Modern gaming terminology has given us a new variant: FRAG!

While it has always been in use as a shorthand for fragmentation, specifically referring to grenades and other munitions which expel unpleasant things along with their detonation, it has also become a denotation of being killed.

i.e.: "Didja see that? I fragged that n00b! PWNZORZ" or "I'm gonna frag you then camp your spawn!"

I'm partial to Gorramit and Ruttin from Firefly... there's also D'arvit from Artemis Fowl. Belar (Belgariad and Malloreon) and Skorm (Fable/Fable TLC/Fable Anniversary) also come to mind.

Frag is originally from the Vietnam war and alluded to how 1st Lts (lowest grade officer, known for asking for stupid/and/or deadly things) somehow frequently managed to snag the safety ring on their fragmentation grenades causing them to discharge on the person of said 1st Lt. Not that I was old enough to be involved in such shenanigans as I was a senior in HS when Saigon fell.

Actually, 2nd lieutenant is the lowest grade of commissioned officer. First lieutenant is the next one up.

Shows how long it's been since I got out. That was actually my second draft, I put JG in there the first time...

Don't forget Felgercarb! (That one reaches back to the original series...)
You know that light at the end of the tunnel?

Yeah... it's a bullet. Sorry.
