Blut und Donner comes from the world of World of Warcraft, where orcs are known for loud, guttural war cries before battle. The phrase, German for blood and thunder, echoes the spirit of the classic orc chant Lok'tar ogar and is shared by players as a short hype sound for raid and PvP content. Because it is instantly recognisable to Warcraft fans and lasts only a few seconds, it has stayed popular in gaming edits, streams and memes long after its first in-game use.
