I often refer to my comfort by saying

"My comfort gauge is at the fullest" (Like now in my house)

or

"My comfort gauge is in the red" (When the appartment needed to be cleansed)

(Taken from the Sims 2)

Or when I arrive to a new place I never been before I say
"New Area", like "Airport area", "Beach area" or "E3 area"

(Taken from any Sega Fishing games)

And of course, if I say that in front of other people, I make sure that they at least know what I'm talking about.

EDIT: There was also the "Dead or Alive factor" when we wanted to talk about boobs in front of a girl playing DDR.

Really? Wow.

 

[Duck of Death]

Well, pwn3d (pronounced p-w-n-3-d, not owned :lol) and gibs have attained the status of "UNIVERSAL WORDS" in our social group. They apply to anything and everything!

 

[DCX]

:lol

I used " It's going to be a big one " ( Sega Bass Fishing ) when i was going to have sex with my ex...hence why she is now my ex

DCX

 

[AniHawk]

I've got my cousins to say "OWNED" now. I think that's about it though.

 

[AniHawk]

:lol

Really? :lol

 

[Fixed2BeBroken]

"owned" is said alot amongst me and my friends.

but thats about it.

cant bring myself to say noob/1337/nub or shit like that in real life....(hell i dont even say it in online games anyways)

 

[shuri]

I use 'owned' in real life all the time. I infected lots of my friends with that expression too, some of them who barely use the internet. Even my own mother says 'owned' a lot.

 

[kumanoki]

In my group we really only use gaming terms in a derogatory self-depreciating way. I guess that keeps us from feeling like the gaming geeks we actually are.

 

[DCX]

Really? :lol

:lol Yeah...well it wasn't the reason we broke up, but i'm sure it was on her list of DCX's fuckups!

DCX

 

[Foreign Jackass]

Yeah. I use ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US all the time. Or NOT.

You guys are geeks.

 

[fallout]

:lol Yeah...well it wasn't the reason we broke up, but i'm sure it was on her list of DCX's fuckups!

#4325 - Always had to say "DCX" everytime he finished.

 

[Memles]

Yeah...I've gotten into the habit of using Owned all the time. And, "That's Par", said idiotically by the female GBA golfer when transported into MGTT, will now enter my vernacular...for other reasons.

 

[Mr Nash]

Well, as long as people don't start running around saying, "Oh em jee! Argh oh ef el em eh-i oh one one one one!" I think we're all gonna be A-Okay.

 

[Gantz]

I used owned and weaksauce a lot.

 

[Cubsfan23]

I've recently gotten my brother to say Owned. I will never get tired of that word.....

 

[Sumasshu]

I say owned, powned, and sometimes even pzowned (only in a joking manner with people who know what I'm talking about, of course)

 

[DCX]

#4325 - Always had to say "DCX" everytime he finished.

How'd you know? :lol

DCX

 

[Scrow]

though not strictly a gaming term I tried to make 'owned' a word in regular circulation in conversations. it never stuck though. I even tried the 'i'd hit it' thing, but they were like "you'd hit her? huh?"

obviously my friends aren't avid internet users. i don't try using those sorts of terms anymore...

 

[sureshooting]

 

[Wario64]

"Flawless Victory"

 

[Jack Random]

One of my Guildies in WoW often has to log out because of "Wife Agrro"

 

[Keyser Soze]

When I met my cousin after she had her first baby I walked up to her in the hospital bed and say "Babeality" in my best Mortal Kombat announcer voice. She is a avid gamer so she burst out laughing.

 

[Bishman]

I use 'owned' in real life all the time. I infected lots of my friends with that expression too, some of them who barely use the internet. Even my own mother says 'owned' a lot.

So do I, sometimes we use 'you got served!'

 

[kumanoki]

Ah, I forgot. The perennial 'Fission Mailed'. Used more often than I'd prefer.

 

[cvxfreak]

Nope, don't think I do.

 

[Kai Dracon]

I hear <something>-get! on occassion around here. Sometimes "mission start-o!" in a cheesy stereotypical Japanese engrish accent when starting to do something.

Also, "tine bonah!!" from the engrish of Virtua Racing - can't beat a classic.

Oh, and the term "aggro" is popular as well.

Geeky? Who the hell cares! Beats wigger-based wannabe hip-hop slang!

 

[Kenobi]

While not really a word per say, but I use this, as well as another street fighter buddy of mine, but whenever we see something that hurts on tv, or when either of us gets owned, we do the "uraaa uraa uraa" sound (think Ryu from the original Street Fighter II). The "Damn dude, darkside points" comes up sometimes too when someone's being a dick.

I tried calling my xbox the "xdude" for a while, but I forget to do so most of the time.

