It’s nothing new that the slang that appears on the Internet has finally left the virtual world to be used in real-world conversations. Even those who have never shot Counter Strikebut at least he’s on the internet, knows terms like cheat, noob, ban, bug and lag.
More recently, new concepts have become popular to talk about “kicking the boots.” After the F key explodes as a way to show respect to someone who appears – outgoing in the game Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare -, teenagers now use the word “going to base” to denote someone who has died (or is about to die).
According to the Modern Dictionary, the origin of the idiom, which can also be said for those who just leave a place or go to rest, comes from games. Especially in online shooting games, a dead player returns to base at respawn time.
Hexa was from 2022.
And it’s not just “go base” that’s famous. If he wasn’t, he was nearly dead, or at least a number of other terminologies were used as a euphemism for someone who was no longer in the same environment as his friends.
“It was for food and drink”, “It was for drifting upwards”, “It was for sleeping forever in a magnificent cradle” and even “Hexa em was for 2022” were popularized. A researcher recently found that his tweet went viral, and many people contributed by offering new options for those who want to cover something up. Browse jokes with the following terms:
