Malapropism: an act or habit of misusing words ridiculously.

grenade mine...

It = anything that is enemy (tank, chopper, sniper, medic, SL, grenadier, APC...).
Eg."Kill it! KILL IT!"

Sh!t = enemy tank/chopper looking at you.
Eg."Sh!t sh!t sh!t!!!!!!

Saying "Pozz" for Position.

saying Humvee when referring to any light vehicle with a gun on it.

eg: "Bring the chinese humvee over here!

Ammo techie - a technical refers to a pickup truck outfitted with a gun on it, thus if it does not carry a mounted weapon it is not a techie. the ammo techie is just a pickup truck

this should go to tales or off topic

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

incendrios/incendinanies

mispronouncing grenadier as "grenade-ier"

Saying tank when meaning APC and vice versa.

When people call the Hueys on Muttrah Blackhawks

Sky Cow.

Boomstick.

Dogbox.

Big Red.

Gary.

Techy.

Automatic sniper rifle.

You insulted Gary! He'll come for you now! Supported by Big Red and the Techies. Even the ammo techies.

Some people ask if the medic can resurrect them when they're wounded. Transport trucks are often called logi trucks.

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