A World of Warcraft player recently started a viral trend by coining the term “uppies” for resurrecting fallen players, and the term has caught on like wildfire. The trending word has added a playful, childlike twist to one of WoW’s most frequently used commands, turning the otherwise routine call for a “rezz” into a charming inside joke.
Instead of calling out “rezz inc” or “resurrection” when someone falls in battle, healer mains in both dungeons and raids are now saying, “Looks like somebody needs uppies!”, thanks to Reddit user Foot_of_Wolf. This small change has now created a chain reaction, with players across the game adopting the new phrase as a humorous and heartwarming part of their vocabulary.
The post that introduced “uppies” quickly inspired an outpouring of creativity in the WoW community, with players sharing their own funny names for common in-game actions, items, and abilities. While “uppies” was the phrase that sparked the thread, players jumped at the chance to reveal their own longstanding in-jokes and phrases, showcasing just how quirky and inventive WoW players can be.
