英語口語コーナーコミュのRoxxor

One word that's pretty popular amongst videogamers in the West at the moment is the word "Roxxor" which basically means "something that's good".

For example: "Phantasy Star IV's teh Roxxor!!!" ["teh" being an alternate spelling of the word "the" amongst videogamers as well]

It may sound like jargon but the term is also popular amongst offline gamers as well as online gamers.

I believe the term is pronounced "Rox-xor" if I'm not mistaken...

rox-xor seems not to show its pronunciation clearly. how about rock-sor? i dont know actually. can anybody help?

I looked it up and xor is an internet slang for "hacker". Pronounced "zor". <-Does it have somthing to do with orz?

I'm pretty sure it's a mix between 'hacker', the person cheating, and 'hacks, or hax', what they're using to cheat, "haxxor". Then they just started putting it on the end of everything. So instead of saying something 'rocks' it 'roxxors'. Pronounced rock-sors. It can be added to anything so long as it sounds right. eg. 'suxxor' in stead of sucks.

You could probably still use it if you don't play these games, it's easy to pick out the root words in them, but in doing so would probably label you as a 'gamer'.

'Teh' is common everywhere, not just online games.

You could modify it's use to work with any word so long as you can still pick out the root word. Therefore most words with the 'ck' or 'cks' sound will work. You can also just use the 'zor' ending on words, it doesn't even really matter how you spell it so long as it reads the same.

I just heard a grown-up using -xor-word today, at an office that had nothing to do with games: "taxxor filing"

It's just that season of the year (income tax filing, in the US), and I suspect that he is expecting returns（返金）. Good for him. （笑）
