Exactly as the title states!
I'd love to hear y'alls favorite expressions that you'd love to see show up in the game. (No promises, but you never know)

@spIash_damageWhat is taco meant to be in an offensive way? I don't see an insult?
Edit: "Seriously?" I'd like to emote when an invincibility glitch user or spawn camper appears.
@ippig It can be used as an offensive reference. I can't elaborate here.
- @Iron_Guard8 OK, thanks. I googled it. Internet people are strange folk 🤔
@Aeternus_EA How about:
Good Luck
Have Fun
(We used to say both of those before every game in every lobby we ever played... miss that feeling of community/sportsmanship.)Rough Teams (Tough Teams, Bad Teams, etc... anything to express acknowledgement of unfair teams)
EDIT: If you don’t play BA, you don’t know there’s a screen before each match that shows the Plants’ team and Zombies’ team for a few seconds and emotes can be displayed then. I wish I could tell people at that screen, “Good luck and have fun.”
- @spIash_damage Preach it man.. all the negative junk in this game has me thinking, what happened in these dudes life that has then so sour at everything..
If they have to constant need to be like other games, focus on the positive and not the negative.
Seriously a poop 💩 emoji in this game. With the game focused on 80’s pop culture, can someone show me a poop emoji from the 80’s? Someone lost focus and derailed this train..
- @Iron_Guard8 & @ippig Unfortunately there are more than those three as well & with even worse urban meanings. I recently had some pointed out to me.
I'd rather get rid of anything other than straightforward social & strategic phrases, tbh 😖@ToastedSarnie I do want some silly ones (and posted a bunch), but not ones that can easily made into nasty sayings. Unfortunately the number of things that can be turned into nastiness when they were largely intended to be silly has increased in recent years.
I'm not happy I can't use 'chicken sighting' when I mean it in a goofy manner (or maybe we'll get chicken wrangler zombies someday), and people will assume I'm insulting them.
On PC you can't directly message people not on your friends list so you won't get some of the crazy nasty messages sent at you some people have shown elsewhere on consoles, but I did see some players targeting Zack Scott in his videos and one was using 'bye, bye bae" and others at him every time they vanquished him. This is why we can't have nice things.
- @Iron_Guard8 Yes, it's a sorry state to be in, that people twist darker meanings into words & phrases.
If you do know about those other things, though it can cause serious offence - the trouble is these are used as a way of disguising contempt or nastiness & you often have no way of knowing which way they're meant.
And if it's hard for those of who speak the same language, how much harder is it for those who don't? Many wouldn't understand the jokey phrase that was originally intended, let alone an alternate meaning.
So tricky!
