Gibs
From TF2 Wiki
|
Gibs or "giblets" are the bits and pieces of a players' body that are left after the player has been blown up by an explosive, such as rockets (from a Soldier's Rocket launcher or an Engineer's Level 3 Sentry gun) or a Demoman's' Grenades or Sticky bombs. To lighten the mood after you are gibbed, the game will point out any body parts that remain on the screen following your death.
Giblets include the torso, hands, heads, feet, arms, legs, liver, appendix, pancreas and other assorted organs, as well as various accessories such as eyeglasses, helmets, gas tanks and bullet shells (Note- See below for list by class). In Party Mode, gibs are replaced by humorous, censor-appropriate objects such as balloons and unicycles. The term also encapsulates debris left behind by destroyed buildings, broken sappers and the fallout from the explosion upon a BLU victory on Goldrush stage 3.
The term 'gib' can also be used as a verb, e.g. 'gibbing' someone, meaning reducing an enemy to gibs by blowing them up with a rocket or grenade. Many people pronounce "gib" with a hard "g" sound, but any dictionary will confirm that "giblet" is pronounced with a soft "g" sound.
Players can gib on command by entering explode into the console (similar to suiciding by entering kill).
