A couple years ago my non-gamer girlfriend came home from work and asked if I had ever seen the Leroy Jenkins video since I used to play WoW. I was like, "yes, yes I know about that video." She thought it was hilarious even though she had no idea what it meant.
There’s an app called Active911 used by first responders like EMS and firemen to receive dispatch pages in lieu of a physical digital pager, and as far back as I can remember one of the selectable alert tones alongside various beep patterns, horns, and klaxons, was a recording of Leeroy Jenkins’ famous yell lmao
My wife loved it too even though she didn't play MMOs, but she had a basic understanding from hearing me talk about them.
She couldn't get enough of the DKP minus video from around the same time, although I did have to explain DKP because none of my groups used it.
