"I'm fucking potatoed..."
by Hannah R May 28, 2005
An exclamation or statement expressing the sentiment that one should never become so grown-up that one loses the ability to be childish.
Longer expressions that mean the same thing:
"Never get so battle-fatigued that you can't enjoy your shore-leave."
"Never work so hard to provide for your kids that you lose the ability to play with them."
Origin: In the children's book Wayside School is Falling Down, a boy named Calvin gets a tattoo of a potato on his ankle because "he likes potatoes." This expression is a reminder to always keep some of that simple innocence in your heart.

In first-person shooter video games, a potato is a person, normally a "noob", who gets on your team and has absolutely no skill at playing the game. Therefore, they get taken down very quickly when the match starts. A potato is only useful for those brief moments when they are being relentlessly gunned down by the enemy by providing a distraction so that the more skilled players on the team can counterattack or sneak up behind the enemy. A potato is useless in any other scenario that requires not dying and they will likely drag the rest of a player's team down with them when they beg for a revive. This potato revive scenario is also a countertactic used by highly skilled and experienced competitors who will camp out to shoot at anyone who comes near the downed potato. A potato's treachery, while unintentional, knows no bounds.
Player 1: "Hey don't revive BigfootsMilf69, he will only get you killed alongside him!"
Player 2: "Yeah, what a potato!"
Player 2: "Yeah, what a potato!"
