Quitar Vs Rage Quit?

3.0BRAINROT SCORE

QUITAR— ORIGIN, MEANING & USAGE

quitar Brazilian Portuguese gaming slang meaning to leave an online match before it ends, often while losing; "o cara quitou" means the player dropped out. This is the gaming sense, borrowed from English "quit", and is unrelated to the ordinary Portuguese and Spanish verb "quitar" (to remove, to pay off).

Origin:The gaming sense is an adaptation of English "quit" with the Portuguese -ar ending; the ordinary dictionary verb "quitar" has a different, older origin and the Portuguese Wiktionary entry lists no gaming sense. Usage is visible in Brazilian player forums, for example complaints about opponents who quit a football-game match. No glossary with a dated first use was found.

Rage Quit Abruptly leaving a game (or, in its original broader sense, a chatroom or online argument) out of pure frustration or anger, rather than because the session actually ended.

First Seen:2000
Peak Era:Not established
