A term coined by the Starcraft commentator Cholera, named after the Korean pro Starcraft player Hyuk, used to describe the act of losing after having a seemingly insurmountable lead. It came about due to Hyuk's repeated failures even with all the odds in his favour in several pro-league matches.

The two states of being are as a human being, or a hungry ghost. Semi-regularly you need to ask yourself which you are. Sometimes it is human. Others, alas, it is hungry ghost.
The hungry ghost seeks validity outside of themselves. Someone pining for an indifferent ex is a hungry ghost. Someone who arrives alone at 6:30 on Saturday night to a pub is probably a hungry ghost. Obsessive checking of mobile phones, chat sites or networks are clear signs that one is a hungry ghost.
The best thing to do is just stay home and ride it out. Read a book. Find some good clean fun.

Mate: How are you?
Dumped: I'm a hungry ghost, man.
Mate: What'd ya do last night?
HG: Urg. I hungry ghosted around The Oxford for a few hours, then walked home past her house, and HIS car was there...
Mate: Why'd you call man?! It's just rampant hungry ghostery.

Mocking or Redneck-type laugh, variant of "haha" or "hehe". Spelled like it sounds when those of particular Southern persuasions speak.

Another Starcraft related term also coined by commentator Cholera. It means to destroy an opponent, even though previously, there would have been little to no chance of doing so.

'𝘏𝘺𝘶𝘬' is a term coined by George 'Goofy' Geef. George first used the term in 1932 as a laugh when Pluto came on stage in Mickey's Revue and pulled off stage quickly. The term has spread around quickly and George's 'A Goofy Movie' has been nominated 5 times at the 23rd Annie Awards, possibly as a result of his goofiness and 'Hyuk'.
Goofy : Hyuk! I sure hope that wasn't too much text!
Mickey : Oh I'm sure they're nice, and they will let this slide.
