BloodBowl Jargon

Pipey · Post by **Pipey** » Fri Jan 21, 2005 11:51 am

For a while now I've had an interest in what you might call the BloodBowl meta-language i.e. the jargon we use whilst playing the game

Some of my favourite words and phrases from down the years:

-Blodger
-Crowd Surf
-Special Lineman
-Real Man's BloodBowl (when both players have burnt all rerolls)
-Guardener (any player with guard)

Any more gems I have overlooked?

When all re-rolls were gone, it was naked bloodbowl.

We called the block and tackle pieces Fishermen.

WarDancers with strip ball leap into the box/cage for a "surgical extraction action" instead of "blitzing"..........

Our leagues defenses liked to stack the lines of scrimmage and that lead to the term "rolling the line" as I'd start with the assist on one end and two dice block all the way down...

Or - how about "shoving matches" when nothing but pushes can be rolled for turns at a time?

or "waiters on a slow night" guys with shadowing that would follow the catchers all over? "Excuse me sir, but my name is Bob, and I'll be your waiter tonight. Can I get you anything? I'll be right here if you need me? How about now? Still ok? ":D - God my opponents hated that bit. LOL

Stunty dodging through the scrum. "Excuse me, 'scuse me, coming through, coming through, so sorry, pardon me.... Coming through."

"Skulling out"

Nuffling.

I forgot all about.

"there must be beer in the box" for those games where every av/inj roll makes a player leave the pitch.........

Or when no-one wants to return from KO...

Halflings of course might have buns or what-ever...

Thanks chaps, some quality terminology there! Especially liked blockler (and fisherman).

I think "real man's BloodBowl", "harcore BloodBowl" and "naked BlooBowl" are synonyms.

One of my favourite BloodBowling truisms:
"If you're going to push once, you might as well push twice!"
(for which there is no probabilistic justification

)

ps- what does nuffling mean?
