Pub Stomping

When a group of three or more players join, or create, (a Warcraft 3) public game and destroy all the scrub players who join.

Player 1: Hey Rob and Steve, you up for some pub stomping?

Players 2 and 3: heck yeah bro, let's go rape some DotA

_________________________________________________


the 'DotA' = daughter

and the 'rape' reference that ppl sometimes use in game is really in bad taste... so if you're a member of HH and use that term, please quit. have a friend of yours raped and murdered, along with their husband murdered and you're not going to like that term either.

The Pub Stomping came up in a discussion about Bad Company 2, that sometimes it feels like the other team dominates.
