Personal Slang

Do you have any in-joke slang terms from your time in CoX?

For instance, I have a controller named Blamm (earth/kin). She seems to draw more than her share of aggro, even taking earth control into account with all its AoEs. I thought I was being paranoid, but independent observation has confirmed things like huge mobs clawing their way over the top of the stone/fire tanker that she ran with, JUST to kill Blamm while she was standing quietly in a corner somewhere.

Some of my friends, when referring to having been killed at random by aggro that SHOULD have had nothing to do with them, say that they have been "Blammed."

So, got anything like that?

My first L50 is a stone/stone tanker with invisibility and teleport (among other tertiary powers). His favorite tactic when working with a team is to granite/mud pots up, go invisible, teleport to the dead center of a group, and when the team indicates they're ready, drop the invis.

My SG began to refer to this character as the "stealthbrick."

There's lots of stupid ones.

A completely failed pull-attempt carries the name of one of our friends. So everytime somebody succeeds in aggroing a whole room of enemies, when he only tried to pull a single mob, is called "a Jack-pull". (Jack's not his real name, I don't want to name-and-shame ).

In the Midnighter mission you got to defeat a Rikti, whose name somebody misread as Celine Dion. And in the same mission one of the players got confused with left and right, and decided to hide his mistake by saying "I meant Celine Dion's right, our left".
It's a running gag now. We say "Celine Dion's right" when we mean "left" and vice versa.

I told you they were stupid

Thanks to a typo, the little tics that each represent 10% of a level are Bibbles.

Paragon Protectors are also Pippies, due to an argument during about how to pronounce 'PPs' during a Manticore TF in the early days that took about six billion hours thanks to MoG/Elude ones.

Among the folks I play with, "Bruce" as a verb means pet aggro, after a particularly excitable Stone Golem. And "pulling with R" means forgetting to hit enter before starting to type a message, hitting the R key, and autorunning into the next spawn. "Facepulling" is doing much the same thing, only on purpose, particularly with a non-armored AT.

I play with some interesting people.

Since the first night of CoV headstart, I've been calling Longbow Candycanes.

This thread calls to me

Umm the term

"noob busted"
"busted "
"$target ! Consider yourself busted!"

Usually comes up when i play at least a few times a day. Especially if somebody recognises me for the first time, i usually get a message saying woo its the noob buster!!! I love people having their own signatures as such, gives a great individuality imo

Lil Danny DeVito : Baby New Year

Cornflakes or Flakie : The name Carnifax ended up with on a PuG with a load of happy Elflings one night (if you don't know what an Elfling is you're doing well)

The Glass Landmine : The title bequeathed to me on a Hollows PuG when playing my short-lived (in every sense of the word) Spines/Dark scrapper.

when freakshow self rez we call it a "re-pop".
i heard it from someone one when i was teaming, and now most folks seem to know what it means, or they catch on quick.

I enjoy playing the nickname game:

Midnighters:

Percy Winkley = Percy Useless
Lady Jane = Suicide Jane
C'idion = C'idiot

Posi TF:

Rollister = Rollercoaster

Faultline:

Captain Castillo = Fancy Pants
Fusionette = Fuzzy

many many more, trying to make the PuGs smile

There was a movement on the old EU boards to rename Speed Boost to crack. I think it was due to the effect of those who didn't get it.

My main one:

A Freak rezzing himself is called a 'Chumbawumba' ('cause they got knocked down, then got up again)

A longtime SG-mate got tired of hearing people say "void" or "Q" when playing Kheldians and started saying "bob" instead. Therefore, "bob" is a Void Hunter or Quantum gunner. I've sometimes caught myself saying "bob boss."

I often refer to Red Caps as "dopeys."

Like a lot of people, I usually call Lady Jane "Lady Suicide" and Fusionette "Dumbette." In a sort of extension of this that's more a habit than a term, every time I run the Serpent Drummer mission with the Vanguard party on a team, I make it a point to note that "Dumbette is dressed like a tart." This was really more fun when her skirt was on sideways.

Once, me and a team were doing a mission. (I forget which one.) But one-half of the team accidently got separated from the rest. Then the other half engaged a mob, and the lost half somehow managed to engage the same mob from the rear. I call this the "Sandwich Maneuver."

For me, a Freakshow rezzing is always answered with a loud warning cry of "REEEEEZZZ!!" due to a particularly...enthusiastic member of a street-sweeping team way back in the day.

Any melee attack that results in knockdown/knockback, or defeating an enemy, is met with, "PIKKOW!"

--NT

100-pointer: a rezzing Freak Tank. Taken from a Freakalympics arc run with some SG mates; we decided that if the Freaks got points for fragging us, we should get points for fragging them. The ones that got back up were worth 100.

Dingrush: The period after a level-up when all the high-level inspirations are active. Also referred to as "killkillkill!"

I tend to refer to NPC allies as "idiots," because they are. This sometimes leads to misunderstandings with teammates who aren't in on it.
