Your own personal gaming terms...

HASSAN CHOP!
I use that one occasionally, myself, and almost no one gets it. :(

(It comes from an old Bugs Bunny cartoon, based on Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, IIRC. Hassan was a guard with a huge falchion, and he'd say "Hassan CHOP!" before he did.)

ROFL, yes, this is one of mine as well, we used it extensively during our Birthright campaigns.

Also,
PFAP which stands for Place Foot Apply Pressure. This was our description used for an "Open Door" roll for our 2nd-ed games.

Divine Smackdown was something I coined recently, to describe the gods getting really angry at a PC for violating whatever religious tenets of his paladinhood or clerichood, so that he just gets a smack from the heavens.

Interesting....

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

Geoff.


We always used it as a harmless way of saying we hit them with the healing. Had no idea it could mean anything else, except maybe a hockey player (Radek Bonk).
 

Maxing B*****d: A munchkin, min/maxer etc...we'd used this in group for ages, and were quite surprised to see that other gamers had no idea what we meant by it.

The Plot Golem: Whenever a blatantly Plot Important NPC or clue turns up to coerce the players onto the right road, there may be a sighting of this mysterious creature.

To decaffinate: To relieve one's opponent of his head.

Explode in a ball of LB: Whenever a PC performs a blatantly stupid, suicidal action this pops up. Named for my 15 year old Little Brother, or LB as he's commonly known. This one came about after his Warforged PC inadvertently wounded & killed several PCs with a trapped scroll, and then had 2 consecutive All Flesh Must Be Eaten PCs commit suicide by explosion.

Oh, I cannot tell you the number of times I have prayed for the existance of a plot golem...

I thought of some more we use, for when we fail skill checks.

  • "Glub" means "I failed my swim check."
    "What floor?" means "I failed my spot check"
    "What planet?" means "I really badly failed my spot check."
    "Pardon?" means "I failed me listen check?"
    "PARDON!" means "I really badly failed my listen check."

    We also have the term "Fake 20", which is invoked when you roll a natural 1 on an important check (like a saving throw). To 'fake 20' means to actually roll a 1 but for the DM to pretend you rolled a 20. One day, I'm gonna have a DM who lets me do it. Just once...

With Complete Scoundrel out, you could get a feat for that. :D
 


X-Bot Originally coined for the playing a character of a often absent player. Based on Bots from CS or other multiplayer games. Comes complete with robot voice.

4d6 moment A moment of monumental stupidity leading to character death, typically permanently. Coined because that is the method of character generation.

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.

LOL. Looks like my post got lost in the shuffle...
 

Vulpa'ed - Term for whenever someone gets killed by a single massive blow. Named for a newly made Druid (Vulpa) who got smeared by a crit from a full power attacking ogre barbarian.
 

Wall of Claws: Wild Shaped Druid in wall of meat mode.
Bouncy bouncy: Time stop, reverse gravity, prismatic sphere. As kill them all bouncy, bouncy.
BCS: Battle control spells, sleep, entangle etc...
Scrooged: Not enough treasure. We've been scrooged.
Street Legal: RAW (Rules as Written)
Darwinist DM: The bad guys if smart or have a high wisdom take precautions in order to survive.
M'Dowa: A PC who loses an enormous amount of hirelings. An pariah to NPC's.
Fighter/Magic User: A term for a PC that never carries his/her weight in combat.
