em ro fllim rom no
"what in the holy power of thirty eight korean hells does this crazy shit mean anyways?" - jacob.
Good question! One I've ran into before. So a brief explanation of the origin of the phrase 'em ro fllik rom no' which I have liberally splattered around here and there in various places over the years.
It all started with Jedi Knight 2. I could never decide on who the hell to use as a character because most of them sucked but I was dicking around as a swamp trooper one day and I happened to use the taunt feature.
"One more kill for me"
At that point in the history of jedi knight 2, shortly before the career of Grip began, that is really all anyone in the game ever was. Just another kill.
Later, I was dicking around with using the phrase for various things. I had it open in a sound editor and was messing around with it to see what kind of craziness could occur. I reversed it on a whim after some random modifications and it spawned something along the lines of "ate the flesh don't know."
That was mildly retarded, but it gave me an idea. I wrote out in text the entire phrase backwards, resulting in "em rof llik erom eno" and it looked kind of interesting, but I decided it had to be mixed up a little. So I moved the location of the F and dropped the second two E's, which resulted in "em ro fllik rom no" which looked a fair bit better to my sleepless mind.
It has no particular meaning except as a mildly abstract way to reference the countless slaughters that occured shortly thereafter, when I had embraced the concept of Grip in full form and became a living nightmare to the jedi knight 2 community.
