quicksave

A function assigned to a key in computer games which allows manual saving of the game without having to enter the game menu.

1. Let's just quicksave real quick before fighting all those enemies so I can load if I lose a hit point or waste too much ammo.
2. I died and forgot to quicksave before! Now I have to backtrack through the whole level!
3. Quicksaving is for pussies!
