A lot of us halo players have a bunch of lingo for grenades. I have a few.
Cookies for random sticks.
Zues nade for a cluster luck.
And ting tingers for the almighty wall bounce grenade kill.
What are some of yours?
Pocket nukes = grenades in CE.
Bundles of joy!
Sticky: Plasma Grenade (of course I will say sticky because that’s the best name for them)
Burn baby burn!: Incendiary Grenades.
Spammy whammy: Pulse Grenades
That was the worst 'nade ever… of all time.
Special delivery: perfect double frag for that kid camping in the corner by the door
Rainbow: Some of the old man cannon sticks you could do.
Time bomb: Throw the sticky into the lift. Five minutes later “Betrayal.”
I don’t really have names for the grenades themselves, but certain actions i’ll have a name for.
If i throw a grenade, and do damage and not kill; I call it a Clink. (Because of the sound it makes)
Hail Mary I call a long-toss.
If i get a kill with a splinter, I call it a trap (or a tarp).
I don’t use sticks on H5 because they just don’t handle the same as the H4 sticks. (maybe those were TOO easy to use?)
Blue Ball - Plasma, never as popular as Stickies, though. Occasionally “noobs” would say it, but then it caught on mainly for when someone got double stuck, so we could yell “you got blue balls!”. I remember once a friend who didn’t play much got triple stuck by two friends and I and for the rest of the night when they’d talk we’d nod and listen and then “yeah, but you got three blue balls” and another of us would say “yeah, I saw them”.
8-Ball - Wall bounce, generally double similar to a pool shot. Mainly so you could say “8-Ball in the corner pocket”. I remember calling my shot beforehand once when some friends and I were playing others who were in another room to avoid screen looking. Not used too often as it never caught on a ton and it was rare to happen as we generally played Blood Gulch or Sidewinder and Battle Creek and everyone was out in the open. Seems like most wall bounces were on Hang 'Em High, Chiron and other maps that weren’t played as much.
Land mine/Payback/Evener/Avenger - Throwing a frag or occasionally a sticky (generally at the person’s feet) before dying. Seemed like just about everyone had an alternate term for it.
Blocked/Blocknaded/Blockenstock (last one said in a funny European accent off of blocked and stuck, used with stickies). On Blood Gulch when you’d block the other team’s teleporter, sneak behind their base and throw a grenade at the teleporter. Practically every team game I’d block the teleporter at some point and every so often someone would get fragged or stuck when trying to escape. These were rare to hear though, generally I’d be called an a-hole for blocking the teleporter.
snowballs for plasmas
rocks for frags
sometimes for splinters i call them stars though most of the time i call them destiny ghosts…
Plasma= Sticky or blueberry
