Ns Slang

JammerJammer Join Date: 2002-06-03 Member: 728Members, Constellation
<div class="IPBDescription">Ever make some up?</div> Natural Selection doesn't have very much slang it seems. There used to be Bob and Tiny back before we had the NS backstory. Now we have some abbreviations. Anyone here use and specific NS slang terms when playing? Heck, make em up.

My slang word:
"Resmonkey"/"Resmonkies"- Marine players whose sole job is to go around capping nodes. They fight only to stay alive in order to cap more nodes!

    "Nipples" - resource nodes.

    i.e. "commander: we need to grab more nipples!" <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    idiot, moron, dumbnut, retard, and 'sigh'

    what I call people who can't do simple tasks which you think would be common sense.

    Such as
    1. Those who stand getting ammo while all 5 teammates die to a massive alien rush. Once they got their 250 rounds they look up and die.

    2. People who follow me like they are my pet dog. Me and the person are asked to guard a node...I walk to check around the corner knowing my teammate is there too...he follows, sigh. So I have to explain "stay!" while I go check around the corner. Treat people like dogs and its funny how often they listen.

    3. My favorite...this gorge who instead of healing the hive and building defense...decides to cap a nozzle. "Heal the hive! Get up DCs" I say...because our only hive is "your hive is dieing". His reply is "Hold on, I need to get this res nozzle".

    Ive done some stupid things but geez...its amazing some of these people can figure out how to turn on their computer.

    then what would you call a persosn whose sole purpose to destroy enemy resource towers?
  • JammerJammer Join Date: 2002-06-03 Member: 728Members, Constellation
    Hmmm... perhaps we should make 'Resmonkey' a dual usage term for players whose sole job is to orchestrate resources, both building and destroying. Moderators! We need a poll! :-)

    You may know these already...

    Jetbos -- jetpack rambos
    Welder train -- HAs welding each other
    WoL -- wall of lame
    and I sometimes yell at people for being "fanboys." for NS fanboys are a bit different from just normal fans you meet during the course of life.

    btw, yes, bob, pudgy, flyer, blinky, tiny <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    NS *does* have slang. Most of it is documented in <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=17&t=23782' target='_blank'>this</a> thread, which should have been stickied ages ago.

    Eh. I consider that more gaming terms than 'slang'. Slang is a uncommon/goofy word used to replace a game term in my opinion. This topic is about the interersting, unconvential words used to replace gaming terms.

    I guess so. I suppose what I'm thinking of is technically jargon, not slang.
  • GrimmGrimm Join Date: 2003-04-13 Member: 15448Members
    One term that I use frequently in and out of NS (despite its Politically Incorrectness), is sped. The term is a contraction of "Special Eduction". Sped is more fun to say, and when people don't know what it means, nobody is offended. And it doesn't sound as harsh as calling someone a straight out retard.

    So whenever someone is doing something incorrectly, but their skills show they are not a newbie, then they are a sped. In the game anyway, in real life you can apply it to a whole lot of things... <!--emo&::onos::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tiny.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Haha, sped, I like that.

    I still prefer dumbnut. It pisses me off though cause ive been calling people dumbnuts for years now. I was watching a movie...umm, oceans eleven, and the guy in the movie called someone a dumbnut. Hollywood stole my word! Grrrr

    I made up the term "welder monkey." It's kinda funny to see people other than myself using it now.

    Jammer your quote is awesome

    okay

    NS slang

    I would agree with retard/sigh/etc but I would add asshat and turning the voice com on whilst I bang my head against the desk...

    Wot about slang for certain locations in the NS world??

    like Sloop - South Loop <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
  • GlissGliss Join Date: 2003-03-23 Member: 14800Members, Constellation, NS2 Map Tester
    A slight slang term is Pj. People use it all the time, usually referred to as, 'a god, formally named Pjofskythawf (Puh-JOFFS-KY[kee]-Thoff), this great person is known to feast on the living and devour people's organs (especially DOOManiac's for not hosting our server)'
  • pardzhpardzh Join Date: 2002-10-25 Member: 1601Members
    Well maybe not slang, but NS is the only mod you can say something like this...

    "Comm drop RT in SAA for the RP's to get HMG, JP, and GL"

    ...and still make sense.
  • airyKairyK Join Date: 2002-12-19 Member: 11126Members
    hmm ive been using the term "Game Camel" for people who are lame and dont follow orders to well, also for those people who hump the armory. i think it fits in well
  • elimelim Join Date: 2002-11-17 Member: 9006Members, Constellation
    I have one I use a lot. "Your all F**KING newbs get off my F**KING team you icompitent armory humping shits."
