Chang Tan's definitions
Usually in first person shooters and RPGs, when game developers think a weapon is far too powerful, and threatens the stability of the game, and weakens the aspects of that power drmatically to rebalance it.
When diablo 2 came out, everyone played either a necromancer or a barbarian. Now necromancers is nerfed to a point where its intolerably difficult to duel against other players without people just dodging your summoned minions and shove a axe into your face.

Get the nerfmug. A marketing pitch used by Subway (like that 6g fat crap) and McDonalds to scam millions of judgement-lacking idiots into think a lard-packed, cheese stuffed, burrito or Subway Sandwich, with loads of mayonaise and unsalted butter topping it off will make them lose weight.
"Tonight, why not try our all new Atkins-approved supersized beef taco! With all of your favorite ingredients, barbeque sauces, mayonaise, excess poorly drained bacon, melted fatty-cheese residue from the dairy factory, and topped off with solid chunks of lard for that mmm mmm flavor!"

Get the Atkins dietmug. Age/Sex/Location, first question you will EVER see when you enter a chatroom. Used by everyone who needs some "cybering"

Get the aslmug. A term used to describe when a "underground" genre of musical expression has been fully embraced by the public media through aggressive advertising (aka MTV). Following this phase, the style begins to rapidly plummet in popularity while the ravenous leeches and posers choose to find a new fad to gnaw upon.
During the "Golden Years" of a mainstream topic, the genre recieves praise in record numbers, often represented by record numbers of identity-free morons with nothing to make themselves "stand out". It gains brief immortality during this phase, with not enough love, and not enough hate to dislodge it.
Only when the "haters" prevail in larger numbers in proportion to fans will the death sentence of a genre be finalized.

Rap music still hasn't died because for a decade, it has worked secretly to poison the urban population with wife-beating lyrics and brain-damaging rhythmes, making a permanantly imprint on the inner-city folk.
Very devilish plan indeed...

Get the mainstreammug. Awful computer game, where you serve as a god/deity that invokes your will on people too stupid to know when to take a shit, walk to the mailbox, and wake up in time for work.
The adults appear to have a mental illness, and a poor attention span, as they cannot stop chatting about soccer, airplanes, mountains, money, and the local burglar without crying a river, run back into their house, pee over the carpet, and still welcome their guests in to their kitchen, where a thriving colony of roaches and ants are having a squaredance in tile:#3457.
Sometimes the children are smarter and more active than their parents, keeping their fun, comfort, and social levels up, while somehow attaining a genetic trait that grants them immortality. However, if they ever miss a single bus when the time arrives, a humvee arrives to take them to military school.
Often its funnier to make the lives of your "victims" as agonizing as possible, rather than making them successful and prominent members of Simian society.

I built a two story blood-speckled castle for the Weyland family, a tribe of demons visiting Sim-Estates to harvest fresh souls for the summoning of Cthulu. Already in the first 24 hours I had killed 80 Simian men.
Ah the joys of The Sims!
