Definitions
A quick poll thrown out in a multiplayer game lobby — usually typed in chat — asking whether the team is collectively ready to surrender and end the match early. The ff check is the democratic last resort before a team finally accepts the game is cooked. Whoever calls it is either the realist who's been watching the scoreboard or the person who died three times in a row and needs the mercy kill. Either way, the ff check separates the fighters from the people who've already mentally logged off.
Down 30 points with two minutes left, someone dropped an ff check in the chat.

Semantically related
- FF75%
"Forfeit." Typed to vote for an early surrender when the match is clearly unwinnable. "FF at 15" is a recurring plea in League of Legends. The vote often fails because one teammate refuses to give up — and is then blamed for the next 20 minutes of misery.
- gg check72%
A GG check is the moment after a match, argument, or competition ends when everyone silently or openly assesses whether the outcome actually deserves a good game callout — or if someone needs to sit with a bad loss in silence. Throwing out a GG when the other side played dirty, ran cheap tactics, or stomped you so badly sportsmanship feels impossible is exactly what a GG check is trying to prevent. It's a brief moment of internal (or public) audit: did this actually deserve mutual respect? Sometimes the answer is yes. Sometimes it very much is not.
- int check70%
A call-out or self-assessment determining whether someone is playing intentionally badly in a game — deliberately dying, feeding kills, or throwing objectives on purpose. Dropping an int check on a teammate is equal parts accusation and interrogation: are you actually this bad or is something deliberate happening here? The check invites either a confession, a defensive explanation, or a meltdown in chat. A staple of competitive gaming communication, it has migrated into everyday discourse to question whether someone's terrible decision-making is wilful or just genuinely catastrophic.
- ff mode69%
The mental state someone enters when they've completely given up on a situation — not just in a game but in life, a conversation, a project, or a relationship. FF mode isn't sudden; it's a slow, inevitable slide where a person stops trying to turn things around and just starts calculating the most graceful exit. You can tell someone is in FF mode when they start giving one-word answers, stop defending themselves, or simply check out mid-conversation. It's acceptance without peace — surrender without serenity.
- flash check69%
A rapid, in-the-moment gut assessment of a situation, person, or plan — the instinctive read you take before deciding to commit, proceed, or bail. A flash check happens in seconds and relies on vibe, context, and instinct rather than deliberate analysis. In gaming culture it can refer to a quick scan of the map or opponent before making a move. In everyday slang it describes that lightning-fast internal verdict you trust when logic hasn't caught up yet. If it passes the flash check, you're in.
