i heard some dudes lil brother didn't know how to pronounce "cheating"...and kept saying "cheasin"...and bam the phrase was born. .....figured I'd ask if anyone else knew of a story behind it. ..

I thought it was from street fighter when you would get a cheap victory and a wedge of cheese would show up in the corner of the screen.

I believe it originated with street fighter 2 and that kid who did nothing but jab hadokens and jab shorukens when you tried to jump over them.

Phrase has been around since the dawn of fighting games.

They just took "cheesy" and made it a verb.
