Yet Another Stupid Death (also Yet Another Annoying Death; Commonly abbreviated to YASD or YAAD) is used when a player has done something, usually avoidable, that leads to his or her demise. Common YASDs include:
- Hitting a floating eye in melee combat
- Attempting to engage melee combat with very low HP left
- Casting advanced Cone of cold/Fireball close to oneself
- Touching/eating/otherwise manipulating ( be cautios when killing something while blind) a cockatrice or its egg
- Drowning in water or lava
- genociding oneself
- Eating rotten food after recently praying
- Eating something you shouldn't eat (Medusa's corpse - "hey, there's a melon on the ground!")
- Zapping a Wand of Death (or some other powerful beam) at a wall and getting hit by the reflection
Some players distinguish YASD from YAAD, using YAAD for random, unavoidable events such as falling onto poison spikes (provided the pit wasn't already known, of course), and reserving YASD for pilot error. Amusingly enough, YASDs can happen to monsters as well.
