I want to say it's "dirtbag." It's pretty great.

#2 Posted by ItBeStefYo (985 posts) - 8 months, 27 days ago

cunt

#3 Posted by doosmacleod (153 posts) - 8 months, 27 days ago

@ItBeStefYo:

Such a beautiful word. Hard to believe it can even be used as an insult.

#4 Posted by ItBeStefYo (985 posts) - 8 months, 27 days ago

@doosmacleod: Yeah. Those "single female listeners" don't know what's up.

#5 Posted by adoggz (1877 posts) - 8 months, 27 days ago

@ItBeStefYo:

I'm a single female lawyer and i love the word cunt*

"Hot Garbage"

#7 Posted by Lukeweizer (2331 posts) - 8 months, 27 days ago

He usually says "Suits" in a negative manner.

#8 Posted by RollingZeppelin (1364 posts) - 8 months, 27 days ago

It's clearly Jeff "anime is for jerks" Gerstmann

#9 Posted by Old_Corncob (133 posts) - 8 months, 27 days ago

In "I love Mondays" today, he uses the term "4X" with the most derisive tone I could imagine.

You could hear Vinnie's heart breaking.

#10 Posted by Tim_the_Corsair (3065 posts) - 8 months, 27 days ago

"seriously, fuck those guys! Euggghhh" seems to come up often

#11 Posted by nrh79 (2713 posts) - 8 months, 27 days ago

"Just gross!"

"Middling"

#12 Posted by bibamatt (1034 posts) - 8 months, 27 days ago

"Fine"

#13 Posted by Brendan (6732 posts) - 8 months, 27 days ago

I thought that this was going to be a post about "Anime is for jerks" by some new alt account by the sonic the hedgehog guy.

#14 Posted by LTSmash (402 posts) - 8 months, 27 days ago

I enjoy when he describes something as "buh-roken".

#15 Posted by CaLe (2491 posts) - 8 months, 27 days ago

He once called Ryan a 'pecker'. Cutting to the bone right there.

#16 Posted by Scrawnto (1959 posts) - 8 months, 27 days ago

My favorite is when he says something "is for garbage people." I don't know what his favorite is.

No he didn't he was just saying what genre it was. You read into that waaaay to much. OP is probably correct, though scumbag is another good one.

#18 Posted by august (3707 posts) - 8 months, 27 days ago

YOU'RE A DISMISSIVE INSULT!

Hot Garbage is probably my favourite Jeffism.

#21 Posted by LD50 (353 posts) - 8 months, 27 days ago

"Mousy Dumbass" in reference to the character he created for The Secret World.

#22 Posted by WelshCleats (31 posts) - 8 months, 27 days ago

Yeah, "Hot Garbage" is pretty great. "Buh-roken" has a place, but is more specific to games. You goddamn dirtbags.

Gotta agree with this one too

That one's my favorite.

#25 Posted by Sbaitso (317 posts) - 8 months, 27 days ago

"made by people who hate people who play games" is pretty good. I think it's a pretty shitty thing to say about a game/developer(especially when a lot of people like said game/developer) but I believe he's said it more than once.

#28 Edited by Trilogy (2175 posts) - 8 months, 27 days ago

When he calls a game, "poop from a butt".

Stay classy, Jeff.

Yep, this one.
#30 Posted by Sbaitso (317 posts) - 8 months, 27 days ago
@Trilogy That one sounds like more of a vinnyism.

I suddenly find myself disappointed it isn't.

Jeff was the one who coined it. At least publicly.

Trust me, I take my poop humor very seriously. So does Jeff.

I thought it was "Asians are a jerk".

Something about asses.

My exact response to people when they ask me what the Bombcast is about.

#36 Posted by jmood88 (368 posts) - 8 months, 27 days ago

"pinball"

#37 Posted by Zleunamme (546 posts) - 8 months, 27 days ago

The frame rate is pretty janky. The game is okay.

I second this motion
#39 Posted by SirOptimusPrime (1555 posts) - 8 months, 27 days ago

On a related note, whenever Jeff finds a game middling he says that it isn't "actively on fire".

Dunno why, but I love that.

#40 Posted by ShaggE (4415 posts) - 8 months, 27 days ago

"YOU'RE a dismissive insult!" (replace "dismissive insult" with nonsensical appropriation of insultee's last used adjective+noun combo or point of contention, to hilarious effect)

"YOU'RE every day at the office!" and "YOU'RE a bunch of apples!", both aimed at Ryan, remain my favorite instances of this.

#41 Posted by Tim_the_Corsair (3065 posts) - 8 months, 27 days ago
@Sbaitso I need to ask, are you named for Dr SBAITSO?

Because if you are then I think I love you
#42 Posted by rynbeed (141 posts) - 8 months, 27 days ago

I feel like him saying "Great" tends to be him most dismissive insult...

#43 Posted by NinesSC2 (158 posts) - 8 months, 27 days ago

when a game is good

"yeeeeah, it's alright"

#44 Posted by madmanmaple89 (56 posts) - 8 months, 27 days ago

After playing thousands and thousands of games, I think Jeff is broken down and rarely enjoys games these days.

#45 Edited by punkxblaze (2411 posts) - 8 months, 27 days ago

Hot garbage, gross, buh-roken, ridiculous (note, not RIDICULOUS, ridiculous. See: Prototype 2 debate between he and Vinny), x is for bad people, x are bad people, you are a bad person.

Oh, and who could forget, 'ugly game'.

The list goes on.

Crystal Bearer.

#48 Posted by Zaccheus (1346 posts) - 6 months, 16 days ago

I agree with the other right-minded people and say "hot garbage" is the best one.

#49 Posted by ImHungry (375 posts) - 6 months, 16 days ago

I find it terrifying that "hot garbage" is at least partially integrated into my own speech patterns.
