Some new players may be confused about the lingo of experienced ULTRAKILLERS. Who is Maurice? What is an ULTRABOOST? Is Florp evil? Just what is a Pinos? Why is a man staring into my window at the crack of night every November 4th at exactly 11:30:55 PM to 12:00:00 AM? Why are Dasli simps telling me to go KMS? Why are we suddenly talking about the mobile game "The Battle Cats" in the ULTRAKILL fandom wiki? Why the hell is Loona from Helluva Boss so fucking hot? Why is everyone been turning gay for Gaybriel and a fucking Gopro? Why is Error404yourcomputershutdown crashing out because someone is editing captions? And why the fuck are the captions so cursed?

Well, fear not, sinner! Here is a helpful Codex of Community terms. As the ULTRAKILL community is relatively light-hearted, many of these will be humorous, so treat it as such. However, this is still to be informational, as per wiki guidelines! Remember that.
