So I was playing with this guy who was playing squid he was called "Pakkela" and he said after the game that he was "Ganking" our ships and I was confused as to what this means and even after being told what it means I was still confused, so I decided to make a thread to discuss Slang in this game and the meaning of the Slang
-
ganking may be a slang term taking from games such as dota 2 and lol.
To repeatedly kill a virtual game character after they get resurrected aka spawn rape in WoW.
Or when one high level player does the same action to a player way below his or her own level
-
My favorite GOI slang is:
Gungineer - an engineer who is shooting a gun for most of the match but can be relied upon for emergency repairs.
The Trifecta - getting three guns shooting on one target
Boinking - ramming with the intent of moving an enemies guns out of their fire arc.
Helium uppercut or Shoryuken - Using helium while under an enemy ship to increase the damage dealt by a ram.
Kiting - flying backwards with long range guns to prolong the length of time you ship can shoot an enemy before it can shoot back.
Lifting out/in - using helium/chutevent to get out of an enemies guns to give your engineer time to repair.
-
Gatflak: the gatling/flak combo, usually on the Pyramidion
Blenderfish: a Goldfish with a carronade on the front
-
Metamideon: A gatflac pyra.
Raspberries: The enemy's gate armor is down
Zill: Slang for OP. :P
-
Hot engines : kerosene is on
Cycle guns: open fire
Bogey: enemy
Blue: friendly
Bow: front
Aft/tail: back
Port: left
Starboard: right
Turning left/right hard: using Phoenix claw
Bug out: get away from enemy fire
Ink: tar barrel
Well, this is more like my jargon. Though I've played with plenty of different people, he'll rarely the same people very often, and most everyone knows what I mean.
-
My slang is all over soooooooo I guess I'll start simple.
Teehee: I just destroyed something with a flaregun
Teeheeheehee: I'm on a Lumberjack.
Slightly Sadistic Laughing: I'm still on a Lumberjack
Sadistic Laughter: "What, you think charging my lumberjack is gonna save you? Bet you wish you were faster than me when those incendiary rounds just screwed you over."
9 o'clock: I probably mean 3 o'clock 'cause I'm facing the wrong way.
3 o'clock: I probably meant 9 o'clock 'cause I'm facing the wrong way.
The other stuff I say that don't make sense...is most likely stuff I'm saying that don't make sense and I have no clue what I'm saying.
-
Keon already handled raspberries.
Poodled: Enemy is hooked on a harpoon.
Coconutting: The act of pre-buffing a component but stopping just 1 buff-hit before it activates
Liming the coconut: Activating the buff at the most advantageous time.
-
"LeftradfgarRIGHTasdgungugngunggun"
Translates to "I'm flustered and no matter what you do on my ship I will be unhappy and I am unfairly taking it out on you and I am very much sorry."
Specific to the Junker
"Frontgineer." when an engineer is in charge of repairing the hull from in front and below it as well as using front gun.
-
Zill: Slang for OP.
Has it come to this?
Gungineer: No. You are an engineer.
X needs "a whack": Repair it when you can.
Did you buff my balloon....?: Prior to 1.2, it meant that I dislike your buffing decisions.
Popped: Destroyed in some fashion.
Locked: They are pinned and going nowhere.
Loch 'em: Lochnager plez.
-
Zill: Slang for OP.
Has it come to this?
Just learn to live with your status of GOI's boggy man at least until DrSpaceman returns and kills everyone.
Here is some more of the slang I use:
Chicken footing - Using phoenix claw to turn.
Juicing engines - Moonshine on engines
Juice is off - Moonshine no longer on
We are stable/dead in the air - I stopped my turn or forward/backward movement gunners will be more accurate now.
Hold fire till my mark... Mark! - don't shoot until I say... now shoot. useful to prevent gunners from shooting the hwacha while the ship is turning.
Lost shot high/low/left/right: I can no longer shoot the target since it is too high/low/left or right
On (Component Name) - Lets captain and the other engineer know that I am heading to a component to repair. Prevents other engineer from unnecessary double teaming.
-
I guess I'll put some of mine in here:
Sorrry! - I probably ran into my teammate
Got it! - I just realized that I'm an engineer, and should be repairing something I wasn't....
Hydrogen Uppercut - I tried to do something cool, and failed miserably
-
Zill: Slang for OP.

