I was playng instagib the other day when I totally owned some guys when they lined up and I instagib'ed 4 people in a row!

So I was running around and a spammed a rocket into a door and it slapped this poor sucker in the face. I then jumped off the top of the level and instagibbed him with my railgun as I was falling. Dont think he had time to blink!

Instagib 

The act of being killed exceeding quickly. Standardly 1 shot. But in games lacking an 'instagib rifle' (or even anything resembling a gun) is usually taken to mean death in <1-2 seconds.
Unreal: The server had instagib enabled last night. Twas so chaotic my head was reeling after a few rounds.

Battlefield: That guy killed me as soon as I turned the corner.

Defense Of The Ancients: Care man, they will instagib you if you go too far alone.

This word was first borne with Unreal Tournament. One of the powerups that this game has includes a Shock Rifle that kills the enemy with one shot, no matter where it's hit. To Istagib, basically, means to kill with one single blow your opponent. Eventually used in Online Games.
