chivalry: medieval warfare 

Often abbreviated as Chiv amongst PC gamers. Chivalry: Medieval Warfare is a ridiculously badass First Person Slasher game made by Torn Banner Studios which is set in a medieval battlefield and consists of usually 16-24 players violently slashing and/or whacking the shit out of each other with swords, maces, clubs, and other archaic weaponry.

It's also one of the few games where it is entirely possible to accidentally decapitate your entire team with a wrong mouse click.
Man 1: "Fuck man I can't wait for Chivalry: Medieval Warfare to finish updating."

Man 2: "Same here, I've been itching to bash someone's head in with my heavy flail."

get medieval 

To physically torture or injure someone by means of archaic methods, usually involving tools frequently used for blacksmithing or traditional feudal era torture. Example of such include thumbscrews, flesh peeling, and branding.

"What now? Let me tell you what now. I'ma call a coupla hard, pipe-hittin' niggers, who'll go to work on the homes here with a pair of pliers and a blow torch. You hear me talkin', hillbilly boy? I ain't through with you by a damn sight. I'ma get medieval on your ass."

Im a sucker for medieval castles

The best meme in The COD zombies community.
"Im a sucker for medieval castles and thats where we are going in der eisendrache."

go medieval

From the movie Pulp Fiction, one of the most feared characters stated his henchmen would "go medieval on yo' ass", which basically was a way of saying his men would click out on the men being threatened. To go medieval means to become savagely violent without restraint, similar to how we imagine those in the savage, unrestrained medieval times would respond to someone who had done them wrong.
Don't make me "go medieval on yo' ass!"

Medieval body shape

(Noun)
A female human body in line with the ideals of Medieval Europe, i.e. a petite and slender figure, small and round breasts high on the chest, and a protruding, round belly.
Beauty ideals change over time and depending on the location and context. In Western Europe during the Middle Ages, the nobility set a particular beauty ideal for women: a fragile and petite figure, with small and round breasts high on the chest, and a protruding round belly. The Medieval body shape eventually gave way to new Renaissance ideals.

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
