Age of Empires II, first released in 1999, let players send short spoken taunts to allies and opponents during a match, and the French voice pack gave each taunt a localised line. Taunt 16 became a quick way to report an enemy spotted without typing a longer message, especially in fast multiplayer games where a few seconds mattered. As gameplay clips and strategy memes spread online, the short French warning was reused outside matches as a punchline for sudden discoveries, ambushes, and unwanted visitors. Its clear meaning, even for non-French speakers, has kept it useful for editors.
