I like that Maxxing Out thing...

Generally, around my arcade, a set of all 10s (real 10s, not Sakura) is called a Death Set

Also,

Hardcore Player-one who shows up at the arcade in workout clothes carrying a towel, water bottle, and other workout type accessories, and possibly a large container of tokens. Typically plays on Maniac/Heavy or Oni mode. (I am one, and I know a lot of people out there do this because, after all, DDR is a workout, but I don't see that many of them in my area, so this term has kind of stuck...)

Also, Neemo, you might consider simply editing your original post to update and add the changes, rather than redoing the thing every time. That'd make it easier to find the most current version within the thread, and would cut down on the number of pages to wade through. Just a thought, though.

i fuxored up the quote bb code but... i vote to call the matt huimp, the "humpty hump' and whenever someone does sexy planet, sing the humpty hump song.

also

SILVER BULLET- the one person in a competioion who is expected to win before the first round. i.e. mike AAA'es most standard songs, but still enters standard, therefore mike is the silver bullet.

trainee- a budding ddrtist who immeditly asks a veteran ddrtist for help after buying the game. thet would make the vet ddrtist a ddr sensi. or however that's spelled.

May want to add Jukebox Mode. Jukebox mode is when you play a song Dark + Stealth so it just shows the background movie.

Pittsburgh Line - Alternative to the quarter line. People form a physical line that wraps around behind the pads so everyone can still watch. Usually leads to major confusion. Easy to cut into.

Example:
(M is the Machine}
(P is the Pads)
(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. is the line order)
(. is just a space filler)
. MMM
. . . . . . 1
. PPP . .2
7 6 5 4 3
8 9 10 11

(Yes, we actually do that, and no, we don't TRY to, it just turns out that way... every time)

X Whore - One who plays the same song over and over. Usually used for practice but sometimes for showing off. Replace X with the name of the song (Example: Butterfly Whore)

And I think the person who posted "Pie" was just trying to be an buttocks and act like he has mad DDR skillz.
