A couple of amusing expressions used around Vancouver not sure anywhere else...

Popemobile = War Alter
Broken = used to describe a unit/hero/item that is considered greatly unbalanced
immune to warhammer = reference to a character or unit that is considered "broken". The best example I can think of is "The HE Swordmasters are immune to Warhammer".

Pissboy - the model in the rear rank that gets to stand alone when you add a character in that unit. You ALWAYS want to have him killed so you have neat and tidy ranks again
