WoW vocabulary spilling into real life

Post by Vaisteen »

so i'm sitting in my friends house and i ask him what we are doing this weekend, he said i'm gonna go pick up some mats (yeah as in materials as if i need to poin that out) and i was like ok 1 stack or 2 stacks (you don't need to know what these mats are*hint* hippies ) and then i realised that omg we were starting to talk in WoWish and since then we have had other conversations about non WoW subjects in "WoWish". is the addiction becoming too bad

This comes up on my guild's Ventrilo occasionally. It's usually in regards to "girlfriend aggro" from playing too much. =)

Closest I've ever come to WoW-speak irl was the time I told my boss I needed to leave early because I had a raid :) She knows me well enough to know that was some kind of "game thing"!

If something goes missing, question the rogue who was standing behind you because you just got pickpocketed.

I have the same problem over Vent and Teamspeak. LOL is said a lot, and sometimes it spills over into the stories around the watercooler at work the next morning, about the PVP action last night. Plus we get "ganked" with crap work to do all the time. My supervisor is lvl 60 Orc Rogue who ganks little lvl15 Warriors.....

This is more toward gaming in general, but WOW for now. I have been in meetings, talking big chiefs in the Fortune 100, and have said:
I've no mana, outta hitpoints here. Anyone got anything?

Once in a while I'm reading a text on paper and I want to find a specific part, I try to open the search window. And 2 sec later I think wtf why am I trying to search a text on paper!

Not fully ontopic but also shows signs of computer addiction :).
