"Company Picnic" - Refers to that one mob in a spawn who, for some ridiculous reason, did not seem to notice the carnage of his buddies going down. I'm not sure where the name came from, but it stuck.
"Half-Circle of Death" - Refers to the phenomenon that occurs within Mayhem missions where one spawns massive amounts of Longbow at once. After either killing you or being unable to locate you, they always seem to form a neat semi-circle and stay there.
"Pirate Bomb" - Refers to a common maneuver in which I soften up a tough group with a Thunderous Blast, followed imediately by my friend TPorting me to safety. Named so due to my character being a pirate, dropping a nuke out of nowhere with little personal risk.
"Operation Extreme Chaos" - A common tactic used by the same two characters, my friend and I both being /Storm Corruptors, in which we just unload all our secondary powers with wild abandon to create absolute havoc. Usually this is a nigh-unstoppable tactic.
The off-beat space pirate...Capt. Stormrider (50+3 Elec/Storm Science Corruptor)
The mysterious Djinn...Emerald Dervish (50+1 DB/DA Magic Stalker)
The psychotic inventor...Dollmaster (50 Bot/FF Tech Mastermind)

I've started calling all ambushes Bacon Trees, after Hambush. Only a few people seem to get it, but it's growing!
I had an old SG, sadly it's more or less defunct now but any time anything went wrong, ever, even if he wasn't playing, it was all Cae's fault. ALWAYS. NO EXCEPTIONS. NOT EVER.

Spoodbeest, after an amusing typo last year or something. I have even accidentally said this in voice chat when Venting with global channel buddies.
There's also the butt pull/body check/body pull, which is when you get a tiny bit too close and aggro a spawn before you mean to. Butt pull is what I use most commonly.

Those who are in the EoJ should recognize "Blah" as my way of saying hello.
And occasionally when I'm broadcasting that I'm LFT, I use "Awesome/Awesome" instead of the character's powersets.
To right the countless wrongs of our day, we shine the light of true redemption, that this place may become as paradise. What a wonderful world such would be....
I'm sorry what was that, I couldn't hear you over my TRAGIC PAST!!

One time, just for a laugh I three slotted it with run speed. I wasn't so popular on teams for a few days until I changed it back.
Whenever I play my ice/Dark Corr and we're doing a co-op TF and there's a Kheldian on the team, I always put the anchor on the void or quantum, just for kicks.

"Pulling with my face" is my usual excuse for accidentally hitting R just before a nice full room.
I also refer to "going to Oingy-Boingy" since Oroboros is not a word I can often spell, particularly late at night.
Speed Boost is often called Jolt, due to the reaction of the character who gets it.
And of course the popular-with-the-younger crowd "Swiper, no swiping" as I jump up and down on top of a Freak. If you don't have small kids around go look it up.

The demon Bat'zhul in the Cap SF is "Fatty Batty".
More from our crew:
"BRB soloing" - a particular form of splitting the group which a few players and/or their melee characters are especially prone to. Darn scrapperlock.
"Dangerbacon" - debt, and/or high-difficulty-setting missions that are likely to give a lot of same. From the purple/brown color of debt on the xp bar. Vanished for all practical purposes, along with debt, with the advent of patrol xp.
"Scrapper pull" - run up, punch someone inna face, and run back to the group.
"Orangebagel" - guess.

When on a team and an unexpected ambush/VERY VERY large mob happens and the whole team is fighting nonstop with our backs against the wall for a good 5/10 minutes then i usually tend to get more excited the battle goes on for.
Whenever that happens, since to me thats my favourite part of the game. Fighting with your back against the walls against nonstop enemies which SHOULD have finished you off by now . . . . .
Always tend to shout out GO GO TEAM CARNAGE!
