    Probably said but;

    r - are
    ul - unlucky
    rofl - rolls on floor laughing (or just haha)
    lmao - laugh my a** off (or just haha)
    imo - in my opinion
    imho - in my honest opinion
    m8 - mate(friend, pal, buddy)
    u - you
    LOL - lots of laughing (or just haha)
    btw - by the way
    -eh - usualy at the end of words that end in "y" but some people use -eh to make it look cute(<!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->) eg. fatteh
    taht, teh, tehre - used by people who type too fast [ie: me] which means that, the and there
    ppl - people
    [some stupid symbols sorrounding an obscure word] - used before player aliases to show that the person is in a clan, and don't EVER call them by their clan name. I know what being called viagra is like.

    And Firestorm, I haven't seen you in roobs in ages.

    Like many people said egg, they may stand for different things, but they mean the same thing.

    Time for the A, B, Cs.. ;P

    AA - Advanced armoury. Needed to get HMGs + GLs, as well as build a protolab.
    BB - Bile bomb. Dig the F4ing marines. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
    CC - Command chair. But CC is also an abbreviation for a hive in ns_eclipse, so pay attention to how it's used.

    PHASE PHASE PHASE - Please stop humping the armoury and use the phasegate before I rip my hair out and fatally gag you with it.
    stay in base please - For some reason, people have a hard time understanding this one. It means stay still in the nearby area, rather then running off alone and losing 50 resources worth of swag.
    go to wp - Rather then chasing after that lerk or asking for a "shot gun" for fifteen minutes, please go to that nice little blue circle so we can actually attempt to win the game.

    i cant find <span style='color:red'> inc</span> anywhere

    i think new players really have no clue what inc means
    incoming od either a marine(-group) or alien(-group)
  • TrilagTrilag Join Date: 2003-10-31 Member: 22156Members, Constellation
    I concur on the importance of INC (incoming - "inc pwnos near ms").

    WP is also missing (waypoint - as in "WP ALLLLLLLLL").

    And it still is not stickied!!

    btw, I agree that SG is shotgun, not sentry gun. A turret is a turret, not an SG. (Possibly a turrent though.)


    "OT/OC offensive chambers/towers" is listed twice, as is "comm/com", but other than that, I think it is almost perfect.

    Possibly an acronym for hand nade? Hnade just looks silly. Still, those who use team chat tend to have fast typing speeds, and those who don't use voice talk... Then of course, there are the boring ppl who dont say anything at all. <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif' /><!--endemo-->
