The words one must utter while playing Call of Duty Black Ops | when the Trey arch logo appears on screen indicating a player must patiently wait an undefined amount of time for the game to progress.
The phrase describes the look of the Trey arch logo as it cycles repeatedly in its modified toroidal circular pattern to indicate something VERY important is happening in the background. The logo gives a player a visual prompt to utter an audible update to other players in their party to ensure they are made aware of a delay in game play.
It’s customary for players in a COD party to repeat, "
Ball Ball Dick" over and over to ensure other party members can take appropriate action (e.g. crack open a beer, get more Cheetos, replace controller batteries, scratch one’s ass, etc.) The phrase is most effective in a sentence, "I'm being
Ball Ball Dicked right now. Hopefully I can rejoin your party soon!"
For
brevity, a TLA-version "
BBD" can be used to provide faster
conveyance of one’s status to other players and this approach is highly useful for out-of-band communication (e.g. text/SMS, Skype,
smoke signals, etc.) when Xbox Live chat services are unavailable.
While the phrase refers to the wait-time in COD |, it can also be liberally used to describe other situations when one must wait an unknown amount of time (i.e. DMV; Proctologist’s office; While waiting for someone to finish taking a shit).
