Zombie killing terminology
In a recent conversation I was asked what the best words to use to describe killing zeds were. I didn't have an answer. Putting down? Re-deadening? De-brainerizing? I'd be curious to see what terms people suggest.

Slaughterate. Gickify. Necrolize. Administer field expedient encephalectomy.
Really, any reasonably descriptive verb works well as long as it's paired with the the phrase "with extreme prejudice."

Re: Zombie killing terminology
I think I like re-deadening the best so far.
I would also like to throw in, corpesifying, braining ("Sorry I'm late, I had to brain a few zeds on the way"), and because I'm been watching too much Supernatural lately, "gank".

Re: Zombie killing terminology
To use one of terms that Tinderbox uses in one of his stories.... KT'd (Killed Twice) I always thought that was a good one... Maybe KA'd (Killed Again) Pronounced "kaaed"
I like acronyms they are short and can normally be said with ease.

Re: Zombie killing terminology
I always use the phrase
Creating Putrification and Liquescense.
It's from The X-Files.
But what's wrong with 'Making dead things deader' ?
KA'd [kay aayd] is good.
