Well, what else are you supposed to say?DustyDrB said:

Entitled *Looks at movie bob
Tryhard (I live with my brother)

People still use that?Lagao said:

"scrub" "hard" and "tryhard"
I mean hard saying "I'm so hard" (Not boners, just when an idiot thinks saying he's hard means he's a badass.)
What's with tryhard? I can sort of understand it if someone spends ages trying to be amazing at peggle, but in TF2, if I make a good rocket jump that's hard to do first try, people say try hard because I've practised doing that jump before.
It's a competitive fps, where I've played it for so long that if I wasn't trying to get better then I would have left it ages ago. It's the best way of keeping me interested, why is it bad that I'm trying to be good at a game?

Hm...I really guess specific words don't annoy me, at least I can't think of any off the top of my head.
it's more or less how the person is using it, with what context that usually gets me angry.
If I had to put a word/phrase down though, I would say anything to do with art hipsters saying "you just don't get it man" or "your just a sheep"
I'm pretty sure I want to wash their mouths out with hydrogen peroxide when I hear/see those, especially relating to art.

pl0x. Just fucking say please. It's two extra letters, is it that hard?
Epic. The word has lost all meaning.
Boycott. Often used by people who don't know what it means, too often used by people who play the games they want to boycott.
Lol. Said in voice chat, with no hint of emotion.
Noob. Claiming that someone is new to something isn't much of an insult.
I also strongly dislike little boys with shrill voices who insist that they're 18 and they work for Microsoft. Also, people who claim to be 'so high right now,' when they sound like they've never even touched anything remotely narcotic.

well I use the phrase "I romanced" because I'm not sure how else to say it (I persued kaidens path?)DustyDrB said:
but yeah....it annoys me that I can;t say "I like Tali" without feeling dirty
for me its "gamers"
"Im a gamer"
"the gamer comuntiy"
"gamer this"
"gamer that"
"gamer lifestyle"
"gamer food"
like wer'e a cult or somthing
While this is not specifically a gamer word, I'd like to throw out my complete and utter disgust for the word "waifu"
See, I'm a MegaTen fan. That's about it. It's really the only JRPG series I follow. On top of that, I'm not a big anime watcher either. However, one of the negative side effects of being a MegaTen fan is that both those from outside and those within are quick to assume you're a fan of all things kawaii desu and just lump you in with every other JRPG and anime series on earth.
Waifu for those that don't know, is a term that certain fans of this stuff use when they have basically claimed a girl that they utterly wuv and proclaimed a fake marriage with them. Some use it in jest, some are serious about it to the point where it becomes creepy, but no matter how it comes up, it's annoying.
...Yeah...I really hate that word.
I admit some of the other examples mentioned here bug me, but since I really don't do a lot of gaming in general, and literally none that involves interaction with other people, most of this stuff doesn't really come up for me.
I'd also like to point out that I'm not really fond of the word "gamer" in general. I do other things, in fact I do lots of other things. More frequently and with more enthusiasm than I do playing video games.
Why should I be labeled a gamer because I spend a few hours a week on one of many hobbies? If anything I should be a watcher. I spend a lot more time going through dvds and netflix than I do video games.

"Epic" is probably the only one. People misspelling words annoys me too, words such as:
Rouge -> Rogue
Asasin/assasin/asassin -> Assassin
Anywas -> Anyways
etc. etc. etc.....

Asasin/assasin/asassin -> Assassin
Anywas -> Anyways
etc. etc. etc.....
I don't know, I think you're looking too much into it. Some people (ie. those I consider normal) separate games and reality, if I was talking about playing Mass Effect 2, I would say "I romanced Tali" (the context of the sentence shows that I am saying "I romanced Tali in Mass Effect 2" or if we put this via Japanese discussion "I went the Tali route in Mass Effect 2") but I'd never say that about a real girl. There are far more creepier ways to say it: "I'm in a relationship with Tali" as if Tali were a real person.DustyDrB said:

"Tryhard"
>implying gamers who are playing competitive multiplayer wouldn't be trying hard
"kill stealer"
>implying we're not on the same team, and that all of our kills contribute equally (more or less) to the final tally. The only time this is even sort of valid is in dota-style games where you want a certain class to benefit from the gold from a kill more than a different one, but even a fed support is useful.

Basically this, but also 'Lol, Rofl, C U L8R' Etc etc' Basically all shortening of words and sentences that needs a professional decrypter to be able to understand.Karutomaru said:
Noob as a tag to any other word or phrase to make what you're doing seem like its unskillful. I was quite hurt when I was playing SC2 and I won, after a long battle in which I used a strategy I had been perfecting for weeks, and the guy says "stalker spam noob". I didn't even use that many!
Makes me cringe though when people still say (like on GTs Bonus round?) that the PS3 "lost" this generation of consoles. How...? What are you even talking about when you say lost? Not made more cash than nintendo or microsoft? I'm pretty sure the Nintendo coiffeurs are quite dry now, and Microsoft hasn't really been shining. Why still the PShate?
People who stick up for Nintendo by listing all their titles that are supposed to be on the way. I read the list they give and half are games I swear I've already played (mario, metroid, zelda) and the other half are just japanese words and numbers and colons stuck together, and are on the DS.
On that same vein people who stick up for bronies. Its a really girly kids cartoon, people. I think it would be better for mankind if we stayed away.
