I thought these terms Cows and lemmings where very well known in the gaming world. Like when im talking about either system with people on live while waiting for a gears match to start and i use the terms cows and lemmings, they dont know what the hell im talkin about and act like im crazy. Its kind of funny lol

You really thought people outside of these forums went around calling each other animal names? hehe... that is funny.... Many of us on the forums don't even use those silly names, I know I never have.

I've done the same thing.  Whenever someone bad talks the PS3 for example on XBL during a match or just whatever I'll blurt out, "Hahaha The Cows Have Been Owned!" (here we just say TCHBO).  It gets quiet and someone will be like, "huh?".  Then I'll say "I'm gonna take yall lems 2 school".  It gets them even more confused LOL.

I really thought XBL players would have known about cows/lems/sheep/hermits but guess not.  I like the language spoken here the best and its all for fun.

That site is just full of stupid lemmings so I would doubt they would know much of anything.  :lol:iwo4life

And the other half are full of Pain Loving Cows, who come back day in, and day out to yet again, hear more bad news about their P$3 and how games on the 360 yet again, run better and have online.  :lol:

Oh, I forgot, you have "Home", home of the internets sausage f@#st.  NOthing like Sony's online, where you can dress up you transgender male with all those lovely hats and bell bottom pants.  Where you can share your ripped version of "Bareback Mountain" and Queer as Folk" with your closest friends.:lol:

Expect for www.systemwars.com which is composed of GS SW veterans anyway.

You actually expected people to know what you were talking about? Those terms have miniscule influence beyond Gamespot, and where they are known, it's generally because someone from Gamespot has told them about it.

The reason they aren't used on the likes of Live is because not everyone on it is 13.

That's not the gaming world. Using those words is like surrrendering half your brain. It has nothing to do with gaming it just has a lot to do with insulting someone enjoys one console more then another. Seems more like ignorance to me. I'm glad not a lot of people knows what those words are that means they're well versed in the world of gaming.
