    The name "Leroy Jenkins" is apparently associated with anyone that rushes in and gets his whole team killed. How did this Leroy Jenkins thing get started?

    Question #71856. Asked by kaylofgorons. (Oct 28 06 4:58 PM)

    		Leroy(sp?) was a character on World Of Warcraft. His guild(clan) was setting up an elaborate plan to attack a room full of guys. Leroy was sitting down, then all of a sudden he popped up saying, "Let's Do This. Leeeeeeeroy Jenkins....." as he ran into the room full of monsters. After the clan talked amongst themselves they decided to go after Leroy, thus killing everyone invovled. It is now known, this was a staged event.

    		Ah...So that little clip WAS the start of it all. Apparently it's now doing rounds as a term for this behavior.

    Thanks. I was just wondering because I've seen the clip but didn't know if they were using the name from something else or starting it.
