* The cheese is now. That is all. Said by Jacob Sach (Jsach3) during the Superfans primetime special.[[/labelnote]]

* El Cheapo [[labelnote:Explanation]]Funny nickname used to describe choices on Money Game that start with "0" (such as "04"), which are so uncommon that [[CaptainObviousReveal they almost always signify what the last two numbers of the price of a car are]], which started in the Bob Barker era when a contestant exclaimed these words and won the car by choosing said numbers.[[/labelnote]]

** "Wipeout"[[labelnote:Explanation]]For a game in which -- where getting at least one pricing question right is required to play the payoff portion of the game -- none of the questions were answered correctly. (For instance, getting all four questions wrong on games like Master Key, Rat Race, Shell Game, Bonus Game, etc.) Or, if a pricing game is lost on the first decision (such as Lucky Seven where the first number chosen costs the player all seven dollars.)[[/labelnote]]

** "Exacta"[[labelnote:Explanation]]For a perfectly played game (For example, in Switcheroo, getting all five prices correct on the first try) or a perfect showcase bid.[[/labelnote]]

** "Tech Win" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Short for "Technical Win". This describes situations where the staff screws up during a pricing game, resulting in a contestant winning its prize(s) by default.[[/labelnote]]

(For instance, getting all four questions wrong on games like Master Key, Rat Race, Shell Game, Bonus Game, etc.) Or, a very poorly playing of Lucky Seven (where the first number chosen costs the player all seven dollars.)[[/labelnote]]

** "$420, Bob/Drew!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Some contestants [[NeverHeardThatOneBefore think it's funny]] to repeatedly make this bid. It's slang for marijuana usage. It was made popular as a bid by a contestant who decided to bid that amount for the entire show. Other similar-minded bids include various numbers containing "69" (Get it? Like the sex pose? Geddit?), as well as outrageous bids like ''$2,000,000.''[[/labelnote]]

* "Telephone pole screamers". [[labelnote:Explanation]]Drew Carey chewed out the FanDumb on his personal blog in June 2009, and for at least the rest of that Summer, the sane fans used this term from the blog entry.[[/labelnote]]

** "Can't Stop The Dob/Fool The Fingers", which declines to "Dobstopper/Fingerstopper" when a contestant is GenreSavvy (or lucky) enough to beat Roger Dobkowitz's or Kathy Greco's NintendoHard setups. Also applies in hindsight to "Can't Jive The Jay", for original producer Jay Wolpert's own hard setups (most notably, as seen on the DVD set, a 1975 Oldsmobile Delta 88 convertible costing $7,010 that was used in Lucky Seven).

* Top winners always pick the car/runner-up always gets the trips. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Contestants who have won the most cash value from their prizes who go to the Showcase get the advantage of whether or not to bid or pass on the first Showcase. This usually leads to them seeking out the Showcase with the vehicle, while the other Showcase generally offers a vacationer's trip, which gets passed up by the top winner and saddled to the runner-up.[[/labelnote]]

** "First Four Breakfast Club/Midday Revue" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Any First Four contestants (the first four called down at the top of the show) who are still in Contestant's Row following the sixth One-Bid; [[TheDrewCareyShow Mimi Bobeck]] got her own wing when Drew became host).[[/labelnote]]

** "El Skunko"[[labelnote:Explanation]]For shows in which all six pricing games were lost outright, including one or more games that were played particularly poorly.[[/labelnote]]

* Top winners always pick the car.

* Bob Barker's tendency to tease and troll contestants with the reveal of a price in a game by appearing to uncover it... then back away... do it again... back away, and then finally reveal the price just as a contestant is about to explode from the suspense.

* "Once it's stopped, we can't start it again for 37 hours." [[labelnote:Explanation]]In his later years, Bob Barker made this joke every time he explained the rules of Range Game, to emphasize that the contestants can only stop the range finder once. Drew Carey attempted this joke on his first playing, but butchered it; to be fair, this had become a DiscreditedMeme by this point anyway.[[/labelnote]]

** "$X+1, Bob/Drew!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Conversely, if they thought all three had underbid, they would bid $1 above the highest bid. If two players had, they'd bid $1 above the next-highest. Players absolutely hated being hit with this. Consider it [[VideogameCrueltyPotential game show cruelty potential.[[/labelnote]]

* Ezekiel Barker. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Explanation:After Drew referred to Barker's Bargain Bar as being named for "Ezekiel Barker", many fans began referring to Bob Barker as Ezekiel. Shortly after the retirement of Barker's Bargain Bar and Make Your Mark, a few Golden Road.net users began making a RealPersonFic that showed the "history" of the Barker family.[[/labelnote]]
