in my freshman year of college I lived in a suite of 6 people and pretty much all the time someone was playing Smash (it was really fucking annoying trying to sleep when someone would yell at the screen at like 5am). I had brought my bannerbombed Wii so one of my suitemates got Project M set up on it.
One of my suitemates who was much less invested in gaming than the rest would frequently come back from drinking and apparently be at the Ballmer peak for fighting games and do way better than expected. One time he said "stop hamstering me!" which initially confused everyone but it turned out he had heard "edge-hog" as "hedgehog" but then forgotten what cute little animal it was. So from then on "hamstering" was our new term for that
