Quote by SkinsDP537:
If it became a word for an easy game, then how is the definition completely wrong. I didnt add the origin, I know and for that I am sorry. But I also didnt say it was a word I made up either.
I am going to get it removed as soon as it posts. The thing is, since my time here it has been used in the place of an easy game. How am I to know a definition Melissa coined before me? As to why hers wasnt approved or posted I dont know. I guess she just needs to keep trying.
I thought I was doing something good...
I never said it was completely wrong. I said it was misstated.
I said it doesn't make sense because it doesn't... because anyone who is not from the site wouldn't understand why the word waffle means an easy game. I told you why it ended up meaning what everyone here uses it for. Then people can understad WHY it means an easy game.
I'm a point waffle. I am an achievement whore. I am not an easy game.

Yeah I remember Melissa has said on more than one occasion in the Grinds My Gears thread, version 1.0 may it R.I.P., that it grinds her gears that her word is so greatly mis-used.
I can see how it got to be mis used, it started as a substitute for the word whore. We are all Gamerscore whores, so we are all GS Wafflers, easy games are the easiest of all whore games, so they, in turn, became waffles themselves. And it just stuck from there.
I also was not here back at the time this phrase was coined. But I like how it is used.
@Skins, maybe just modify it to include the origin of the word and give credit to Melissa, either as MelissaEvol, LadyEVOL, or PSORaine. Whichever she prefers. Also try to include XBA, even if it is just those 3 letters, (X-B-A). At least all of us would understand that XBA is our "home"

Yeah! Skins, there is no need to get defensive, I was just explaining it. You said that you didn't know how the term was coined, so I explained. That is how people find out what happened before they were here.
A bulk of the frequent posters now were not members when the term was used that way. Black Magic has the link and Pure Evil is exactly correct. I know the thought was well meant, but I think a definition should be the root of the word. You just used a different connotation.

Waffle-
1. A word used to describe an easy game to play for achievements on the Xbox 360.
i.e. " I bought a new waffle to max out tonight." or "Can I borrow this waffle to get all the achievements?"
2. An endearing term to replace the word whore in regards to Xbox 360 and in general.
i.e. " That chick is such a waffle, she adds all my friends from Xbox" or " I'm an achievement Waffle"

I think Meta has the most detailed defintion of it.
Quote by Meta:
Originally, "waffle" was used to replace the word "whore."
This was due to the popularity of the terms "scorewhore" and "Achievement whore," as in people that compromise their usual gaming 'standards' and play games they normally wouldn't just to get Gamerscore & Achievements.
After that definition of waffle stuck, it started to get used a little more broadly. A "waffle" as a noun on its own came to mean a game that may not be very good but had quick and/or easy Achievements/Gamerscore. We likened this to eating a waffle, which is quick to fix and tasty to eat but ultimately not very substantial or healthy.
Then came the verb form--"to waffle" meant to play a game expressly for the Gamerscore and/or Achievements. This can be conjugated out to whatever time and tense are needed: I waffle, you waffle, he/she/it waffles, I waffled, they are waffling, he/she/it will waffle.
Lastly, it can used colloquially to describe the effort required or difficulty in attaining Gamerscore and/or Achievements from a certain games. In this form, it is often a portmanteau: "Yeah man, Assassin's Creed 2 had some serious wafflitude," or "So how is the wafflage in that new Disney game?"
Game reviews may include a section describing a title's "waffle factor", which compares it to other "waffles" in terms of how long Achievements take, how much effort the Gamerscore requires, etc.
You guys should definitely get together with Melissa to make a concise, standardized definition for 'waffle' so we can all start spamming urbandictionary with it!
