nerf

The term "nerf" comes from the online gaming world of Ultima Online.

At one point in the game, the developers reduced the power of swords in melee combat.

This resulted in players complaining that it was like they were hitting each other with nerf bats, not swords.

From then on, if ever something gets made less worth while than it had been originally, it has been considered a 'nerf'.

"Oh man, they reduced the dmg on the berserker class and now it's totally nerfed!"

"Damn, the Devs nerfed those axe's real good!"

nerf

Nerf is an anagram for non-expandable recreational foam, used in things like stress toys and as projectiles of some toy guns, great for firing at people around the office, although I would recommend that you work in a relaxed working environment first, as a stray foam projectile in your bosses coffe could lead to your dismissal.

This can also be used to describe a shot in a game that caused little harm (as with the foam projectiles).

Player 1: Yay! Direct hit! That must've hurt!
Player 2: Nah, you just nerfed me.
