The move you should make. "Your play" was what you did, "The play" is what you should have done. Commonly used in turn based games or autobattlers on twitch, but can refer to any kind of game or sport.

Scissors is just wrong. Bart always throws rock, paper is the play.

The Play

"The Play" is the moment in a game of Magic the Gathering that a Death and Taxes style deck takes control of the game to the point where there's a less than 25% chance of recovery.

This usually comes from breaking parity or a specific hate piece resolving, Death and Taxes decks win several turns before the game is over.

"...and there is The Play, after 9 turns of back and forth removal Steve finally resolves a Leyline of the Void, all but ensuring his victory."

"While we didn't know it at the time, The Play this game was a turn 2 winter orb. Who could have guessed an artifact deck would have such a hard time against it?"

the play action pass

When you are having sex with a female and you spit on her back to make her think you just cummed. She will then turn around. You splooge in your hand and throw it in her face.

Sally got extremely pissed last night when I completed the third Play Action Pass of the evening.

Galantir

A group of people, typically women, searching through someone’s digital footprint in order to find more information about that person.

Susie wasn’t sure if her new Hinge match was a creep, so she assembled Galantir and they found out he used to post slurs on gaming forums.

murderhobo

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.

DM: The sad little orphan girl tugs at Steve's trenchcoat to get his attention, and ask for help saving her pet dog from...
Steve: I'd like to roll a strength check against strangling the orphan.
Dave: I call dibs on the dog.
DM: You murderhobos disgust me.
