That's an IRL saying used by games. I don't think it counts.

Speedrunning terms are a gold mine for this sort of thing.

Most obvious one is "gay baby jail".

what does it mean ? I kinda want to avoid looking it up

[–] [email protected] 12 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

The phrase “gay baby jail” is a roughly 12-year-old internet meme, first attributed to Tumblr user Bolto around 2013 and swiftly adopted as an affectionate pejorative used to “punish” fictional characters (often in the Homestuck fandom) similar to the more widely adopted “horny jail.” Twitch streamer SimpleFlips is also credited with using the phrase to refer to being “softlocked,” or unable to reload or progress, in a video game.

After executing a prisoner, we will feed him to other prisoners and force them to wear clothes made from the skin.

Hey now, those clothes were made out of multiple people's skins, not just the person they ate. ... Just Rimworld things.

Dota callouts have some interesting ones.

"I gooed the squirrel a bunch, catch her and let Lion finger her."

Edit: And considering that Lion's "Finger of Death" ability is shortened to "fingering", you can guess what the callout is for its upgraded form, "Fist of Death".
