Action Lag

When you are playing a normally smooth-running game that begins to lag due to heavy action at that moment.

"Dude, last when I was playing Medal of Honor I was taking fire from all sides. Major action lag"

"My new PC with 8 gigs of RAM couldn't stop some of the action lag from WoW"

Horror Lag Spike

The random quick spike of lag one witnesses at a random point in a horror related game.

Which often indicates the game loading in something that will kill or chase the player.

You never want to see a Horror Lag Spike in games.

guns don’t kill people, lag does

A play on “guns don’t kill people, people kill people”, but in response to the growing number of school shootings being blamed on first- and third-person shooters.

Coined by the Act Man, “guns don’t kill people, lag does”, shows the irony of the situation we’re in, Luddites meeting up and talking about Grand Theft Auto.

Lag Switcher

Usually some limpdick, no-skill loser-scrub who feels the need to intentionally lag the game in order to win. Most commonly used in fighting games and FPS games.

He's definitely a lag switcher, I played against him online and when I was about to beat him and then the game suddenly started lagging when I tried to block his ultimate, he won and left without saying anything.
