Dictionary of LRR slang

This page is an index of all slang, terminology, and memes coined within the LoadingReadyRun crew and fanbase.

General LRR Slang

• "Windmill Slam" - used to indicate making a decision immediately and without thinking due to the extreme desirability of said choice. Likely originated during MTG drafts, where it is used to express the idea of taking the obvious pick in a given pack.

• "Aww, Muffin" - longtime LRR expression most frequently used to sarcastically "comfort" someone engaged in a moment of overwrought self-pity; occasionally used as a genuine sympathetic gesture.

• "Domed" - refers to taking a blow to the head. Originated in MTG drafts in reference to directly attacking the opponent without risk of being blocked, but has since evolved into a general use term.

• "Camsexual" - half-joking term used by fans to relate attraction to Cam. Originated in the first few months of LoadingReadyLive; fans would sometimes celebrate each others' "coming out" as members of the "LGBTQC" community. During a stream of A Swiftly Tilting Cameron in late March, two days after Beej and Alex took their shirts off on Beej's Backlog upon reaching 50 subscribers, chat spent several consecutive minutes attempting to persuade Cam to take his shirt off, which he adamantly refused to do.

• "Fill this Man with Cream" - refers to the LRR sketch The Crazy One, which featured a reality TV poster in the background for a show named "Fill this Man with Cream!" The joke would resurface during Desert Bus for Hope (during Desert Bus 7 Kathleen actually succeeded in filling Graham with cream) and fans took to modifying the phrase ("fill this X with Y!") to continue the joke.

Magic: the Gathering Slang

• "Gary"/"Gary'd" - Refers to the card "Gray Merchant of Asphodel" from the Theros set, which can be easily misread as "Gary, Merchant of Asphodel." "Getting Gary'd" refers to taking heavy damage or being killed by the use of the card. The term is sometimes combined with jokes about the character of Gary from Fallout 3, who can only speak using his own name.

• "Jund 'Em" - to use a tricolor green/red/black deck, referring to the "Jund" plane from the Shards of Alara set. Such decks are usually creature-focused and aggressive.

LoadingReadyLive Memes

There are many recurring terms and phrases used by both the streamers and the chat.

• "JOAKS!" - used to mock a poorly written/executed comedic moment in the game. Originated by Alex.

• "Pardonfuck" - an interjection used to express extreme surprise. Originated by Cam when he was surprised by a Chrysalid during a particularly stressful round of XCOM.

• "EFF" - A substitute word for "fuck" originated by Kathleen. Fans have adopted the phrase as a way to express "fuck" in situations where strong language is discouraged.

• "STAND AGAINST THE DEVIL" and "Watch and pray" - a reference to the game "Prayer Warriors: All Out for God", a bizarre and poorly made Christianity-themed game inflicted by Graham on Cam and Alex. The two phrases appear in particular song on the game's soundtrack. Most frequently used to encourage resistance to or endurance of a particularly bad element of a game.

• "Asian Beef" - In the game Beyond: Two Souls, which appeared on GPLP, there is a scene where the player character has to decide what to cook for her date. One of the options is vaguely titled "asian beef". If the player chooses to make the recipe, a further scene shows the date recognizing the dish specifically as "asian beef", as if it were a specific brand or method of preparation. The term has come to be used to express that something seems vague and/or suspicious.

• "Stealth!" - used to mock an ostensibly "stealth" game or section of a game that in reality is not stealthy at all or can be easily completed without stealth.

• "JERF" - refers to a bizarre line reading from Resident Evil 6 when Chris mourns the demise of his fellow soldier, Jeff. Used at moments of failure, distress, or annoyance; also a nickname for stone golems in Minecraft.

• "Red Leader, Standing By" - a game that originated in Desert Bus but is now known for its proliferation on LoadingReadyLive, where it is often played during the final minutes before the stream. To play, chat members simply make puns or jokes on the color red and insert them into the phrase (example: "Red Deck Wins, Standing By").

• "EVERYTHING IS FINE" - a reference to the LoadingReadyRun sketch EVERYTHING IS FINE, in which characters insist that everything is fine when it is clearly not. Before the sketch, the crew and chat were already jokingly asserting that everything was fine when it was obviously not during lifestreams, but the sketch codified the practice. Fans usually parrot the phrase back to each other if one uses it in chat, setting off a cascade effect.
