 I feel every forum should have their own lingo. So lets start 
 
Pulling a brad-- Dieing  
The Chie method-- kick/put then eat steak

Michale Ironside-style voice acting: Well its whenya act all drunkandstuff and slur urr damn linestogether    

 Janky: not of the highest quality

     
Furgedaboutit - Render your previous concerns mute and continue onwards as if nothing happened

Durger = hotdog

Whoturnedoffdelights - Something you would expect NPCs to say in a bad/old-fashioned stealth game. Also, sometimes used when referring to bad voice acting.

NEVER. - No I would not like to bro out and play gamecube, ever      
 Peter Molyneux's liver spotted balls- often used in every day conversation by Giantbombers 
  <> = I lack any form of intelligence      
 Gin - the worst thing ever     
 LOOT- Loot Or Other Things         
 
 

Casting Bufu - Making a foolish error in the least convinient moment, perticularly common among Italian-Americans
Nintendo Shop Music - A rare selection of music used to enchant and hypnotise even the most hardened gamer


 Halo- Master Chief, as portrayed by Michael Cera 
Funky student- dealer, often a fan of Ice Cube
Win chimes- victory gongs
J Allard- a God among men
Bufu- a spell that you should never, EVER cast, under any circumstances, EVER 
Phoenix Down- a nonsensical Japanese-to-English translation with no foundation in any sort of logic whatsoever 
Sweden- a Scandinavian nation known for the uniform inability of its inhabitants to produce good-tasting candy 
Auntie & Gramps- the most unexpected additions to a family-oriented kart-racing game 
That- anything and everything that was E3 
Shaq- an ever-present guardian 
775 million- amount of money (in US dollars) not paid by Activision to rent the Staples Center during E3 2010
Too Human- a video game  
Get bent- a horribly aggressive and terrifying insult
Ghoul- clingy, annoying guy with no friends; very persistent in his attempts to hang out with you 
Under the futon- hiding place for porn         
 Buckle Up, Motherfucker - This kart racing game is off the hook.
Bad Bananamouth - Brad during podcasts/Blowjobs      
 
 
 
 

I well edit the one you guys come up with in this post

Janky: not of the highest quality. That's why you never, EVER eat beef janky.

@Video_Game_King: I thought janky meant awkward/poor controls? For example, I would define Bad Company 1 as a very janky game.

I always thought it was more than controls. It had to do with generally how glitchy or awkward the game world is right? Also, you are now ULTRA LEET.

Shouldn't the Chie method consist of kicking tanks and eating steaks?

@natetodamax: Yeah, Video_Game_King is right. Janky is about the quality of the game, not the controls. I was just listening to a podcast earlier where Jeff starts to talk about Fallout 3's jankyness and he never mentioned controls during it

@Linkin10362: Well by my definition it would make sense if Jeff didn't mention controls because I always thought jankiness had to do with controls.

Banana mouth, i'm not exactly sure what it means, but it is commonly used to describe a general tackiness of the mouth after eating a banana or other food products.

Peter Molyneux's liver spotted balls- is a game mechanic which is often used in Peter Molyneux's games in order to to make the players feel a connection towards the game and its characters. When this mechanic was first introduced it revolutionized the the gaming industry and today it is considered to be one of the main component s in every modern game.

And what do you do when you see a banana on the screen? You whack it off.

Yeah, I know it's Mega64's originally. But it's still a term used within Giant Bomb.

I've always liked "throw dark" from the video thing. Can't remember if they've used it since then.

Some of these are pulled from one-time Bombcast/ER instances, so I'll let you guys be the deciders of whether each of these ought to be officially inducted into the lexicon. 
 
Halo- Master Chief, as portrayed by Michael Cera 
Funky student- dealer, often a fan of Ice Cube
Win chimes- victory gongs
J Allard- a God among men
Bufu- a spell that you should never, EVER cast, under any circumstances, EVER 
Phoenix Down- a nonsensical Japanese-to-English translation with no foundation in any sort of logic whatsoever 
Sweden- a Scandinavian nation known for the uniform inability of its inhabitants to produce good-tasting candy 
Auntie & Gramps- the most unexpected additions to a family-oriented kart-racing game 
That- anything and everything that was E3 
Shaq- an ever-present guardian 
775 million- amount of money (in US dollars) not paid by Activision to rent the Staples Center during E3 2010
Too Human- a video game  
Get bent- a horribly aggressive and terrifying insult
Ghoul- clingy, annoying guy with no friends; very persistent in his attempts to hang out with you 
Under the futon- hiding place for porn

Space neon lobsters - they have to work cooperatively, ya know.   

[Blank]-ass - When a game is very demonstrative of its franchise. Example: Crackdown 2 is a fucking Crackdown-ass game. 

I'm sure people will think of so many more, I'm terrible at these but I love this topic. I've always wanted a compendium of all the phrases and stuff.

I dunno about janky, I generally used this term quite often in shop class after using the band saw... Ridiculously awful quality verging on the edge of a joke and very sharp edges come to mind, or perhaps "Questionable Workmanship" :S
