Jumping Peppers

created by EliteGrunt

A general exclamation that conveys a feeling of surprise or alarm. It comes from the approximations of the translator to translate the language of the Orz in Star Control 2 & 3, of which it fails miserably. For instance, a common saying of the Orz might be:

*Jumping peppers*! The *sad animals* are *dancing* with the *happy campers*!

This supposedly means "Wow! Our allies are fighting with our enemies!". Also see Frumple.
