Luchalma Lingo: He Clickin'

He Clickin'

An action a game enemy (esp. a boss) takes before attacking.

"He clickin', he clickin'! Move!!!"

----------

In the Monster Hunter series of video games, it's important to recognize and memorize your enemies' attack patterns. If you do not, you will die, quickly and often. An early enemy in Monster Hunter Tri, the weak ass Qurupeco, has a pretty obvious tell. He has flint-like parts on his wings...


 ...and he clicks them together, creating sparks. At this point, you yell "He clickin'!" and get the fuck out of the way. Ignore this warning and this happens.

 He fucks up your shit good.

Applied broadly, this is the little move any enemy does that broadcasts to the world "PEOPLE OF EARTH OR WHEREVER THE HELL THIS GAME TAKES PLACE, I AM GOING TO DO A PUNCH RIGHT NOW!! DO NOT ATTEMPT TO COUNTER ME PLEASE!" This of course is followed by a quick counter.

A real world example. Don't counter this guy though.
