Do you use defeated or died?

So most of us know that when our health drops to 0 we are defeated and teleported back to a safe place. However I know that alot of people use killed, died etc. instead of defeated (including me) and I was wondering what you guys use most often, defeated or dead.

I use "died."
As in, "oh no, I just died!"

I always say dead while on the game, but on the message boards I use defeated.

Both. When I'm just about to die, I say "I'm gonna die!" And when I do, I say "I just died". But when I'm referring to it at another time i say "I got defeated this one time by this boss".

depends on how I am saying it.

example
When someone else died
O no ___ just died

when I die
Ack I was defeated

but I usually mix it up

i don't know its up to the wizard. I sometimes use died AND defeated. Well its the wizard's opinion.

I tend to say died, but that would imply there's no coming back. Since we always come back for more, perhaps defeated is a more accurate term. When talking to my friends in a chat environment outside of W101's quite hefty chat filter, I tend to say that some fight beat the tar out of me lol (or some other colorful phrases)
