IIRC (If I Remember Correctly) pwned originated in Warcraft 2. When you got trounced by the AI (artificial Intelligence) the console displayed something like "PlayerX got pwned" (look on your keyboard, right next to P). Players started to imitate the typo and the rest is gaming history.

pAtk, I'm guessing.
107's are top D Duals. Ive never heard 191's or anything like that for top C, so I think its just D's that are refered to in that way.

I said something nice to someone once and they said "awww U.U"

And i've seen it before,jus dunno what it is.
I really think thats like looking down.

55555555 means help I'm in trouble not crying.
T.T = crying




No.

"5" is pronounced as "wu" in Chinese, which is the same pronounciation as the word "cry" in Chinese. So 5555 means crying.

"9" is pronounced as "jiu" in Chinese, which is the same pronounciation as the word "help" in Chinese. So 9999 means help.

"8" is pronounced as "ba" in Chinese, which is a similar pronounciation as the word "bye" in Chinese. So 88 means bye bye.

"+" is pronounced as "jia" in Chinese, which means "give, add, etc." in Chinese. So +++ means "give me..., add ....". For example, "+++ HP" means add some hp to me which is asking for heal, "+++ buff" means give me some buff.

"=" is pronounced as "deng" in Chinese, which is the same pronounciation as the word "wait" in Chinese. So "==" means wait.

I said something nice to someone once and they said "awww U.U"

And i've seen it before,jus dunno what it is.



Its either a sad and/or sheepish look. And whoever said it before about it originating from Japanese Anime hit it on the head, you see it alot in anime chatrooms and such.
Didn't find U.U but here's a list of common *** smileys, it's pretty fun (and unfair as they have a lot cooler characters to play with):

Anyone knows what "nwm" means?
nm or nvm is nevermind, but nwm?

CP?

Heh that was the reason I started this thread, I didn't know what CP meant, and I forgot to post the question.



Combat Points, a new PvP feature added in C3. You'll have a set amount of cp (using 1k for examples sake) so that if say a dagger uses mb on you for 500, instead of losing 500 hp you lose 500 cp, now if he does mb again and this time hits for 600, youll lose 500 cp and 100hp. Monsters bypass CP and hit hp directly.

I remember reading a newspaper article about internet lingo and it reported that the term "woot" originated from the word "root" which was used by hackers for something like hacking into a system. Not quite sure as i had read it a while ago but I'm pretty sure it was something along those lines. Gonna try and find that article if I can.

That is correct. It is also why IT folks often refer to stupid problems solved like "user couldn't find the power button" or "user tried using the mouse like a remote control for a TV" as an I D ten T problem.

Also known as ID10T
EE = Elven Elder
PR2 = Party Recall 2

Didnt' find the artcle I was looking for but came across something better.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woot



I hadn't seen that before, but like the guy earlier posted, I heard it had something to do with the 'got root' unix crowd of the 80s, popularized at MIT by the savy nerds of yesterday who lead the technology revolution of today.

Also known as ID10T




Also commonly used in the US Military. We'd send new guys to personnell to ask for an ID10T form :)
And in the fleet we'd send them to the DC's to ask for bulkhead remover :) If you have any ship knowledge that one's pretty funny.
In the army we tell them to go to the first sergent and ask for a PrickE8, a box of grid squares and some kemlite batteries. ^^
Hilarious thread. I've seen one a couple times floating around that hasn't appeared on this list yet

U^_^U <--- dog with hanging ears? :)

.wey



Hilarious! You gotta love these...

(=^_^;=) a cat which has cold sweat
(=T.T=) a cat which is crying
(^0_0^) a pig opening his nose holes
IMHO is in my Humble, rather than Honest, opinion
Not sure, but isn't 5555 angre?

Ganked - Attacked and killed by a force that outnumbers or outlevels you easily.

Drunk - Full of a beverage that impairs your judgement causing you to see light blue when it was really deep red.



I have to agree very very funny.

IMHO - perhaps it is humble, though I myself and many others have used the H as honest, so we can say both.

