Every group has them - a bunch of jokes and terms that we use to talk about cards, factions and strategies in our games. Every Thief in every game is called a Garret in mine (after the main character of the Thief series), every Assassin is an Ezio, and any mention of shadow is followed by this clip from an awesome movie called The Gamers. So what are your A:N-specific slang terms and injokes? I have a few, despite only playing for a week or so:
Anyone else?
And where does the newborn go from here? The net is vast & infinite.

Private Security Force "Knocks On Your Door" in our group. Similarly, Scorched Earth simply "Blows Up Your Apartment."
The Fetal AI has quickly gained the title "Evil Baby".
Whenever I start a run against face down ICE and hit something really nasty, or sometimes even just an unexpected end the run that I can't break, I face planted. (I do this a lot)
Scorched earth is nuking from orbit (it's the only way to be sure)
That last run when the corp has 5 agenda points and an advanced agenda on board is a hail mary.
project junebug/ snare! are "Surpirse!"
and of course there's all the old jargon I haven't replaced yet like data forts.

I'm so bad for saying actions/bits/nodes. I have at least managed not to call a Sure Gamble a Score! or a Hedge Fund an Accounts Receivable. I dunno if I'll be able to hold off calling Kati, Broker.
"What I like best about you, Neal, is that you trust me."
Whenever my opponent accesses Snare! I say "It's a Trap!" in my best Admiral Ackbar impression.

Tonight we were teaching a new guy to play. I call credits "bits" out of habit from the old 90s CCG. To avoid confusion, the new guy immediately dubbed them "rupees" - and it stuck =)

Same
We've been known to break out an Archer imitation of "Dangah Zone" upon hitting an Archer, especially when we know that it will hurt.

Hah, for our group it's, "The spice must flow." Not sure who gets the reference any more. Dune is one of those books that's really hit or miss with references.
Minority Report for sure, haha.
I also have a habit of saying, "I don't feel like face-checking Archer." Everyone knows what I mean, but no one else ever says it, haha.
It's like hitting out of a phone booth!!!
REEEEEEEJECTEEEEEEEEEEEEED!!!!!!!!

Yeah, a lot of us call them bits too. I've also occasionally heard "buck". Action and click are also interchangeable terms.

My FLGS's Netrunner playgroup overlaps entirely with our L5R playgroup, so it's not uncommon to occasionally hear credits referred to as either 'gold' or 'koku.' Outside of that, we're still a pretty new group, so we don't have a lot of in-jokes yet!
Our playgroup has a ton of inside slang.
Whenever peeling off top deck as the Runner we announce "Snare" regardless of what card we see. Even if we know the other player isn't playing "Snare"
Scorched Earth is known as "burn your house down" (One of our players lost his home to a fire years back, he's totally fine, but we reflect via card)
Fetal AI is considered the "Ultimate Trap"
Diesel when played is aggressivley spoken as "DIESEL!!!"
When using Melange Mining Corp we refer to it as simply "the Spice"
Hemdall is known as "Viking"
Sneakdoor when activated is referred to as "Going in the Back Door."
Credits can be referred to as bits, creds, cheddar, gold, bones, chingles, chingleberries, etc.
Nesei I personally referred to as the 'crackheads"
Archer is considered "ah fuck"
Scorched Earth - "Dropping someone's house on them".
Using Personal Touch - "Touching up", obviously usually with more than slightly sleazy connotations. An icebreaker which is upgraded with is referred to as "touched up x".
Personal Security Force - "Legbreakers"
Using Malange Mining Corp - "Printing Money", usually followed by questions on why the corp doesn't spend its time doing this, rather than trying to kill random private citizens (ie, the runners).
After introducing a friend to the game, he referred to sacrificial construct as 'plugging your toaster in' ![]()
