That's an IRL saying used by games. I don't think it counts.

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 35 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Speedrunning terms are a gold mine for this sort of thing.

Most obvious one is "gay baby jail".

Shoutout to SimpleFlips

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

what does it mean ? I kinda want to avoid looking it up

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The phrase “gay baby jail” is a roughly 12-year-old internet meme, first attributed to Tumblr user Bolto around 2013 and swiftly adopted as an affectionate pejorative used to “punish” fictional characters (often in the Homestuck fandom) similar to the more widely adopted “horny jail.” Twitch streamer SimpleFlips is also credited with using the phrase to refer to being “softlocked,” or unable to reload or progress, in a video game.

After executing a prisoner, we will feed him to other prisoners and force them to wear clothes made from the skin.

[–] orbitz@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago

Hey now, those clothes were made out of multiple people's skins, not just the person they ate. ... Just Rimworld things.

Wait, isn't that mixing any drink with Galliano?

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

Is that anything like wall humping?

[–] pet1t@lemm.ee 13 points 1 month ago

When my daughter was 2, i taught her to say this. I thought it was hysterical. I was the only one

[–] ThatGuy46475@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

“This is the part where I kill you”

Dota callouts have some interesting ones.

"I gooed the squirrel a bunch, catch her and let Lion finger her."

Edit: And considering that Lion's "Finger of Death" ability is shortened to "fingering", you can guess what the callout is for its upgraded form, "Fist of Death".

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 7 points 4 weeks ago

Every single hit sound/cry of pain in every video game ever. You take out the context and just string a bunch of them together and it sounds hella NSFW.

[–] missingno@fedia.io 6 points 1 month ago

If they try to assault you on wakeup, just DP.
