Age of Empires 2 was released in 1999, and its numbered taunt system let players type a number in chat to play a short voice line for everyone in the match. Taunt 24 was dadgum in English, and the French localisation rendered that mild curse as bon sang. Players quickly learned the numbers by heart and spammed favourites during rushed attacks, failed defences and friendly arguments over resources. The lines survived re-releases including The Conquerors and Definitive Edition, keeping the French 24 familiar to new multiplayer lobbies and stream audiences.
About this sound
French Age of Empires 2 taunt 24, a brief male voice shouting bon sang, the dadgum line players spam in multiplayer to show frustration or surprise.
This is the French recording of taunt 24 from Age of Empires 2, a one second burst where a male voice snaps bon sang with sharp, exasperated emphasis. It is the French equivalent of the English dadgum line, so the tone is annoyed rather than truly angry, like a commander who just lost units to a bad fight. The delivery is loud, clipped and instantly readable even for listeners who do not speak French, which makes the frustration feel comic instead of serious and gives any scene an immediate reaction beat.