Besides I don't think I have ever said in my humble opion in real life, but I have said in my honest opinion
You can't forget "go get some riser grease and canopy lights" often told to cherry (young) paratroopers :)
Then there is:

OMW - On My Way
RR - Right Right
KK - Ok Ok
ATM - At the moment
MO - Moment
Alt - Alternate
BTW - By The way
L - Loser

:p
DW = Death Whisper
PPP = poison

LOS : laugh out silently/softly
BLNT : better luck next time
HB: Hurry back
tyvm: thank you very much
wtg : way to go
1 = poisioned
2 = slept
3 = bleeding

"omg buff me please" = I got cancelled (normally the mages for some reason!)
i use the chem light batteries all the time, i still got a couple of pv and pfcs looking for them at the stores i wonder they arnt to succesful and why the s4 has way to much of a good time :P

"9" is pronounced as "jiu" in Chinese, which is the same pronounciation as the word "help" in Chinese. So 9999 means help.



It is also, I am told, nearly identical for their sound for "dog", depending on context. By using it, you might be calling for help, or might be proclaiming yourself a dog. <shrug> I don't speak Chinese, couldn't tell you, and Gaelic does not acronymn well for anyone who doesn't speak it. Though neither does any other language, come to that.

Anyway.... here's a couple no one listed yet or that I didn't see....

SwS = SwordSinger
SpS = SpellSinger *or* SpiritShot
SS = alternate for SpellSinger
SOH = Song of Hunter (SwS group buff)
SOW = Song of Wind (SwS group buff)
SOE = Song of Earth (SwS group buff) also Sony Online Entertainment (context)
OL = Overlord (refers to both the PC class and the multitude of mobs with this suffix... Orc, Leto, etc.)
FWIW = For What It's Worth
FFS = For *****'s Sake! (the phrase is more common in the British Isles and Canada than the US I think)


I'm not sure who created the CIHYS? acronymn, though I have used it myself a couple times. Heck, maybe I started it, I dinnae...
ITP
so i guess those are the numbers you guys use but when chinese do them its like this:

888888 = bye bye
999999 = help
555555 = crying
666666 = i love you
Some I usually say, even if I saw same before with another signification...

SoeS : Staff of evil Spirit (and in C3 they added Area of Evil Spirit Loot or something like that... Between Gludio and Neutral zone)
SpS : Spellsinger
BBSpS : Blessed B Spiritshot
BSS : B SoulShot
WC : WarCryer (and NOT water closet penth !! :D)
CoL : Chant of Life, kind of party heal for WC
UE : Ultimate Evasion
BSoE/BSoR : Blessed Scroll of Escape/Resurrection
RT*M : Read The [Censored] Manual

since there is a lot of new ppl getting one the game right now, i thought was a good idea to kick this topic up again ^^
ooops
Yeah I asked about this subject just yesterday and Sarge was nice enough to sticky it.

I am already in love with the Board Reps here. (came from MxO grumblegrumble).
One thing I have been seeing lately is AoE group needs xxxx?
AoE in area of effect (pole groups or nukers)
no idea what that xxx is there for.
GTG also can mean Good To Go, meaning you're ready to go into action
Ding, I used this way back in EQ for leveling up, as the sound they used in that game sounded like a Ding :)
Ghost Clan = A clan populated by alts of the same person or small number of people. A way to make your clan appear more popular than it actually is.
A few I use all the time

BTW - by the way

NFI - no further information i.e "Where do I find whats his name for quest X." Well...he is over near the old farm house to the South West of the Wastelands - NFI. Means like, don't call me with or ask me a bunch of questions about the topic later. I gave all the information I have. I am not holding anything back - you have all that I know.

ATT - at this time

ASAP - Dunno if it was said but had to be. As Soon As Possible.

UTM - Universal Transverse Mercator Map Coordinate System. In my clan we use the handy grid lines on the map to get locations for each other in the 6 digit format. Works great if you can teach the civilians in the clans to use it in by typing the instructions.

GRID - Ask for ones location, can be followed by a question mark for clarity but usually not needed.

BOHICA - Bend over here it comes again, Used when one is about to be screwed over, usually in a predictable and repetitive way. In l2 used to indicate an unavoidable situation i.e. having to fight through a room that sucks on your way to a good spot, or when about to encounter a known greif clan or party in a hunting spot - a general warning that trouble is on the way. A PKer, trainer etc.

HMFIC - Head mother [Censored] in charge - Clan leader

BF or Blue Falcon - Used to refer to someone (usually a freind) leaves you hanging or screws you over - (un) or intentionaly is not a factor. Used in L2 when someone forgets to heal, buff or stops thier job to run to save themselves etc.

Roger - yes

WILCO - ok, I will do as you have said/asked/explained

There are more but we have some a lot of military - x/former military so they work for us.

