Video Game Phrases and Idioms for Everyday Life

[Arcella]

Hey y'all! I came across a pretty funny article recently and decided to share it here with you. Basically, you take terms from video games and turn them into new slang words/phrases/idioms for use in everyday conversation! I figured this should probably be in Forum Games, so I placed it here! :]

So, do you have any fun phrases to add? :]!

 

[SuperMarioFanX100]

I really like the Blue shell one. I'll be sure to use that one from now on.

 

[Arcella]

Yea, I think "blue shelled" and "my mana's tapped" are both going to get used more frequently in my group. I'm a MTG fan as well, so I've essentially been using "my mana's tapped" already. :]

 

[wsoxfan1214]

...I am definitely going to use the blue shelling one. xD

 

[Dark Young Link]

I'm going to use the blue shelling one, and the turning the Deku Tree into the Water Temple. Also the Biggoron sword one.

 

[Arcella]

Anyone have their own ideas to submit?!

How about "banana peel" someone (from Mario Kart), which could basically be pulling a prank someone? :]

 

[wsoxfan1214]

Or it could mean essentially the same thing as tripping someone up.

 

[ninjablooper]

I tried thinking of some, but I was busy humming a song.
