personal Gnomes are both in the Devil's Magic Garden or People's Hidden Bookcases (I Daren't Holler To Block Ixitxachitls From Overhearing Me). Overall, Timelines Or Histories Realisticly Tend For Re-writing and Especially Weird Bodies Coming In Impiously Or Treacherously And Trying Intimidation And Terror For Any Territory Under Here.

Yes, that makes perfect sense.

1.) Munchkin. A completely valid word, but one that is used far to often.

2.) Sacred Cow. Another word with some validity that is suddenly being used to describe anything and everything.

3.) Rule 0. Also valid, but it just seems to erk me the way folks use it. Okay we get it already, your not going to use the rule. Is it really necesary to declare it publicly?

I'm also not terribly fond of Buff and other phrases integrated into tabletop gaming from collectible card/figure games and video games. I'm willing to live with these though as I think that if I were to outright condemn them I'd feel like some sort of tabletop gamer snob.
