Oof! - Used whenever I roll low on a Spot check, after a particularly unperceptive character who apparently needed glasses, because he always ran into stuff.
Feybag - A derogatory term used towards fey, elves, effeminate men, or anyone else we don't like.
Joeing the dice/pencils - Named after a player who always takes dice and pencils from other people, despite the fact that there are several in front of him.
The Mike G. Bonus - Higher ground bonus to attack rolls. Named after the player of a winged celestial character who always managed to get higher ground. Always.
Steveing the Dungeon - Named after the player of a character who could turn Incorporeal at will, allowing him to map out the entire place, traps, monsters, secret doors, etc. Now used whenever we cheat our way around obstacles.

Actually, you're right and it's pretty clear though many people think you can't.RigaMortus2 said:
Back on topic:
PNC - Paper Nose Character (same abbreviation in German), originally used in LARP for real bad players who play very very powerful monsters/NPCs in a very very bad way.
Frontpigs - arcane spellcasters who think they have to do a first row performance.

The term "seagull" is used in Australia to indicate someone of a freeloading, scavenging nature. For instance, if someone goes off to the toilet and someone else finishes his beer, they are a "seagull"...Blackrat said:

Some terms I made up during the just-concluded AOW game in which I played a swordsage:
"I separate mind from body!" -- said just prior to using a Diamond Mind maneuver. Diamond Mind is a discipline with a very meditative, Zen-like feel to it. If said maneuver is a strike, separating mind from body often leads to large amounts of mindless damage. From the Dresden Codak webcomic.
"I separate shame from honour!" -- some strikes lead to so much mindless damage that I eventually said I'd no longer use them in the first round of a fight. But in one particularly scary fight I went back on this.
"my own personal time stop" -- the time stands still maneuver, again from Diamond Mind.

Interesting....
Any reason why you use a non-grandma-friendly slang term for that?

That may be an austraila angle. In america the more likely term is "boink" and its incredibly mild, usually (ime) used to make a joke of the idea. "So.... ya gonna boink her?" is a way of asking a crude question in a non serious way - kinda "kidding on the square" as Al Franken puts it.Geoff Watson said:

"An experienced adventurer" - a multiclass character who is useless. Was the catchphrase of a 17th-level NPC (1 class for each level, there are 17 classes in my game). She'd go "I'm an experienced adventurer!" and get thrashed by monsters. Originally the party was impressed that she would join them (they were 10th-level), but when they saw her effectiveness and she refused to leave...
They encountered her again, as an epic-level character (34th). She had 2 levels in each class.
Again at 51st level (3 levels in each class). She was boasting about her super mighty powers - her 2nd level spells.
And they will meet her again soon at 68th level (4 levels!)
"I open my furry bag of action points!" - meaning to use action points. The party actually HAS a Furry Bag of Action Points, and it got stolen once by the bad guys (meaning they couldn't use action points for that adventure).
