History UnusualEuphemism / VideoGames

* In ''VideoGame/TalesOfXillia'', Teepo uses the word "bazongas" to refer to breasts (Which is made apparent if you don't cook anything for a while, which may prompt him to say Elise will never grow any if she doesn't eat). Jude is shown to be unaware of the meaning in a skit, where Alvin and Rowen decide to take advantage of it for their amusement by goading him into yelling "TEACH ME ABOUT BAZONGAS!" at the top of his lungs, which gets him a scolding from Leia.

* One of the Naughty Sorceress' attacks in ''KingdomOfLoathing'' refers to cooking you up "a nice spaghetti breakfast." This is an euphemism one of the game staff uses for [[NaughtyTentacles tentacle rape]].

* In ''[[TheWitcher2 The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings]]'' it seems to be a common euphemism to replace the verb "fuck" with "plough", as in "Go plough yourself!" As a standard exclamation "fuck" is still liberally used in the game

* In the ''VideoGame/{{Pokemon}}'' series, the Day Care Man refers to Pokémon fornication as "playing", as in "[Your Pokémon] would prefer to play with other Pokémon than each other."

* At the end of ''ResidentEvil4'', Ashley apparently ends up swooning over her heroic savior (i.e. Leon), judging by her propositioning him for "overtime".

* Miscreants like Garrett are called "taffers" in the world of ''{{Thief}}''. Lower-class citizens use variants on this word, making sure nobody is "taffing about", "taffing with me", or "giving me taff". Though fans of the series speculated that "taffer" was derived from some real word from a European culture the universe resembled, the creators assures us the word was made up.

* In ''BlazeUnion'', when the girls of the party reject a gaggle of gangsters propositioning them, the gangsters decide to use force where words wouldn't work, and declare "ImTakingYouHomeWithMe" before attacking. Explicit use of the word "rape" would probably have forced a higher CERO rating on the game, but more importantly, it would have destroyed the over-the-top nature of the scene and [[DudeNotFunny taken away all that remained of its humor value]].

** The community's use of "clowns" to describe [[spoiler:[[TheLegionsOfHell Demons]]]] and circus for [[spoiler:Hell]] is even stranger.

* The official motto of ''VideoGame/DwarfFortress'' is "[[NintendoHard Losing is fun!]]" The fandom took this and ran with it, so now anything that's likely to kill your fort is "Fun." As in, "forgetting to put in a system to prevent your well from overflowing can lead to a lot of Fun." In this sense, it often overlaps with DeadlyEuphemism. Sometimes also carps ("[[OhCrap Oh, carp]]!") -- see ''LetsPlay/{{Boatmurdered}}'' for the reason why.
** On a related note, Gurglefin from [[VideoGame/Skylanders]] uses carp in this sense. [[DontExplainTheJoke He's a fishman.]]
** The "Hidden Fun Stuff". But certain parts of the community got tired of that, and when DF 2010 came out, produced a suite of Unusual Euphemisms: getting some "[[{{Unobtanium}} cotton candy]]", going to "[[FireAndBrimstoneHell the circus]]", and meeting "[[LegionsOfHell clowns]]".

* In the Mists of Pandaria expansion to ''VideoGame/{{World of Warcraft}}'' the Hozen frequently use "ook" and "dooker" (and variants) in ways to quite obviously suggest they are swear words.

* The third ''SlyCooper'' game had a level inhabited with pirates who came up with some rather amusing insults rather than traditional profanity. The title character even lampshades this at one point.

** A prime example: "I'm gonna ook you in the dooker!" No, really. It's actually said.

** Played with in the [[MassEffect2 second game]] during Garrus's romance. After his loyalty quest, he mentions how turians [[InterplayOfSexAndViolence "blow off steam"]] before high-risk missions (also leading to a gem along the lines of "I had the reach, she had the flexibility"). When Shepard suggests casual sex in the same manner, he agrees to research it so neither of them go into shock from exchanging incompatible fluids. After referring to it in very scientific terms and mentioning how terrible that sounds, he goes back to [[RunningGag "blowing off steam"]].
--> "I've never considered interracial intercourse before. [[LampshadeHanging That just makes it sound worse]]."

* In ''VideoGame/PaperMario'', Koopa Koot shouts quite a variety of these (mostly involving enemy characters) when Mario completes favors for him. "Great galloping goombas!" and "Suffering shy guys!" to name a few.

* An NPC in Happy Happy Village in ''VideoGame/EarthBound'' tells Ness, "Don't go to heaven!" This piece of dialog sounds like {{Nintendo}} of America put it in as an oddly censored version of "go to hell," but it was present in the Japanese version as well.

* In DragonAgeOrigins, Alistair will ask the player character in they've ever "licked a lamp post in the winter." In context, this becomes a euphemism for sex...or something. Also, Oghren will ask "Where can I get some sauce for that rump roast?"

* In the Mists of Pandaria expansion to ''VideoGame/{{World of Warcraft}}'' the Hozen frequently use "ook" and "dooker" (and variants) in ways to quite obviously suggest they are swear words.

** The community's use of "clowns" to describe [[spoiler:[[OurDemonsAreDifferent Demons]]]] and circus for [[spoiler:Hell]] is even stranger.

* During the opening of ''VideoGame/{{Portal 2}}'' when Wheatley is moving your bedroom, he tell's you he's going to "attempt a manual override on a wall". Translation: He is going to ''bang your bedroom against it until it goes through the wall''!

** Then, later, on a less humorous stance, Spencer is mumblimb about how the last boss 'shouldn't have messed' with him. Again, if you die, it becomes 'shouldn't have ''fucked'' ' with him.

** The fact that it colloquially means "excrement" in Polish is probably a coincidence. The name of the perennial ''SuperMarioBros'' villains caused a certain amount of hilarity in that part of the world for the same reason.
*** Better word to describe it would be "poo", as it carries similar, childish and informal meaning. And to be more specific, in Polish "kupo" could mean either "you poo", or be used as a vocative case.
** Jarringly averted in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX'', where, upon breaking a moogle out of a iceblock with a fire spell, he says "[[WesternAnimation/SouthPark You bastards]]!"
** Seems more like a multi-use word, like "Those smurfing smurfs smurfed Smurfette!" and "This tea is smurfingly smurfy!" ...Only with kupo.

*** Funny thing was that much later on, spoony turned out to be a real word that accurately described the character.

** VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII is strangely inconsistent about this, often replacing dialogue with a string of !@#$% but leaving the word "shit" uncensored.
*** Could be not so inconsistent - they print everything but the word "Fuck" in that game, so the strings of %#$@$^#$!^^ could be construed as long-winded rants rife with F-words that would've been too time-consuming to differentially censor, and possibly less funny as well.
*** The translation used for the [=PC=] version is much stricter. Even "shit" is isn't allowed and certain other more adult dialogue is edited out as well.
*** If you play your cards right, you can enter [[spoiler: the Honey Bee inn]] on Disc [[spoiler: 1]] where a room labeled "&$#% Room," which appears to be like all the others, is found.
