I’m sure you’re all as sick of these “Gamer assaults family member for stopping games” stories as I am, but this one has a twist. Rather than using an actual weapon or engaging in fisticuffs, Zachary Moir of Orlando, FL chose to assault his mom… with a taco.

Reading through this story forwards and backwards, it seems taco doesn’t stand for anything, isn’t slang for something else, and isn’t a clever euphemism- he threw a fried tortilla with meat and cheese inside at his mom, guys. WOFL-TV of Orlando reports that Zachary Moir is in the Volusia County Jail after a domestic disturbance on Wednesday night. His mom apparently went upstairs trying to lure him downstairs for dinner, when she was forced to turn of his Xbox. In return, he decided to slap her arm and throw a taco in her face.

“He went ahead and hit me with the taco and I got taco all over my shirt and kitchen. I’ve threatened to call police before. But anyway this time, I thought he went too far so I called police and he’s in jail now.” reports Dena Moir, the assailant’s mom. She’s also refused to take his jailhouse calls in order to teach him a lesson.

If it were me, I would’ve done the same thing, but not because he assaulted me with a taco, but because he wasted a perfectly good taco. Punk bitch.
