When you play Masquerade you have to exclaim: "Masquerade! Painted faces on parade. Masquerade!"

I so this, but with my nose plugged. It's gained a reputation as one of the more annoying things I've ever done. 

[GeoLib]

Every time I play festival. I start singing that part of "I wish..." from into the woods.

[Sidsel]

the +coins on actions are "monies" (both singular and plural)

"Festival gives me two monies"
"I'm going to play this pawn and choose one card and one monies"

Ah.

I call the coin you accumulate from non-treasure cards in a term 'paper money.'

We say "I have 3 'on the table' " about the money derived from actions.

[Warfreak2]

That suggests you might not be playing your Treasure cards onto the table, which is something a lot of new players seem to do; some don't bother to show their hand, and just say how much $ they have.

Whenever I play to with my brother he refers to chancellor as "ballsack chin".  Now I know that sounds crude, but look at chancellor's chin closely, then you decide.  He also refers to harem as "whores".

Where does this "buying power" thing come from?  The phrase was used in my first game of dominion, and I use it all the time. 

The only other non-standard phrase that I and my friends commonly use is that when playing Goons, it's pretty common to elongate the oo with a bit of the e sound.  "Gooooons!"

[ConMan]

I think it comes from trying to explain what "coins" actually are, especially when people make the assumption that the +$1 on, for example, a Market, means actually taking a Copper from the supply to play. Although we tend to use "Moneys", as in "I have 5 Moneys, I will buy a Duchy" (sometimes pronounced "dooky", sometimes "dutchy", sometimes "ducky").

Also, I always refer to the Steward by his given name, Stuart.

[Jacob marley]

When we cannot top deck our Alchemists, we call it "putting them to bed."

[Ace539]

We refer to junk dealer as drug dealer.  When we play pirate ship we say "argh! Matey ! Attack!" or "monies", the term village idiot is also used a lot  I like to dance around when playing wandering minstrel, and the best is when you get an effective poor house engine running I dance around shouting "rocking the poor house!"  We are very passionate and immature when we play..

[terminalCopper]

We say that we "push-start" a drawing card if we play a village before, e.g. "I push-start my Smithy with a Working Village"
(original german version: "die Schmiede mit dem Arbeiterdorf anschieben").

[Qvist]

We sometimes make fun of the cards names.
These only work in german, but i'll translate them nonetheless.

"Eisenhütte" (Ironworks) is "Eisenhüte" (Iron Hats).
"Komplott" (Scheme) is "Kompott" (Compote) or "Kompost" (Compost)
"Bauerndorf" (Farming Village) is "Bauerndoof" (Farming Stupid)

I recognize we are very childish...

When playing with my father, we always call "Gewölbe" (Vault) "Gewölle" (hairball)

A friend of mine misread the german card Bureaucrat (Bürokrat) as "Office worker" (Bürokraft). Since then I call this card like that.
Similar story goes for someone misreading Militia (Miliz) as "Melt/Spleen" (Milz). This ruined another card.
Also I like to call Farmland (Fruchtbares Land) as "Awful Land" (Furchtbares Land).
And when I play with younger people I call Altar (Altar) as "Dude" (Alter). ... Ok I admit, I like to call it that way whenever I play.

[jamespotter]

I have taken to calling coins gained from action cards "invisible money" to avoid confusion with new players. I find they find the fact that +$2 is not "take two copper or a silver" much easier to understand that way.

To continue this, we recently acquired Guilds. "Berater" (Advisor) is now "Brater" (a person frying something).
My friend also thinks that Baker resembles Candace from the show Phineas & Ferb and always calls her that...

[Teproc]

For money, we usually just say "I have X", but if we do refer to it we say "boursouf" which is an obscure slang term for money in French, so obscure that I have never heard it used outside of a Dominion context actually. Sometimes we also use "fric", another slang term, but a very common one (kind of an equivalent to "bucks" in English).

If you play Rats (which is already source for hilarity/awesomeness), you say "C'est les rats !" (It's the rats!) which is a verse from an old traditional French song, and also sounds like "scélérat" (rascal).
If you play Pirate Ship you're also supposed to say "Pirates !" which is a reference to a commercial for tabbouleh, of all things.

I won't delve into them but there also a few sex jokes to be had with Bandit Camp (Camp de Bandits in French) and taking Gold (works well if you know a girl named Laure).

Also I like to call Farmland (Fruchtbares Land) as "Awful Land" (Furchtbares Land).

Gah, furchtbar and fruchtbar, how I hate these words. They sound way too much alike for antonyms.

[Asper]

Yeah, they are arfwool.

[Asper]

Whenever somebody takes a coin token, we say "Ka-Ching!". We even started calling the tokens themselves ka-chings (though "I get two ka-chings" probably sounds pretty stupid in english)...

[mail-mi]

In my gaming group at lunch, we're usually very vocal about waht's in our hands, and when one of us complains of terminal collision, we usually say "Can we have a terminal collision, folks?"

[AdamH]

I usually say something like "My Mountebanks are BFFs" when this kind of thing happens. Apparently people find this amusing.