DrSpaceman is OP in such a way it makes Zill look like an average player

He once tried to tell me Lesmok didn't work on flamethrowers. I think I'll be alright.

Teabag - Ramming down
Teabag of Destiny - Ramming down with chute vent
First time I heard these I ran into a wall, cause I couldn't steer for laughing. Missed the ram entirely.
-
It's been a while since someone's posted here, but I just want to put this down somewhere.
When I say "I've lost eyes!" or "I've got no eyes!" I don't mean some deranged madman has broken into my house and scooped my eyeballs out with a spoon. I don't mean my monitor went into sleep mode, either.
I'm implying "on target" at the end if those statements. I'm basically saying that I was looking elsewhere when that Squid dove into a cloud, or that I missed weather that Mobula went up or down to dodge our ram.
You guys can now stop with the awkward silences and strange looks when I shout this.
-
I do the same thing Kirk, the same exact thing. "Get eyes on that bird on my 6 screw monkey!" "Put eyes on that squid and ace the port screw".
-
Burning! - Usually means one of two things. I'm using kerosene or we're on fire. Either way Engies should be on duty to decipher what I mean.
-
Guns, guns, guns-Basically it means shoot guns at the target.
Babysit-Same thing as Teabag
-
Lets give 'em hell in a hand basket and show them the door - Engaging
-
Guns, guns, guns-Basically it means shoot guns at the target.
Babysit-Same thing as Teabag
NONONO
babysit means "sit in front of x component (usually hull, sometimes balloon) and repair it nonstop."
As in: "Keon, you're main engie; babysit the hull unless I'm burning the engines.

Eh, sorry Keon, guess we have different ways to express that word.

Tea bagging- Adverb
1. the act of jumping from a pyramidions catwalk to assist in repairs, then moving back upto a gun.
"Engineer 2, teabag the hull".
2. The act of standing at a station while not engaged, waiting for a reactionary response.
"I'm going to teabag the hull unless we take a hit to the engines".
Babysitting- Adverb
1. The position one takes when they cannot remove themselves from a position, usually engineers, because of its vital importance.
"I'm going to babysit the hull/engines/front gun/balloon to keep it up and stay
shooting/alive/moving/floating.
-
Tea bagging to me refers to the downward style rams that have become so popular since the patch which makes the balloon take more impact damage than the hull. As in:
"We are under his carronade's field of fire for now, use this time to repair.... Oh god he is tea bagging us!"

When I'm flying one of my fire ships, my command for my crew to begin song things on fire is: Burninate them!
If I'm going for a ram, I announce "'bout to poke!"
And if I 'accidentally' collide with a stationary object, it's a 'tactical bounce'.

I would like to add "Leeroy," "Leeroy Jenkins," and "Captain Jenkins" to the community lexicon:
http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/leeroy-jenkins
as a term for captains that charge headlong into battle much to the detriment of their teammates. Examples of use:
"Get back in formation Leeroy"
"Our ally just pulled a Leeroy Jenkins, we will not be moving up to assist."
"Let Captain Jenkins distract them while I line up the trifecta."

All right, time to guess when that picture was taken. Hmm... Judging by Mark Abrams being in it and the typo still being there, I'd say... Late 2012?
-
Hah, again you're right... 5ft of december
-
Tryhard - Someone who is focused on winning.
Scrub - Someone who is not focused on winning.
i like how everyone is either a try hard or a scrub haha xD
-
It is just like driving. I am driving at the perfect speed. Anyone driving faster is an irresponsible maniac, and anyone driving slower is a selfish lane hog. Any one who is better than me is a Tryhard because they put way more hours into this game than any sane person would, and anyone who hasn't put as many hours into this game as I is a Scrub because they haven't payed their dues like I have.

Some Duck slang words (try to guess the definitions yourselves):
Raspberries
Nuts
Biscuits
Peaching
Coconutting
(I think Squash also has salad/potatoes)
-
Having spend a goodly amount of time around Ducks I know what every thing is except "Biscuits" and "Peaching" are. I also heard there is such a thing as"Lliming". Also you ducks are dangerously obsessed with food, DANGEROUSLY OBSESSED. I have started using "Raspberries" in PUG's as it is more convenient and causes less confusion than what most people call it.
