(accompanied by miming slowly applying oil to one's body): Joke derived when part of a party treasure included oil of invisibility (instead of the typical potion version).  The thought of applying the oil of invisibility (esp. during a battle to escape foes), which was described as being the same consistency as massage oil, brougth forth the joke."I see a tree.": Stated after a horribly failed Spot check.  Though it originated from failing a Spot check in a forest, tree-Spotting continues in various areas--dungeons, cities, etc.  When the Spot check is really abysmal, the character who failed the check often sees some sexually suggestive image/silhouette in the aforementioned tree, which is why the character's attention is focused on the tree instead of the immediate surroundings."Sneak-sneak-sneak...": To Move Silently or Hide, esp. when a character with no ranks in either skill, armor penalties, and other negative modifiers attempts the check.  Originated from a Rifts game where the player of a huge monstrous PC (mountain-sized, according to the text) attempted to sneak up on another, much smaller person, out in the open."Reflex, you say...": Said by one player of a PC in World's Largest Dungeon who had a low Dexterity and poor Reflex save, yet who always found himself in situations where a Reflex save was necessary (pit trap, spells, etc.)."Oh, s***...": A mannerism of often-stated bit of profanity by a player who's notoriously indecisive during gameplay (whose indecisiveness has impeded progress in the game, esp. during combat).  Usually used in place of stating a meaningful reaction or decision by the player."What?": A mannerism of one player who seems to miss out on conversations or descriptions during the game, though it appears that he was paying attention.  Notably humorous when said in response to the DM's request for a Listen check."C'mon...": The accompanying dialogue used in conjunction with a Diplomacy check by a generally non-verbiose gamer.  Originated by the player who created the "What?" comment.</blockquote>
