A mundane name, but a name nonetheless.

This one isn't a video game but is appropriate.

So my wife had just given birth to our son like 6 hours ago, and was hopped up on all kinds of happy-delirium-inducing pain drugs (it was a bit of a rough birth for her). We decided to watch TV, and she saw that THE GRUDGE was on. If some of you youngsters don't know what that is, you should Youtube it so you can appreciate the truly unnerving sound that this ghost girl makes.

...

Anyway, the ghost pops out of nowhere and aa-a-a-a-a-a-aaaaa's at someone, I do a little jump, and she immediately goes into tears and starts bawling out peals of laughter. It wasn't at me mind you, it was at the ghost. See she in her stupor thought the sound it made was hilarious, and in between her laughing bouts named the thing "Burp Ghost". She spent the next hour or so laughing hysterically at The Grudge. Now one of the best scary movies is ruined (improved?) and is called Burp Ghost forever more in our home.

Dickslapping: doing an incredible amount of damage or scoring a large amount of points in a short amount of time.

Everything else i come up with is on the fly and usually a reworded meme.

Example: i do not aim with aim assist, he who aims with aim assist has forgotten the face of his father.

Ah yes, the insatiable lust of corn and rice, clearly two of the most erotic foods.

"Peanut Butter Door"
Those doors in Link to the Past that only stay open while a switch is depressed.
Why?
As a kid I thought the sound of stepping on and off the switch sounded like Peanut butter door. Also, they're sticky, I guess. The term stuck in my head for any door that requires a button to be weighed down to open it.

Also, Sami "The Butcher" from Advance Wars.
As much as she's one of the good guys, her tactics boil down to clogging the treads of her enemies tanks with the bones and meat that was once her infantry. She'd be a war criminal irl. Hence the nickname!

We were playing Age of Conan at launch, which was terrifying in and of itself but that's not the story.

Me and a bud were trying to find two party members to do a thing with, and the game featured instances, AKA I could be in instance 1 of the city, and you could be in instance 2, and then we both have to be in the same instance to play together.

We found 2 sublimely stupid people who could not understand this concept. It took maybe 10 minutes to get them to switch instances, whereupon they went to the wrong one and blamed us. Then we went to their instance, only to find they had moved to a different, unrelated one. There was a large gold star next to the one you had to click to get to your friends. Rinse and repeat.

After maybe 20 minutes one of them screamed WE ARE NOT IN INSTANCE. WE ARE IN CITY. And then we knew we were finished there. Now every time confusion causes a problem the famed "Instance City" is invoked. "NO YOU WERE NOT USING THE RIGHT SKILL. YOU WERE IN CITY". We often name our guild "Lords of Instance City".
