Chat Log if you're old

[tgleaf]

So I've been thinking about writing this guide for a while, but it just seemed kinda cheesy. But anyway, here goes.

We old timers -- those of us over, say, 30 years of age -- can keep up with the young whippersnappers in Alty, but we don't always know what every last chat term means.

So I figured I'd write a translation for anyone who might need it (I realize most of you won't, so just ignore this).

Some of these took me a LONG time to figure out. I hate asking people for help with this stuff, so I just observe and use the terms until I know for sure what each one means.

CHAT TERMS

lol = Laugh out loud.
rofl = Rolling on the floor laughing.
jk = Jump kick. People use this to mean that something they did was spectacular. As in, "did you see that? I'm so pro! jk"
kk = (Typo). This is a common one... someone will mean to write "jk" (jump kick) and will accidentally write "kk."
pro = Pretty rad, obviously. When someone is really good at Altitude, other players will call them "pro," as in "You're pretty rad, obviously." If I have the R wrong (is it righteous or radical, or rockin'?), please let me know someone.
brb = Been really bored. You'll see this a lot, too. When people are bored of a game, they'll write this and then leave for a bit.
np = nice play. Like when someone makes a great pass or scores a goal, you can say "np." It's a compliment.
gj = Get Jazzed! (I might be wrong on this, so please correct me if that's the case.) This is used as a way to pump up your whole team, although I've seen players on the opposing team use it, so it kind of confuses me.
nt = Nice toss. When someone makes a great shot for a goal or a great bomb toss that hits the base, you can use "nt."
n1 = Need one. As in, "we need one more goal to win this."
gg = GameGuard. It took me a while to figure this one out, as people tend to write it when they've scored a goal or won a game (or even lost a game, strangely). But it's a reference to one of the best players in Altitude named GameGuard. People write "gg" when they feel they've played as well -- or nearly as well -- as GameGuard.
bg = Beagle. Same idea as "gg" but it references a different vet.
epic = Easy, play it cool. A way of saying that other players should calm down. Like saying "it's just a game."
wtf = Write the Feds. This is used to complain. As in, "that was messed up, I'll write the Feds."
stfu = Same thing, forever useless. A way to tell someone that their plane setup or style of play is not helping the team. People get really pissed off when they are told "stfu!"
QQ = Quit, quit. Aimed at weak or noob players. Telling them they should quit right away.
omg = Over my grandma. A nicer way of saying "Over my dead body." Useful when someone is trying to force you to change perks, or thinks they can get by you easily with the ball/bomb.
<3 = Less than three. Obviously! But what does it mean? Well, I'll tell you... it means that your team has less than three goals or bomb drops to win the game.
fml = Find my laser! A cry let out by miranda players who have inadvertently disabled mouse control.
nsfw = Never stop for water. Altitude is addictive. We all know that. And while bathroom breaks are a necessity, food and water are optional.
gtfo = Girlfriend that found out. Altitude is a mistress, oh yes; or Goal that forced overtime. Scoring a goal at 4-5 to make it 5-5. As many of my frequent readers know, I occasionally am unsure of the meaning of a term, so I will list possibilities until a time when I am certain which is correct.
ccn = Can't chat now.
afk = A fair kick. A way to explain why someone is about to get /votekicked from a server.
And there's "no u" which is short for "no understand, as in when someone says "over my grandma" (omg). You can reply "no u" or "epic," of course. Better still is "nvm" (not very manly). That's a pretty harsh thing to say, though. Might expect something like that from elixir.

Okay, those are all of the ones I know. Hope this was useful!

P.S. If anyone figures out what =) means, I'd be grateful. I keep thinking it has to do with an unbalanced team since the equal sign is halted by the parenthesis.

COMMUNITY SUGGESTED

afk = a fake knowledge. Someone who tries to imitate tgleaf's playstyle. For example, "This guy is so afk" means : This person is really playing like tgleaf. [Sunaku]
imo = i more overpowered [York]
=) is supposed to mean "use shield". Notice how the equals sign looks like it's being shielded by the paraenthesis? [Herodadotus]
g2g = 'got twice the game', i.e. you're twice as good as someone else. [silent skies]
g2g = 'got to google' [STACK]
XD means "cross, douchebags." Used when players will not leave their side of the map. [STACK]
brb lol: bathroom break, letting out logs [STACK]
DOH = Dumb Old Hardwalls, used when you fly into a wall/rock/etc... and crash. [iPlane]
CARP = Canned Airplane Rust Preventive. Now that I know what it is, I use it on my randa daily. [iPlane]
WTH = Way To Hustle. Often said as encouragement after you watched that lone plane afterburn straight into the whole enemy team right after grabbing the bomb. WTH <player>! [iPlane]
LAG - Lob Assisted by Gravity. Often used with WTH (still not sure why) when someone from the other team manages to bomb your base through your plane. WTH LAG! [iPlane]
def = Die Earthling Female! [Sean]

The reason it confuses you it's cause gj doesn't mean "Get Jazzed!", it means "Getting Jizzed!" as in "You're getting jizzed by the other team." or even by his teammates.

[drunkguava]

hahhhahahah.
Can we make a new subforum called "Tgleaf's weekly feature" where he writes things like this every week?

also, meh = metal erotic humping (e.g. what kuja and york do to each other in their freetime). Players say this when they are indifferent about something, like the sexual tension between kuja and york.

Yeah, seriously. carstairs=noob? What the **** is this?

[Herodadotus]

Tg, I think =) is supposed to mean "use shield". Notice how the equals sign looks like it's being shielded by the paraenthesis?

Thanks, Hero!

[Herodadotus]

By the way, what does g2g mean? I've seen it used, and I've unconsciously used it once or twice.

[silent skies]

g2g = 'got twice the game', i.e. you're twice as good as someone else.

Example "rofl pwnd u g2g"

[drunkguava]

Watch inception while you're drunk or high. There's a 90% chance you'll kill yourself.

[SPeciaL]

i think you're wrong...isn't nt= nice try? gg=good game? brb=be right back? or maybe i don't know what this topic is about...lol

And there's "no u" which is short for "no understand, as in when someone says "over my grandma" (omg). You can reply "no u" or "epic," of course. Better still is "nvm" (not very manly). That's a pretty harsh thing to say, though. Might expect something like that from elixir.

And SPeciaL: The answer is YES.
