Definitions
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.
After his third death in two minutes the whole squad did an int check and he just said 'I do what I want.'

- l check72%
A call-out or prompt asking someone to acknowledge that they took a loss — either in an argument, a situation, a decision, or life in general. Dropping an L check on someone is a way of formally presenting evidence of their failure and requesting a receipt. It's confrontational but usually playful, delivered alongside screenshots, receipts, or simply a knowing look. The person being L checked is expected to admit the L or face escalating mockery. Not taking your L gracefully after an L check is itself an L.
- nerf check71%
A moment of communal assessment where players or fans pause to ask whether something has been or should be nerfed — often triggered by a character, mechanic, or item starting to dominate so hard that the discourse becomes unavoidable. A nerf check can be demanded by frustrated opponents ('this needs a nerf check immediately') or issued as a patch preview by developers signaling incoming balance adjustments. It's the gaming community's version of calling something into question.
- main check71%
The act of verifying or confirming who someone's main is — their top-used character in a game, their primary romantic interest, or their #1 stan target — usually to validate, challenge, or clown them about it. In gaming, a main check exposes whether you're truly committed or just cosplaying as a fan. In fandom spaces, it's a quick loyalty verification: who do you actually ride for? The main check is often playful but can get serious when people's claims don't match the receipts.
- aggy check71%
A social call-out asking someone to gauge or acknowledge their current level of aggression or irritability. Dropping an aggy check on someone is a way of saying 'you're coming in hot — are you aware of that?' It functions as a reality test in arguments, group chats, or anywhere tension is climbing. Sometimes asked with genuine concern, sometimes deployed as shade. Either way, it puts the aggressor on notice that the vibe has been clocked and their behavior is now officially on the record.
- noob check70%
A noob check is a test — sometimes deliberate, sometimes spontaneous — that reveals whether someone is a genuine beginner or just pretending not to know something. In gaming it might be an obvious trap a veteran would never fall into; in a fandom it's a basic lore question every true fan knows. Failing a noob check is embarrassing but instructive. Passing one you weren't expecting is a quiet flex. Either way, the noob check does not lie.
