Teabagging

The move works because most shooters map crouch to a single toggle, so mashing the button makes the winning player bob over the corpse like a dunking teabag4. Killcams and respawn timers force the loser to sit through the taunt, which is the whole point. From Halo to Call of Duty to modern battle royales, the gesture became shorthand for 'I owned you,' with no in-game reward beyond the psychic damage.

The word itself points to the sex act of dipping the scrotum into a partner's mouth, borrowed by players in the early 2000s as a joke about what the on-screen crouching looks like3. Most studios treat it as emergent player behavior rather than punishable griefing, which is why the argument over whether it counts as harassment has run for two decades without a settled answer.

The typical execution: kill an opponent in an online shooter, walk over their body, then rapidly tap the crouch button so your character bobs up and down over the corpse until they respawn. Killcams, spectator mode and death cams do the rest by forcing the loser to watch. It's common convention to reserve the move for particularly satisfying kills or personal rivalries rather than every downed enemy.
