Stop saying "Leeroy Enfield"

Recommended Posts

I have noticed in the forums and in game people have been saying "Leeroy Enfield"

Stop it.

It is not "leeroy", as the name comes from James Paris Lee who designed the rifle at Royal Small Arms Factory London Borough of Enfield.

This is not WoW. There is no leeroy. Cut that crap out.

People in World at War used to pronounce "Gewehr" as "Goo-er".

Never called the Enfield Leeroy before - but hey - what a nice nickname for it!

So sad that there isnt much use for the Leeroy in dayz.

Heh, this reminds me of the poster that got so mad because people were using "clips" and "magazines" interchangeably. If you really want to stop it I think you'd be better off just correcting people as you see it versus creating an entire post about it.

I think the military buffs that made up the pre-Day Z Arma crowd need to accept that a bunch of newbies are coming in to kill zombies, not get a history lesson.

LEEEROOOOYYYYYY *Charges at a town filled with zombies with an Leroy Nfield*

If you tell me further what to do, i can screw the name up even more for you...

Now just for telling people what to do, I am going to start calling it the leeroy enfield, even though this is the very first i heard about it...

Love all the mmo-lingo in ArmA, it's quite refreshing for a change.

Whoever coined Leeroy Enfield, you cool.

Pet names for weapons (i.e. winnie for Winchester) are simply inevitable. There are better things to get annoyed with.

Replies like that are why after 120+ posts you have a -3 rep. It wasn't a smartass reply at all.

I prefer to call it my zombie summoning stick but the OP came up with a decent name. Decent in that it's old and tired meme funny.
