Two expressions that came into our group from playing marathon car wars games back in college.
"Rolled a 6!" -- Used anytime that someone fumbles / fails horribly and with a disasterous result. Comes from the table you roll on when you fail a control roll performing a manuever; you had a 1 in 6 chance of your car flipping into the air, bursting in flames, and rolling end over end.
"Riding in John's car" -- During one particular 2 day marathon session, John had consistently defeated everyone in the room time and time again whether we were fighting on the road or in the arena. At the end of the long second day, we were all sitting around drinking and someone happened to pick up one of his car designs; gave a shout and grabbed for the rest of them to look. Sure enough, John was able to have more armor, weapons, and ammo than the rest of us because he had forgotten to put an engine in any of his cars. To this day when anyone has a PC in any game who is severely min/maxed, twinked, munchkined, or just plain broken, it "rode to the game in John's car"
