Okay, here's some from the slang-book of a veteran player. These come from people who've been playing since before 1995.

Mr. Hippie: Hypnotic Specter

Hypnotic Spectator: A Hypnotic Specter with Pacifism

Big Daddy Cool: Force of Nature, preferably one from Revised or earlier edition

Mox-Eating Monkey: Gorilla Shaman

Guy Smiley: Atog

BOOM: When a Prosperous Bloom deck is down to 5 or less life and finally decides to try to go off on you.

Gang Bang: When more than 5 weenies attack you simultaneously.

Suicide: When you know you're going to lose, and decide to tap all of your lands and mana burn yourself to spoil your opponent's fun.

Casper: Blinking Spirit

Frogments: What's left of a Spore frog after it prevented combat damage.

Lock: Any situation where a player has little or no copable actions, usually by limiting his mana or by producing some constantly recurring effect.

Slurp: The sound effect produced by using either Drain Life, Soul Burn or Vicious Hunger on a creature.

Mine: Blue player declaration when stealing one of your permanents, usually by casting spells like Control Magic, Steal Artifact, or Bribery.

Mine: Using a Soldevi Excavations.

Denied!: Blue player declaration when casting counter magic.

Bringing Back: Returning a permanent, usually a creature, from the graveyard

That's all for now. I'll post back when I remember more. ;)

This is the stuff that my Magic Group uses:
Are you sure you want to do that = If you do, you die next turn
I don't like you = I attack you with everything I've got.
That creature's annoying = It's dead meat
Annoying deck = My Blue Counter-Control Deck
Smile = Counterspell(s) in hand
Hippie = Hypnotic Specter
Hymn = Hymn to Tourach

That's all I can think of.

Here are some of the things that me or people from my group said:
Replentish - Replenish
story behind it: no idea
Capsize - Cryptsize
story behind it: the guy who calls replenish replentish, has the crypt rats/spirit link/inviolability/ a whole lot of other studd/ deck. As soon as he uses the rats ability my other friend kept on capsizing the rats. Go figure :)
Magetnta- Mageta. No Idea. I say it like that sometimes. Stop making fun of me :)

Hmmm... All of that's true for my group, too, except for "that annoying deck" is fog'ive and Fog'et(read Turtle's Prophecy pre-relese report for the summary of it... I played him with it there.)

Thought of some more.

Pile - Any deck that's very poorly constructed.

Urza's Masturbator - Urza's Incubator

"Stupid Glacier Tricks" - (My invention) Using Glaciers at the end of my opponent's turn, even with the current errata, to grow my mana supply.

"Stupid Soothsaying Tricks" - (also my invention) Tapping out at the end of my opponent's turn with Soothsaying in play to rearrange my deck.

F*** Bank (aka Morphling's Momma) - Fog Bank

Palincrap - Palinchron

Raccoon Boy - Anybody that trades for foils like crazy (easily distracted by shiny things)

"No" - Phrase uttered whenever countermagic is used

Bastard-derm - Blastoderm

"Pop" - to tap and sacrifice a permanent for an effect. "I'll go ahead and pop my Nevinyrral's Disk."

City of @$$ - City of Brass

Pimpy - Any card that's especially cool (ex. My Japanese foil Archivist is pimpy. The fact that I bought it for $5 is *extremely* pimpy.)

Twister - Timetwister

Walk - Time Walk

Lotus - Black Lotus

Creep - To cast Creeping Mold on something. "I'll Creep your Worship." "Aw, crap."

Board - To sideboard in cards.

Waste - To activate Wasteland. "I'll Waste your Gaea's Cradle." "Gee...thanks."

Yeah, I can see this thread's been inactive for awhile, but I just wanted to throw in a couple of things that I would have added had I noticed this thread way back when it first started...

My trade phrases:

"This game... is over."

Distorted Fight Club reference.

Usually said when playing Absolute Law/Grace against a mono-red/black deck with my first-strike white weenie deck.

Could refer to any card play which ends all hope of a recovery by the opponent.

"I have you now."

Darth Vader, in [/i]The Empire Strikes Back[/i]

Usually facetious, it means I just made a mistake that will probably cost me the game.

"Bend over and take It like a man."

Sorry you're getting land-screwed (or creature-screwed, or just plain screwed). That's the way the game goes sometimes.

"Sh**s and giggles."

As in, "Let's play a game for ~."
Means to play a game for no reason other than to play a game (no tournament, no Arena, not even testing a deck).

"Rob Deck"

I didn't make this one up (Rob is me). Another player in the local group did.

It refers to any deck which relies on an engine of some kind to win. Examples would be Living Death, Recur-Survival, Palinchron (with Vanguard Sisay), Dream Halls Engine... stuff like that, which I played almost exclusively back in my deck-invention days.

I later swore off combo, to focus on my play skills (as opposed to my bore-you-to-death skills).

The term still gets applied to those in the group who play a deck like this, especially if it's a deck of their own design.

UNWORTHY! - When one of my friends plays Unworthy Dead.

Counter bait - A spell you that you know will be countered

Smack - Trash talk (talking smack to someone)

You might want to think about that - Casting Rethink to counter a spell


And, yes, you've guessed it,

SHINY! - Foil card

Are you Tim Hall = Whenever someone ask's if they have already played a land this turn, or say's that they haven't played a loand this turn. Tim Hall was a player who dominated the magic scene in England for a while whilst playing the CadBloom deck, and he always said that he had not layed a land yet before and after casting Natural Balance

Cheat = To use a Thawing Glacier (possibly the best card in the game) i.e At the end of your turn I will cheat.

I drafted with Northerners = Whenever you get a really powerful draft deck.

Cheeky XXXX = When you play/try to play a card that is unexpected at that time of the game (this is one of our phrases that was nicked by some famous Americans in Rome).

Why are you still here = When the game is quite obviously beyond you opponents reach yet they insist on still playing.

Can't think of any more at the moment but will keep you updated if I suddenly can.

Cheeky XXXX - as in, 'Cheeky Wrath' or 'Cheeky Scroll'. Not as in Cheeky F**k' - that`s what you say to your mates after the game.