Edit: Once in a while I'lll shout out "Damn the patriots!" Yeah.

 

[impirius]

I say "What the heck?" in my best Star Wolf voice all the time... don't think anyone's caught on yet.

And lots of the Mortal Kombat announcer voices.
"Superb" "Excellent" "You weak, pathetic fool"

 

[explodet]

I'm actually surprised how many people get the reference when I say - out of the blue - "Warrior needs food, badly!"

 

[Grizzlyjin]

So do I, sometimes we use 'you got served!'

Oh man, my group went through that for awhile. Actually we still say it sometimes. You have to make sure you say it like they did in the movie. :lol

My friends and I have been using "OWN3D" and "noob" for the past year. Some of my friends really got into Gunbound during senior year, so we had this little phrase that started popping up in everyday conversation. "Lagging is for noobs, only noobs lag."

My ex-girlfriend and I also had this little thing where we would say "SUV Game Over." I have no idea where the hell it came from, just some random thing that popped up once and everybody wanted to use it after that.

I've said "Devils never cry" a few times, but nobody EVER gets what I'm talking about. Damn non-Devil May Cry playing bastards.

Now all my friends just say "Don't make me skeet skeet in your mouth." I don't really like that one though.

 

[hooded pitohui]

my friends and i will randomly yell out SNAAAAAAAAAKE for no apparent reason. i don't know if that counts for anything.

 

[Mama Smurf]

Well, pwn3d (pronounced p-w-n-3-d, not owned :lol)

Wait...are you saying you spell it out? If not, you're going to have to explain, because I can't pronounce pwn3d. It sort of comes out "Pwerthreed".

 

[fennec fox]

I pronounce it "pooned" myself

 

[Mama Smurf]

Well that would make more sense, but as he actually puts a 3 in the way he pronounces it rather than just in the actual word, I'm a bit confused.

 

[Saki]

I call the guy at my work a 'BOSS'

 

[etiolate]

Yesterday i said "I've got more red flags than a game of minesweeper" and people just stared at me blankly.

 

[Kiriku]

A few examples...

Among some of my friends, there's this quoting from the Swedish version of Diablo going on every now and then, which was hilariously translated, with voices and all, into Swedish (very few games are).

"The smell of death surrounds me!", preferably when someone farts
"Now THAT is a big mushroom!" when we feel like it

I also have this other friend who sometimes speak with Starfox "voices"...
"Blu bleh blu bleh blu-blu-bluh, dun du-dut dun du-dut"

 

[bobbyconover]

Only the terms that aren't dead nerd giveaways, such as "Nice on!" or "FISSSHH!" Sometimes I'll bust out "don't get cocky, it's gonna get rocky," but only when actually applicable to a situation.

 

[Sho Nuff]

I will say "Here comes the BOSS" <-- Spikeout reference whenever my boss walks by. And yes, he gets the joke.

I also do the Covenant I-Just-Killed-You laugh frequently.

 

[ElyrionX]

I use lingos such as owned, ownage, pwned, leet (1337), noob, etc.

Oh and I pronounce "pwned" as "powned". It's supposed to be combination of "owned" and "pawned", I guess.

 

[hobart]

Roommate of mine used to say uber and gosu all the time and I wanted to punch him for it... but he was doing it just to piss me off.

I used to say "Superb" back in the day... but no longer.

Only thing I say that faintly resembles anything video game-ish would be "losing visual" whenever my glasses fog up from change in climate: it always gets a good laugh.

 

[cubicle47b]

Aside from owned I can't think of any videogame terms we use (and I used that because of this board).

We make an absurd amount of Halo 2 references right now, though.

 

[DCX]

" What is this? It's _____ i hope it's not ______ ______ " :lol i used that alot back when RE was popular i would subsitute the blanks for whatever fit the situation sometimes it made for fun times :lol

DCX

 

[D-X]

I used to say "Yosh","Yoyshung!", "mig-e-da", "hidari-da" from Shenmue II (crate lifting job with Delin). Apologies for speeling.

All this time, I've thought "pwned" was an intentional misspelling of "owned", like a |337 spelling of "owned" but with a letter wrong instead of the usual |337 alphabet.

 

[abobo ripley]

"Fortune smiles upon thee" and "of gold, thou hast gained xxx", staple lines from the original DW have always been fun to say.

I love saying "Quadra-slam" for any kind of potential four-element based situation, whatever that may be.

thats because it is. notice how the 'p' and the 'o' are next to each other? it was originally a joke on the "noobs" who hit the p when they tried to type "owned". its not pronounced "pooned" either, and especially not "p-w-n-3-d" however the hell you even say that...

 

[Unison]

I love the way that videogames use the word "Item" as a catch-all.
