<div class="IPBDescription">and the meaning of "<3" and "imho"</div> List of gammer's jargon:
brb = be right back
n1 = nice one (compliment)
ns = nice shot (compliment)
gj = good job (compliment)
gg = good game; like shaking everyone's hands at end of match
OMG = oh my frikin god; can be compliment or insult depending on context; omg is alternate
lol = laugh out loud; something funny, usu just something that makes you smile or laugh a little
rofl = something that make you fall out of the chair you were laughing so hard; use sparingly
r = are
u = you
ic = I see...; acknowledgement but not always understood
m8 = mate; same as friend, soldier, commrade
[add your own...]
Question: I know what the meaning of "imho" or "imo" but what does it stand for?
Question: "<3", I assume it is an emoticon, but wth does it mean?
PS: T_T is another wierd one, I think it's "rolls eyes" expression

Does anyone want to share some new jargon terms we haven't mentioned already?

Arrowed!
Use the tags (s) and (/s)... but instead of ( and )'s, use [ and ]'s...
the nerdiest and worst internet acronym ever invented..do not use it!
who the hell says 'to be honest' in real life..why would you need say it on the internet. (sorry, it makes be mad)
im[h]o = in my [humble] opinion
ftw = for the win
gh = good half
ffs = for f ucking sake
PS:
pwn = own = expression of "I just kicked you arse"

Hey I was thinking what are the different level of n00b?
Like newbie or n00b isn't really an insult unless it's to an expert.
So like in order of least worst to most worst. (#1 is least)
1.newbie
2.n00b
3.n00blet
4.n00bizor
5.n00bbat
<!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> ?
And you forgot "nub" in your tower of nubbness. It should at #2 right before noob and right after n00b
Yes, that's my actual contribution.
whoa! That's a fancy one. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
PS: notice me new signature quote (will keep for a week or so)
IE. This game is FUBAR!!!!!! BLEARGH!!!
PS: How many of you have listened to Monty Python's "Analysis of the Word fu.ck in the English Language"? Good stuff. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Ah at last, a perfect definition for what a "flame" in reference to forums means! Thank you camO.o, you are too kind.
I'm terribly sorry I left the invision powerboard's spell check off. Oops. Silly me.
~edit~
To get back on topic:
What does afk stand for? Everyone knows what it means, but how many know what the acronym is?
t.t
^ away from keyboard... <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
this hardly counts as "gammmmmmmmmming" slang. it's general internet shorthand, and there are FAR more accurate/comprehensive lists than this will ever be.
I fail to see how this really relates to NS. I see more NS-based abbreviations in NS (i.e, rr, tf, rt) than I do these silly internet chatroom ones.
and remember, an acronym is an abbreviation that can be said as a word (RADAR); an abbreviation is the shortening of a word into just the first letter of each word, or a shorter form, and etc. =P
and its stickied...
edit, oh yeah, afk = Away From Keyboard.
meh... Im too old to learn all this stuff...
