[QUOTE="NiTessine, post: 5538301, member: 475"] Over here, that's "kirkko" ("church"), "mökki" ("cabin") or "Kyrkslätt-Vandaforsen" (Swedish proper names of a couple of cities, no idea how this got started). Since my gaming group has mostly consisted of Finns, our jargon has evolved into this unholy Finnish-based mixture of Finnish, English and Swedish, with smatterings of German (because everything is funnier in German) and French. For instance, in my current campaign, where the primary antagonists are serpentfolk, there's a meme about "die unglaubliche magische Serpentvolk!" ("the incredible magical serpentfolk", or something). Also, thanks to the stone giant leader Mokmurian in a Pathfinder adventure, the language of giants now all sounds like "Mok mok MUR [B]MUR[/B]!", spoken with a rising intensity and volume. We also speak of "being left home to cry with Valeros", meaning that a character is mechanically too weak to perform his primary duty in the party. Comes from the Pathfinder iconic fighter Valeros, who... could've been statted more efficiently. Obsolete terms, because the guy is no longer playing with me (or anyone else for that matter - I think he was eaten by [I]EVE Online[/I]), are "to pull a Mikko" (skip the game without telling about it) and "to Mikko" (to start explaining a joke or a concept that everybody got already). Also, any NPC who is suddenly lifted out of anonymity by an improvising player is called Pena (or, in English, Bob). [/QUOTE]
