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

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

    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.

    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.

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

    "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.

    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.

    "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.

    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.
