- Description
-
"Booted" describes being forcibly disconnected or removed from an online game, usually by a server, host, or technical failure. It is strongly associated with gaming chat and complaint posts, where the passive form makes the player sound like the unwilling victim of the system. The word often carries annoyance because the interruption can erase progress, interrupt a match, or prevent someone from returning to the menu. In phrases such as “get booted,” it is casual, immediately understandable, and more vivid than simply saying that the connection ended.
- Example
-
— Why did you leave the squad? — I didn’t leave; I got booted by the server. — Even the server rage-quit on you?
A microscopic loading-screen hiccup booted the squad right before the team’s heroic last stand, leaving four avatars bravely defending an empty lobby.
the game is GREAT when it works. I've had several cases where i just get booted randomly from the game and can't get back to the main menu. No idea if my progress saves or not.
