Grocery Store Bagger

Any attendee of E3 that does not work in the gaming industry and has no business being there.

Originated during a Street Fighter tournament at E3 when Kevin, the Capcom hype-builder and shirt-thrower, asked a participant what company he worked for. The attendee replied that he was a grocery store bagger.

Often used to derogatively refer to unwashed slobs in dirty t-shirts roaming the exhibit halls.

"Damn, I wanted to get a shirt at the Namco booth, but there were about a hundred grocery store baggers mobbing the place for freebies"

Package Five

Anything legitimately obtained for free that one would normally have to pay money for.

Not to be confused with the five finger discount.

Originated by attendees of E3, where the elusive "Package 5" is given out for free to "qualifying members of the gaming industry" through some arcane and secretive decision-making process by the E3 registration staff. Ordinary proles must pay several hundred dollars for the privilege of attending E3, but many apply for Package Five in the hopes that the gaming gods will smile upon them that day and grant them entrance without sacrificing their first-born.

"Hey, that's a nice phone. I got the same one for $150."
"You paid for it? I got a friend at a celphone company that got me a package five deal for it."