Just for the ones who posed thier questions about certain, hard to get military items; perhaps you cen help me locate the following:

A can of Squelch

A blank addapter for my 4.2 inch mortar

Shake that tree over there so I can see where we are on the map, if not help me look for the grid lines (however, this is old map so one might have to dig - lol)



"De Oppresso Liber"

Howll
i only knew two of those :eek:
Yes, many of those are not really L2 specific and do not seem to be "universally accepted" among the online gamers I know :eek:

I think we should more stick to acronyms/abbreviations people are likely to see in game.

3333 : Para for me and hopefully for SEs too




Heh this level 62 SE only heard that 2 days ago....gotta love it hehe

I always have the buffs list open anyhow and usually am casting purify before anyone starts to ask for it so hasn't been a problem though :)
It has always been "pz" for me. So if you party with me, and you get paralyzed, and I don't notice right away, shout "PZ!" Usually, as the previous poster, I will notice right away, as I know the animations of the mobs when they cast it, I will look at all buff bars as they cast.

But anyway, I have a question.
Does anyone know what people mean when they type "yyyyyyyyyyy" ? I can't even begin to guess what it means. (It's not "why" - that wouldn't fit into the context I've seen it in). I'll be really impressed if anyone knows.
FOTM?
Huh? Explain... :eek:

isnt nevermind - nvm? :confused:

nevermind, greetings
xD that list rox!

I heard w00t originated in Rogue Spear, like "we own other team"



Truth be told, woot was being said in UO, and in Quake 1. That term goes back even to a few MUDS that were played. Not really gonna find it's origin, kinda like trying to find out when and where exactly people started saying the.
hmm for those bulgarian players out there.

10x = Thanks or Thank You
Y = Yes
Mhm = I see or Okay
Eh = No or Maybe Later
"10x" has always annoyed the hell out of me... -tenex.. how's that thanks? I guess it makes sense in Bulgarian, but it sure as hell don't in any other language I know.
Sorry about the rant.. But that's an abbriviation that just really makes me cringe.
I'm use to it. I'm not bulgarian, but I have bulgarian players in my clan.
SPS - thanks in russian
NP - no problems
I often come across an acronym 'ftw'. Dunno what it means, anyone help me?
ftw = for the win
And the opposite; FTL = for the lose.
What does ETA stand for exactly?
The acronym people sometimes write when they edit a post. (Not Estimated Time Arrival).

What does ETA stand for exactly?
The acronym people sometimes write when they edit a post. (Not Estimated Time Arrival).



thats the exact acronymn for it, but people just use it to ask when something is coming. liek "whats the ETA on C5?" means when is C5 coming.

over the years tho, people have put things in front of the E to make it more ... organisational.

im thinking of PETA. it stands for Pet Estimated Time of Arrival. which as we all know means nothing.

;)
Yeah I know... I wanna know what people mean when they write it when they edit their post.

OP = Original Poster

OOP = yes, Out of Party :)

In the army we tell them to go to the first sergent and ask for a PrickE8, a box of grid squares and some kemlite batteries. ^^



I was searching for a BA1100nstring, I was new and in germany

ROFL. I wish I could remember what my brother told me they'd send people to look for on his ship when he was in the Navy.

I had a friends wife convinced she needed a metric tire guage for her Jetta.
Nice avatar :p

Recently I came across another of the many ways of saying thanks; 10q. I have to say it makes more sense than 10x - but not much. But annoys me far les than "10x".
What does FOTM mean????
Flavour Of The Month = the current powerful uber pwnerer class.
It could also mean Foaming of the Mouth. But that only applies when said FoTM gets rolled.

WILCO - ok, I will do as you have said/asked/explained




WILCO is radio-speak and short for "will comply." Usually heard following orders given via radio .... "Roger, WILCO, Out."

I can't believe I'm looking through these again. :p
umm..

SoDa: School of dark arts
SoL: Staff of life

It could also mean Foaming of the Mouth. But that only applies when said FoTM gets rolled.



Ha! Thats good :)

LOS : laugh out silently/softly
BLNT : better luck next time
HB: Hurry back
tyvm: thank you very much
wtg : way to go



LOS, can also mean Line of sight.

SoL: Staff of life


sol also means out of luck
XD - big smile! kthxbye XD
In "newer" L2 time, people (shop titles) have begun abbreviating blessed spiritshot to "BSS". I twitch every time I see this. Why can't people just keep the old "bsps" abbreviation? BSS already means B grade SS. It sounds like a really petty complaint, I know. But it really bugs me :eek: And I'd rather buy slightly more expensive bsps from a shop that advertises it as bsps and not BSS.

