Malcolm.

Made popular by games such as Quake.

BZZZT. Actually, frag means to kill your own soldiers, and it's a very unpleasant thing. Thanks for playing.

From: http://internetgames.about.com/games/internetgames/library/bl/glossary/bldef _frag.htm

Definition: In simple terms, a frag is a kill. The term originated in the Vietnam Conflict as a term for killing ones superior officer--something that apparently happened all too often. In the Internet gaming community frag refers to successfully killing one's opponent in a game.

Usage: "Man, you stink. I fragged you with the boomstick."

Uh, the term does come from the Vietnam War.

Saying "frag" comes from Doom is like saying "Nazi" comes from Castle Wolfenstien.
