History UnusualEuphemism / VideoGames

* This little exchange in LuminousArc2 (said in a joking manner):

** Justified in that, most of the time, said daycare man is talking to an [[KidHero 11 to 12-year-old]]; though since these are E-rated games, the man will still say this to the teenage protagonists of ''VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite'', ''VideoGame/PokemonBlack2AndWhite2'', and ''VideoGame/PikemonXAndY''.
** It's also quite possible they DON'T mate - according to a special scene in [=HeartGold=] and [=SoulSilver=], [[spoiler:Arceus creates every single Pokémon egg. Which aren't quite exactly eggs, but more like a sort of nursery or cradle]].

** Also because it's quite possible they DON'T mate - according to a special scene in [=HeartGold=] and [=SoulSilver=], [[spoiler:Arceus creates every single Pokémon egg. Which aren't quite exactly eggs, but more like a sort of nursery or cradle]].

** In fact, Fire Emblem is full of this stuff. "Moldy onions" and "hornet hairs" in particular stand out.

* One of the ''HarvestMoon'' games has the term "Best Friend system" when to the lesbian marriage option. You "best friend" your 'friend' even though they clearly have both Affection and Friendship points once you get a certain item, and that the clearly affectionate lines are all left in from the original male-only version of the game.

* In ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'', Morrowind's local MurderInc calls itself the Morag Tong, which translates as the Foresters' Guild. Since they operate legally and publicly, everybody knows what the axes are ''really'' for.

* In the Franchise/StarWars ''KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'' games, "space" is frequently used. Examples include "Space off," and "Go space yourself".

* In the {{MMORPG}} ''PuzzlePirates'', the game client allowed three settings for filtering swear words: Leave them unfiltered, turn them into %* $#@! and the like, or "Pirate-ize" them, making them acceptable terms. This generated such phrases as, "We're all scuppered." Even the simple acronym "wtf" would be translated into "Blistering blue barnacles!" - a ShoutOut to ''{{Tintin}}''.

* A meta-example in the ''VideoGame/DwarfFortress'' [[Community/DwarfFortress community]] -- "Fun", derived from the motto of the game, "[[NintendoHard Losing is Fun]]", and ''always'' capitalized. It can be both used to refer to the act of losing ("I'm having a lot of ''Fun'' right now,") and factors that are likely to make you lose ("I just embarked in a particularly ''Fun'' [[DeathWorld evil biome]].")
** Sometimes also carps ("[[OhCrap Oh, carp]]!") -- see ''Community/DwarfFortress'' for the reason why.
*** On a related note, Gurglefin from ''VideoGame/{{Skylanders}}'' uses carp in this sense. [[DontExplainTheJoke He's a fishman.]]

* In a probably unintentional example - being a game targeted to a younger audience - within the game ''VideoGame/{{Mechquest}}'', there was a holiday event in which you could go into a house where a randomized NPC would say a rumor about your character. One included: "I heard that *your character name* does somersaults with Nurse Helia!" Nurse Helia is female, if you were wondering. Or maybe FreudWasRight in just my case.

** And oddly enough, [[FreudWasRight the obvious answer]] isn't on the list of responses. "Up yours" is, however.

* In ''VisualNovel/AtomGrrrl'', Jessica yells out "Puss in boots!" at one point while having sex with Anna. Anna is just as confused as the reader likely is.

* BioWare seems to be quite fond of this trope (among many, '''[[{{Troperiffic}} many]]''' others), as in the Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC for VideoGame/MassEffect2, we had this exchange.

** 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]]". Nobody's completely sure ''why'' these particular euphemisms are used, but the most logical explanation offered is, naturally, that they're Fun.

* In ''ZorkGrandInquisitor'', Yoruk is an ancient and powerful wizard, so powerful in fact that wars have been fought over the possession of his skull. (And yes, this is a ShoutOut to ''[[Creator/WilliamShakespeare Hamlet]].'') As such, people use the term "Sweet Yoruk!" in the same way people in real life use "Sweet Jesus!" (though they say "Sweet Yoruk" more than people in real life say "Sweet Jesus". When was the last time you heard someone say "Sweet Jesus"?)

* [[SamAndMaxHitTheRoad Sam and Max Hit The Road gives us]]:
-->'''Sam:''' Percent sign ampersand pound sign!

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

* CantrII: [[PitifulWorms Be well]], [[GiveMyRegardsInTheNextWorld kind regards]], [[ParentheticalSwearing best wishes]]. [[PassiveAggressiveKombat Standard signoffs from staff]], after handing down arbitrary judgements with flimsy justifications, the implications when reading through the rest of the message is "Go away and die, little bug". Collect the set! Bonus points if {{Angrish}} is making the nonsensical even moreso.

*** This may be most famous from FF6, but I was familiar with the expression when I first played the game - a librarian I knew said it from time to time before the game was ever made. Submariners definitely have a reputation even compared to other navy personnel for coming into port ready to do something or other that might result in having a son, with any female without much regard to attractiveness, temperament, etc.. Still, they chose to use it...

* In '''Reality Breakdown: Kel's War''', the third game in the RealityBreakdown series and the first to happen chronologically, protagonist Kel's home dimension seems a bit different from most other dimensions, in that they use energy from the sun to perform their "magic", and have "frap" as a swear word. The word is versatile, too, as one NPC is seen running into town yelling "One frapping huge army is coming!", while another time Kel wakes up and asks a party member how long he was out. When hearing how many days he was unconscious, he says "frap, I missed the weekend". Amusingly, Kel uses the word in another dimension later in the game, and naturally no one knows what he's talking about. The word is likely a combination of "fuck" and "crap".
** Interesting combination, as "fuck" and "crap" are two words on opposite sides of the swear scale (with "shit" being about between them, but leaning slightly more to the "fuck" side of the scale). Of the five most common expletives, they rank fuck, shit, crap, damn, ass. Just check most TV programs. Censorship seems to only allow swears up to a certain level of the scale depending on the program, and likely the time it's on. Futurama will allow crap, damn, and ass (lots of ass), but not shit or fuck. They say "bastard" a few times, though.

* The word "Frag" is used to mean a kill in an online FPS. ''See LiveActionTV examples below''.

* ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'' has [[{{Meido}} Shannon]] and [[BattleButler Kanon]] refer to themselves as "furniture". This seems to be a way of illustrating the class difference between themselves and their love interests, who are members of the family they serve, and how (in Kanon's case), they have no right to be with them. [[spoiler:The truth is actually even sadder.]]

** 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 ''[[NintendoWars Days of Ruin]]'' an unnamed IDS agent uses terms such as "Oh good gravy" and "Sweet corn casserole!". This and her other funny dialog (such as being the only one to care that the plane they are on is crashing) is key in framing the theme of the [[BreatherLevel breather chapter]] she appears in.

* 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 tentacle rape.

** Sometimes also carps ("[[OhCrap Oh, carp]]!") -- see ''LetsPlay/{{Boatmurdered}}'' for the reason why.

* In ''FatalFury 3'', when you play as Mai Shiranui in a single player game, the pre-battle conversation with Andy Bogard includes this line:

* Jurassic: The Hunted has:

* How about the word "Kupo" said by the moogles from ''FinalFantasy''? An early cutscene in ''FinalFantasyTacticsAdvance'' has Monteblanc, a moogle, utters the line "That's the most Kupo thing I've ever heard!"

* ''[[VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry]]'' has [[{{Meido}} Shannon]] and [[BattleButler Kanon]] refer to themselves as "furniture". This seems to be a way of illustrating the class difference between themselves and their love interests, who are members of the family they serve, and how (in Kanon's case), they have no right to be with them.