And I'd rather buy slightly more expensive bsps from a shop that advertises it as bsps and not BSS.



Ahh, I hate that too... :mad:

Another thing that annoys me is when they use the terminology with grades at the end, like "SSD" for soulshot D-grade or "BSpSC" for blessed spiritshot C-grade. I think I've been damaged by endless hours of tech studies, since I find beauty in uniformity and stringency... :eek:

I don't know what I've been damaged by, but I agree with you here.
What's LAWL?
LAWL = Laugh Out Loud.
its used by people that cant spell.


Ahh, I hate that too... :mad:

I'd better write 'WTS SSA' rather then 'WTS ***'. Sounds weird, especially when seller is DE female :o
Especially then, you should write "***" :)
At the end makes more sense since it avoids the confusions with BSpSB. :p But of course, everyone should stick to what is normal on their server - this is one thing that certainly varies.

Yes I did this once without thinking - as a BD female shouting in ally chat "I can't find *** anywhere anyone sell me some" caused some hillarity.

I'd call it B Bsps :)

When I was a young orc, everyone would put the grade first, so everything else seems wrong for me.

Maybe a + could be added at the end of the ones which can be confused with other things. + representing high level :)
what is grand khav... (step after tyrant) abbr?
GK, perhaps?

ES = Eva's Saint



Isn't it more like ESt? That's what I'd abbreviate it as, seeing as ES is already taken...
I just call them both "-_- elf" :)
All this new acronyms are killing my head most of them are repeated like ss and gk and sm why don't we keep the second class change names and put like something next to them refering to the 3rd class change like... SH3? for storm screamer? an idea maybe it's a bad one I don't know...


P.S. aaaw Maline you changed your avatar? I liked the orc one a little better it was a nice pic.
im sorry but after working so hard to get 3rd class change, i dont even respond to my friends who still call me a blade dancer.
i am a Spectral Dancer, dont go calling me a BD anymore ><

....even tho it is more work to say "Spectral Dancer" than "BD"
"SD" works :)
this is a sign that ppl are too lazy to type the whole word out..
lazy lazy lazy fat.....
Are you calling me fat? :mad:
no just lazy ..its the truth... this brings up the issue about automated stuff...
Oh, okay then. :)


I remember reading a newspaper article about internet lingo and it reported that the term "woot" originated from the word "root" which was used by hackers for something like hacking into a system. Not quite sure as i had read it a while ago but I'm pretty sure it was something along those lines. Gonna try and find that article if I can.



That is correct. It is also why IT folks often refer to stupid problems solved like "user couldn't find the power button" or "user tried using the mouse like a remote control for a TV" as an I D ten T problem.

Also known as ID10T



Im pretty sure the whole ID10T was around long before IT techs started using it, my uncle was fond of using it on his new soldiers telling them to go find and fill out the ID10T form for the platoon sgt- and that was back in Viet. war, which he said he got from some old soldier when HE first got in, and its still used in the army today.


WILCO - ok, I will do as you have said/asked/explained







WILCO is radio-speak and short for "will comply." Usually heard following orders given via radio .... "Roger, WILCO, Out."

I can't believe I'm looking through these again. :p



Note- dont say roger before Wilco.... :-) so many Army folks, do this but its wrong.. Check your manual if your army, its bad radio "etiquette" (sp?) Especially considering Roger is a form of saying "ok, affirmative, will-do" etc. etc. and Wilco is saying the same thing. Its like saying "Sahara Desert" means Desert Desert. Just say Sahara! lol
Isn't Roger Wilco the guy from the Space Quest series, some 15 years ago (those Sierra games in the late '80ies - early '90ies)?
MRT=Monster Race Track

I can't believe it has not been mentioned before :p
FI=Fantasy Island

omw = on my way
PL = party leader
MA = main assist (the guy you have to assist on a party)

"5" is pronounced as "wu" in Chinese, which is the same pronounciation as the word "cry" in Chinese. So 5555 means crying.


"5" is pronounced as "ah" in Thai language, so 555 (used a lot on Thai forums) would sounds as ah-ah-ah. So 5555 means also laughing.

also my favorite one:
111211112333222112233 followed by "return to village sign" which means: "Darn, was pressing again on number keys and not function keys" and died :D:D

QQ: Complaining repetitively
So what does "cp" mean?? I see this often in the clan recruitment section.
