Malapropism

[Mikemonster]

I call the incindiaries "fire frags" because its a lot quicker to type out.

Just say 'phos' mate Not strictly accurate but people get the idea.

[Doc.Pock]

or AT 'nade

[Megagoth1702]

Dead-dead.

Oh that is just such a PR classic... It's the ONLY game I know of where DYING is actually no dying at ALL... Sure there are games where you can be revived but in PR it really counts...

So yeah, dead dead...


-Oh Sh*t I am dead
-dead dead?
-No
-what no?
-I am wounded
-%"$Q? ffs just say dead dead god dammit!

[Col.Sanders34]

Sky Cow.

Boomstick.

Dogbox.

Big Red.

Gary.

Techy.

Automatic sniper rifle.

Gary is Gary's actual name. We voted on it awhile back. That makes it official. This applies to real world garbage trucks as well. They're all now called Gary.

had a lad calling them fozzes instead of phoses the other night, hilarity ensued.

[dtacs]

I use dead-dead. "Don't bother reviving me, I'm dead-dead."

Everyone does. Once lingo becomes synonymous over time there is practically no way to replace it or get rid of it.

In Australia, nobody calls it a 'hideout', its always dogbox.

And M133's are often referred to as Gavins.

[Web_cole]

"I'm rez-able" is one I use quite often for revivable, which is probably a malapropism in itself

[Brainlaag]

Oh yeah, metal coffin.

[Wicca]

Enemy FOB in Alpha 2 KEYPAD 3

I dont think they use keypads in real life.

Its also numpad some people say.

[TheComedian]

Transport trucks are often called logi trucks.

Nope logis are supply trucks
Transport trucks are squad trucks

M113 are sometimes called tin can
I call brainlaag a lead magnet

Artillery strike is often misinterpreted as JDAM

artillery IED-fireworks
hueys-flying tanks

[paul161616]

[=LK= A.H.]

Israeli M113 = tractor or Jew tractor

[TheComedian]

grena-dier

[NyteMyre]

[OkitaMakoto]

NME

Saying "Pozz" for Position.

Malapropism
"the unintentional misuse of a word by confusion with one that sounds similar."

Its not really a malapropism/wrong if its just shorthand. When writing down an order for an operation/mission you gotta write quickly... so enemy becomes nme, "In order to" becomes IOT, "In vicinity of" becomes IVO and **** like that. Typing in games the same thing

A lot of these are still pretty funny. Dragon Rifle I thought was hilarious

I hate when people say "pacific" instead of "specific"
as in "We need to clear this pacific section of the city"...

[declan54321]

oh god, I hate it when people don't know the right vehicles for the right sides. XD

Yeah, isn't it Doc.pock who calls the MEC light attack helicopter a Gazelle???

[aurimas]

I say baby apc for small apc's like BRDM or the chines armored car
