Yes please, tell us. I wanna hear all about getting "spored." It sounds very relaxing.

Paraphrased from urbandictionary:

Spored
intr.v. to spore, spored, spor-ing

To have your reputation shredded by [people] infuriated by your [poo] treatment of them.

ex. "I got spored" - said after buying one of EA game's heavy DRMed games.

Shal's Disclaimer: I am aware of the curiously paradoxical change between the example and the description, but that's urban dictionary for you. Bottom line, though, I do find it interesting that there is in fact a 'legitimate' verb that historically formed from this game's launch / release and associated controversies. It's not entirely unbelievable, either, when you consider things like 'zerging' as natural terminology in modern gaming. I'm not sure which I find more pleasantly surprising - that "spored" does actually correspond to something, or that this perked my interest enough that I was compelled to go research its origins.
