Re: Gamer euphemisms
He or she "has an allergy to high-velocity pieces of lead."
Someone makes a "kinetic rebuttal." "That's grim!" (for something really dangerous or hazardous) "IQ is his/her dump-stat." (for when somebody does something really stupid). "DX is her/her dump-stat." (for when somebody does something comically clumsy).

Climbing the Rope: Any action a character or group must take if the players want to be involved with the adventure. If they don't, either the adventure never happens, or it happens to someone else and they are left behind.

Re: Gamer euphemisms
Unclosable trap: A poorly designed scenario in which all possible outcomes amount to "PCs win" and "game comes to an end." So called because, as the GM has no plans to end the game at that time, he will never go through with it.

"I have feet!" - used to announce critically failing Perception/Spot, because clearly you were too distracted inspecting your feet.

Our group's equivalent is "examining the wallpaper".

"What castle?" Inspired by a run of critical failures in spot checks

Re: Gamer euphemisms
Another one to do with a failed default roll. "You fail to find a button that says (fire all guns*)"
*insert any other task here

Re: Gamer euphemisms
Back when I gamed with the pagans, lesbians and pagan lesbians, a failed Perception roll meant the player looked around at the walls and ceiling and said, "Beige!"
