It is generally agreeded upon that Phil Laak coined the term "felted."
Stacked means to lose your stack. Felted means you're "down to the felt."

Interesting. I see him making this claim here:

Felted. I coined this term. (Circa 2003). To felt a player is to stack them. Get all their chips and leave them with just the felt in front of them. I throw this in as it is has become a part of common poker vernacular and I am most proud of this contribution.

Maybe he reinvented this, or maybe he has timelines wrong, but searching on r.g.p I found an entry from Feb 2000 that uses it:

Same type of game with the same kind of
results. If I remember correctly Max got felted; Alan Bostick came in the game and left shortly after.
