-'d

From Homestar Runner Wiki

This article is about the Teen Girl Squad running gag. For accenting the ends of words, see -èd.

Strong Bad often creatively uses the "-ed" and "-'d" past tense verb endings with nouns to create a variety of action sounds. This shows up most often in Teen Girl Squad delivered by Arrow'd Guy, with such results as "arrowed", "MSG'd", "cerebellum'd", "late-360-shove-it-to-boneless...'d", "two'd", "step-mommed" and "good drawinged". Arrow'd Guy also shows up on the Homestar Runner web site's 404 (or file not found) page, delivering "404'd".

The use of "-'d" shows up in places other than with Arrow'd Guy, too, such as in TROGDOR! (the game), where Trogdor can die both by being "arrowed" and "sworded". Other occurrences include "floor tommed", "pom-pommed", and "twelve-sided died".
