Invective Index: A Museum for Edition War Memorabilia
This thread is intended as a catalogue of the creative names invented by edition warriors to make fun of other editions and their proponents. I'm only familiar with a few, so I'm explicitly asking for community help in enumerating these hopefully entertaining names.
This thread is a museum for edition war memorabilia. This thread is not intended as a venue for edition wars.
I think this thread doesn't violate the forum rules, and I hope it is both informative and entertaining.
Without further ado, here are the invectives that I've seen.

I've seen Grognard tossed about for any player who grumbles about a new edition or rule change, or generally prefers older editions. From the French for an old soldier (literally, grumbler).

Re: Invective Index: A Museum for Edition War Memorabilia
I have a friend who calls pathfinder "mathfinder" intending it to be derogatory toward the system
The first rule of gaming, before you have even chosen the game is and always should be
HAVE FUN
(FUN being defined as it is in dwarf fortress)
