Defogger - the person who HAS TO uncover EVERY INCH of the mission map. (And usually doesn't have the reveal temp power)

The 'real' CoH term that will confuse newbies: WTF.
Vet: LFM for Manti. It's the WTF.
Newbie: WTF?
Vet: Exactly

The Purple Wall: When the mission is set at max difficulty, for max experience, always resulting in team wipes. Usually during Double XP weekend, but really whenever a sado-masochist is team leader.

Mission Intermission: When cutscenes play. Also known as 'Cinematic Bio Break.' Breaking Into Film: Positioning your character so that when a cutscene starts, you're in it. Rifftraxing: Spamming keybinds so your dialogue appears during cutscenes. City of PowerPoint: When lag becomes so great that all you see are screenshots. Michelle aka Samuraiko/Dark_Respite |
BZZZZZZZTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!! (that there is a buzzer sound.... a bad buzzer sound)
D_R gets her OWN lexicon, do NOT mix it with ours please. we all love what you do, but we don't really care what you call it while you are doing it
now, GO MAKE MOAR VIDEOS!!!!!
Oh yeah, that was the time that girl got her whatchamacallit stuck in that guys dooblickitz and then what his name did that thing with the lizards and it cleared right up.
screw your joke, i want "FREEM"
Dueling Grandpas: When at least two members of your team start arguing about how long they've played the game. "Did you start at launch? Well, I was in beta." "Oh yeah? I was in open alpha because my uncle is a dev!"

i can only assume that typing that reply has taken you away from editing your next video... for shame D_R, for shame

Here are the ones I use most in-game:
Team Grief - Assemble the Team or Team Recall
Prepare to be Griefed - I am most likely TPing you, probably while flying at the height ceiling.
In my own little cult of personality global channel, I've also giving most TFs their own nickname that everyone either figures out what I'm saying or ignores me:
Alicia Keyes Trial - Keyes Reactor
BAMF Trial - BAF
Stutter TF - Admiral Sutter Task Force
Famous Mort SF or the Kal Penn SF - Mortimer Kal Strike Force
Treespec - Any villain Thorn Tree respec, obviously
Freakspec - The middle hero Reactor Respec
No, Just No - Any Shadow Shard TF
And now I share with you the most inside joke-iest of all lingo:
-4 - First person who dies on any trial/TF gets this term of endearment. Named after an un-alpha slotted scrapper who joined us for a Tin Mage who managed to outlive everyone.
Current Badge Hunter: Plot Device (Rad/Thermal/Dark) - 1,268 Xbox Live: Friggin Taser
King of Electricity, Lead Inmate running the Carl and Sons asylum, the "Man" behind the Establishment, Given Honor in Hat Form By Paragon City (Favorite Forum Poster 2006!), Master of Ceremonies of the Fair Use Law podcast

The -4 thing started as a joke and now is an institution for any TF my SG or I lead. People even keep tabs on who the last -4 was and if you manage to do it twice in a row, hell is to be paid via ridicule!|

I think my record is being -4 5 times in a row while on my blaster.

The wisdom of Shadowe: Ghostraptor: The Shadowe is wise ...; FFM: Shadowe is no longer wise.
; Techbot_Alpha: Also, what Shadowe said. It seems he is still somewhat wise ; Bull Throttle: Shadowe was unwise in this instance...; Rock_Powerfist: in this instance Shadowe is wise.; Techbot_Alpha: Shadowe is very wise *nods*; Zortel: *Quotable line about Shadowe being wise goes here.*

I used to hear that term used to mean "really going smoothly and quickly through groups in missions" especially Papers/Radios. It was a sort of compliment to the group, "Man, we are steamrolling this thing!"

