that is where the term "smacktard" came from.
it was true in September 2002 and it's still true today.

i think the term is ok in BF1942 and also when ever some
one cuts me off in traffic.

I like how the guy in that article first bashes smacktards camping for planes, but then on the next page tells people that you should hang back with the tanks and use them as artillery.

Thanks, as for jingletards, if I remember from a converstion on TS on night, that refers to the influx of school kids we get playing at night over chrismas vacation because the don't have school the next day. Not to stereo type, but a lot of young kids just do a lot of smacktard type things....however I can't remember who coined the word "jingletard"

Isn't jingletard more used to describe the influx of newbies around xmas time when people get the game as a gift? That's the impression I had.
