Your Definition

"Mortons" or being "Mortons" refers to the act of being "salty" meaning to be raw, or acting like anything but a person with respect. The word mortons is taken directly from the brand "Morton Salt" salt that pictures a dark blue salt container with a little girl dressed in yellow with an umbrella. This particular brand was chosen most likely due to the fact that it might be the most recognizable brand of salt that most if not all people could identify. Instead of confusing the many definitions of acting "salty". Mortons refers specifically to when one is acting salty or has lost in the fighting game community. When someone is in fear of being mortons, it means that person is close to losing and looking embarrassed for it.

Origin of the phrase being used in this way could be traced to the street fighter community based in NY and the surrounding states.

The official Morton Salt product slogan is "when it rains it pours" which has also made its run through the fighting game community as the same meaning as the brand it represents.