Statesman Fun - Things that are fun as defined by Jack "Statesman" Emmert, such as getting wiped twelve times by a boss before finally defeating it. May or may not bear any relationship to actual fun.
brb soloing - Hey, where'd the scrapper go? (god damnit, shad...)
Defeat 12 Orphans - The objective of a hypothetical mission, as written by the devs that gave us the first few issues, to save children from a burning orphanage. A poke at the quality, limited options, repetitiveness etc of the game's oldest content.
Spawnmower - A team that can ki-- er, "defeat" large numbers of foes at a fast, steady pace.
Commerce Break - Everyone's salvage and/or enhancement inventories are full, time to visit the market and/or a vendor or quartermaster to sell it all off.
Council-sized - Large spawns, particularly of Council or Fifth Column. Beloved of characters with AoE powers.
Yeah No Button - Incarnate Judgments. "Look, a spawn of--" "Yeah, no." *ASPLODE*
Facepull - Pulling with a character that has few or no ranged attacks, usually by running up into aggro range and then back to the rest of the team.
Grenade Jumping - Volunteering to sit out a task force, etc when there are more than eight players present from the SG who wish to go. Sometimes several players will attempt to do so at once.
Orangebagel - Lost City of.
Wakie - Awaken inspiration.
Vengeance Bait - A character who expects or actually plans to die in a difficult fight, so as to grant a Vengeance buff to the rest of the team.

I've heard quite a few "Team (name)" based on the team's makeup. Usually teams with 6 or more of the same AT will be dubbed Team...|

- Smashy-Face: Brutes
- Forth Eorlingas: The Brutes all have weapon-based sets, i.e. Broadsword, War Mace, Battle Axe, etc. Shield Defense considered a plus.
- Seafood: Kheldians
- Firing Squad: Blasters and Corruptors
- Sunset Riders: ...with gun-based powersets in general (Assault Rifle, Beam Rifles, Dual Pistols).
- Reb Browns: ...with rifle powersets (Assault Rifle, Beam Rifles)
- John Woo Gun Fu (JWGF): ...with Dual Pistols.
- Zerg Rush: Masterminds
- Robot Zombie Ninja Rush (RZNR): Each MM has a different pet type.
Hollows Marathon: Back when we use to have to run to the far corner of the hollows for a mission facing +4 to 6s.
Zone Marathons: Running from AP to PI using gates thru all the zones as a level one...Pity SSK killed that.
Pull/Skeet (told to the blaster...and there were more than one): The fun of sniping at max range to pull and 2 or more mobs are pulled bringing the full spawn.
Speed Cavern of Transcendence: Back when you could do the C.o.T. with 7 50s and the 1 that unlocked it.
Jello Wrestling Night: when the server could all do a hami raid, not the 50 or whatever it is now.
E.D.: Nuff said.
Dumpster Diving: Back when we use to herd a map into a dumpster, small space and let the blasters kill to PL alts.
Map Herding: Herding the hold map. On my desktop I got a some screen caps of the hollows being herded to the parking lot by the AP gate.
Caps? What Caps!: Before we got a aggro/target caps...good old days of Full Autoing a herded map.
That is all I remember off the top of my head.
I am taking my sig to MWO and MWT. Let them wonder what it means.

I understand why it had to change, but boy do I miss the fun of the dumpster diving map herding. Street targets still had some meat on their XP, too.

Tactics - The act of attacking an AV/end-of-TF boss face first successfully without planning, or sometimes without telling the team. 'Tactics!' '..Is the Brute soloing Nictus Rommy?'
Purpled purple - An IOd Warshade
Purplio - Purple Invention Origin enhancement
Bigpull - The act of multiple characters holding an aggro-cap worth of enemies each, be it on purpose or after all the squishies have died. Can also be pre-emptive where multiple Tank-like characters will pull their aggro cap worth of enemies so that the previously mentioned squishies *don't* die because there's no way to avoid over-aggroing.
I'd also like to vote for a free player who doesn't understand the lingo being a 'Freemer'.
I am the Blaster, I have filled the role of Tank, Controller and Defender
Sometimes all at once.
Union EU player! Pip pip, tally ho, top hats and tea etc etc
Snipe the Portal! - A really bad idea.
(This one dates from before my time, when Praetorian Infernal's demon summoning portal would keep spawning demons forever and ever.)
