The gbdev Discord server has built up a number of inside jokes.

:duck: 🦆️
Similar in some ways to :kappa:. Took on a double meaning once the Mega Duck system on chip was discovered to be a Game Boy with no boot ROM and a rearranged register ($FF00-$FF7F) map, with most of the same quirks.
:kappa:
Usually represents sarcasm. This may appear as the face of Twitch.tv web developer Josh DeSeno or as a male kappa (anthropomorphic sea turtle) from the game Scribblenauts.
:maxd:
Emoji representing a user having "ninja'd" someone else. Resembles :gun: 🔫️
:morphon:
Variant of :smirk: 😏️
:punapple:
A :pineapple: 🍍️ over user PinoBatch's avatar, used as a symbol of wordplay. Pino is an openly autistic staff member on that server, known for his love of puns.
Super Mario 83
Nickname introduced by Videogamer555 for the Sharp CPU core in the Game Boy system on chip, which is thought to be identical to the SM83 CPU core in a Sharp air conditioner microcontroller. Built up a bunch of lore about there being undocumented functionality to accelerate games.
