self-kill
Take own life
Self-kill means to end one's own life—a blunt compound used in contexts where clinical terms like suicide feel too detached or euphemistic.
In gaming, it refers to intentionally causing your own character's death, often as a tactical reset: I'll self-kill and respawn closer to the objective.
The gaming sense has bled into casual speech about any deliberate self-sabotage.
