"Meme Sword" ExplanationIn reference to Ludwig's Holy Blade, which is one of the best weapons in the game due to high scaling and a versatile moveset. "Meme Sword" refers to the fact that the weapon is used extremely commonly, to the point where seeing it used in PvP and co-op is a very common sight. It being really cool to use doesn't help matters.
"You just got Anwar'd" ExplanationStems from EpicNameBro's video on the Bone Ash Cannon and Reiterspallach Game-Breaker combo where he recommends shouting this line after wrecking opponents just because it'd sound more awesome.
Kos... some say Kosm.ExplanationOne of the lines Micolash repeats when you fight him. The idea that the followers of an Eldritch Abominationcan't agree on its name amused quite a lot of people.
Grant us eyes. Grant us eyes.ExplanationAnother of Micolash's lines, usually followed by specifying he wants the eyes on his brain.
AHWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!ExplanationMicolash is known to randomly howl during the fight with him. This is presumably to mock you, a Hunter of the wolf-like Beasts, but it still stands out for making no sense on the surface.
A HOONTER MOOST HOONT ExplanationIn reference to the funny way Eileen the Crow pronounces "A Hunter must Hunt", due to her thick Oop North accent.
Also: "A hoonter should hoont beasts. Leave the hoonting of hoonters to me".
Blood hunter Death Dream Blood nightmare hunt dream hunter Blood Nightmare Old Blood Nightmare (or any combination of the above)Explanation a meme started by ZeroLenny which pokes fun at Bloodborne's story basically just being a mishmash of the same handful of gothic horror phrases.
The "Make Contact" and the "League Oath" gestures have pretty much become the new "Praise the Suns". Doubly so for "League Oath", since it is Bloodborne’s actual equivalent of the Warriors of Sunlight.
DOLL WAIFU IS BEST WAIFU! ExplanationDue to the Plain Doll's popularity and the tendency for most players (male or otherwise) to refer to her as "My Waifu".
From the TV... Give me the tea... Sushi piggy...ExplanationThe misheard "lyrics" to the Cleric Beast theme which originated from the Bloodborne Fast Facts video.
Due to the Cleric Beast's memorable howling, there are many videos of people or animals screaming, overlaid with the Bloodborne UI showing the Cleric Beast's health bar while its theme plays.
Badass Pizza Cutter.ExplanationThe new "Whirligig Saw" trick weapon shown in The Old Hunters TGS trailer has gotten some attention for how ridiculous and badass it looks.
The Snakes map. ExplanationA map of the Forbidden Woods◊ that uploaded to the Bloodborne wiki; said "map" was just a big circle drawn in MS Paint, the connection broken in one part to place an entrance, and a big text box with just the word "Snakes" in it.
Speaking of snakes, expect to find lots of messages with the word "snake" in them in the vicinity of long ladders.
Spin2Win!ExplanationThe Hunter Axe, when transformed, has a spinning attack as its charged heavy move. It's quite infamous for its excellent reach (often clipping through walls) and damage, inflicting knockdown/stagger on most enemies, and being easily spammable due to the relatively short charge time.
"Away, away!" ExplanationA line you will be hearing very often from the Huntsmen.
The Bloodborne Machine. ExplanationIn the early days of the PlayStation 4's lifecycle, Bloodbornewas generally seen as one of its few desirable exclusives. The joke of someone buying one just to play Bloodborne came not long after. This also led to "PS4 has one game!" joke, a successor to "PS3 has no games!"
NEVER EVER. ExplanationBetween the above and the fact that the Souls games were multiplatform, many people proclaimed that they would wait for it to inevitably get ported to other platforms. As it became clear this wasn’t going to happen, PS4 players made variants of "your daily reminder that Bloodborne is a PS4 exclusive and will NEVER EVER be on PC", also Doubling as a Take That! towards the so-called "PC Master Race"."
Bloodborne KartExplanationJokes that the next game in the series will be a cart racing game. Originally conceived as fake joke leaks, the meme grew to become inexplicably popular, complete with faked screenshots and gameplay videos, cumulating into an actual fan game made by the same people behind the Video Game Demake, BloodbornePSX.
Due to the extreme difficulty of the boss fight it's associated with and the exhilarating nature of the music in question, editing a particular section of Ludwig, the Holy Blade's boss themenote the segment around the 1-minute mark where the screaming Gothic chorus starts howling in your ears onto gameplay footage from other games as a humorous auditory shorthand for "extremely tough boss fight" (especially when it's placed over bosses that aren't remotely difficult, i.e. Pinwheel or even basic starting-game enemies).
"Bloodborne for like five minutes/The rest of Bloodborne".Explanation A template parodying the game's now well known Genre Shift by contrasting something vaguely gothic horror with something vaguely cosmic horror. An example.
Living Failures/Hey, that's me.ExplanationThe name of a certain DLC boss fight lends itself to many Self-deprecatory remarks, most often seen during Lets Plays either from the player, the chatroom, or even both.
Referring to the game as being an accurate depiction of being in the UK is quite popular.
The Cum DungeonExplanationAn extremely useful Root Chalice has been discovered, allowing you to get 84 thousand Blood Echoes just by walking through a doorway and standing still due to a weird quirk of loading processes (basically, an NPC hunter spawns in the way of a trap on the other side of a wall near the front of the dungeon; his hitbox loads in before his model, so he takes damage but can't stagger out of the way. The trap kills him, and the game thinks the player did it). Hilariously (and a bit disgustingly too), the glyph code for this dungeon is "cummmfpk", leading to the unfortunate moniker of The Cum Dungeon.
Mergo's Pig Fisting RouteExplanationThe other farming method for people who don't like the exploity nature of cummmpfk. This route involves using visceral attacks on the Maneater Boars in Mergo's Loft; visceral attacks used on the boars have a veryunfortunateanimation, leading to the risque name.
Orphan of PizzaExplanationA discovery was made by Jerma985 during his LP of Pizza Tower where he discovered Peppino's pain scream is similar to the Orphan of Kos's screams, and surely enoujgh, it turned out they both came from the same licensed sound effect library, with the particular screams being provided by William Hanna.
