Anyone got a smile inducing meaning of GW, FW or any of the other popular ones?

I'm not so good at this but my wife's pretty good usually and says you need a Good Wallet to mess in our world!

I think the secondary GW (great weapon) speaks for itself

BS always can get a giggle out of friends

I am not sure about re-applying acronyms but our little hobby group has a couple go to thinks.

Dark Angels -> Dork Angels. Mostly because I play them. I also call them Watermelon Marines.

"to Boromir" is when you pick off someone's IC while it's not connected to a squad for some reason. Catching an IC alone, watching him take loads of "arrows." Good times. Rarely happens though.

Chaos Spawn = Blubblublbuulbulublubbublublub! A friend of mine literally built a Chaos Spawn out of a rock that he glued a bunch of spare spawn parts onto, and then glued like 15 googly eyes to it. We tend to make Zoidberg noises around him.

SoB is a rather unfortunate one. I'm sure I don't need to explain why.

The new one, AS, is a bit better in that regard. Unless somebody tries to abbreviate "Adepta Sororitas Squad".

The good old Ass Cannon is an easy example

I always felt BFG should apologise at least a little to Roald Dahl.

I have twin linked ass cannons on my Contemptor. I'm totally going to call him a kontemptor now. Kont means ass here.

Shooting with the Emperors doodie since 2014.

Heh. I advise you not to use that word in front of an anglophone. They might think you are saying a word that sounds a bit similar in English

Pronouncing "GW" in Polish results in something that sounds similar to our word for gak. Coincidence?

GW: Grabs Wallet

FW: Feths Wallet

Of course, it does take one to have a certain level of bitterness to find those actually funny and not just sadly amusing.

Beat me to it, Although the "Adepta Sororitas squad" made my day

Gok Wan! Ooooooohhhhhhh fashion! (for space monsters)

I can't help it when my friends talk about how full of OP-ness an army /codex is. This always gets me laughing because it sounds like they are saying ''Oh Penis'' and they simply don't notice.

There is so much ''Oh Penis'' in your army i don't want to face it!

Mature..
