Also, some people called stealth games like thief a "sneak-em-up" which is the most retarded thing I've ever heard.

I like the Kirby games and Yoshi's Island a lot, but I wish there were more eat-em-ups.

I think nintendo power or somebody did this so there were probably some people who had that as part of their gamer vernacular, OP.

in the 90s one of my friends said that the "potion" in Pokemon was pronounced Pot-On and was a special pokemon food and I had to tackle him and beat him down because he tried to disconnect the link cable and run away and keep my Gengar even though we had a deal because he was so loving thirsty to be the first kid in elementary school to 150. It was me btw, I was the first kid to all 150.

It wasn't a real achievement to be real. I had a little brother who had red version and I had blue version and we both hit 150 for our respective grades ahead of time through teamwork
