Good news everyone. I made up a new word. Esrbish. (Pronounced Ee-suhr-bish)

Why it’s a good word. ESRB rules are so weird and arbitrary, sometimes just asking a fellow designer or producer if something is a potential ESRB issue or snafu can take a lot of wasted verbiage.

Here is a sample conversation using the new word.

Producer: “Wow, when those zombies explode, copious amounts of blood fly everywhere. Can we tone that down.”

You: “Do you think that it’s ‘gross’ or just ‘esrbish’?”

Producer: “We’re already ‘M’, so mostly just gross.”

You: “Let’s poll QA.”
