n1 C!!!!

|337

:)

Some informations are uncomplete:

hpb/lpb - (3) high/low ping bastard

It says it all ;]

hmm, how about
pos - peice of shit
and
sob - son of a bitch

i'm glad i don't know those, i've probably smiled my way through conversations with really insulting l33t0rs.

8 can represent a capital B and 9 sometimes represents g...

How to speak like a r374RD! :)
nice..

|2374|2|)

wibble - statement of surprise/scorn/anger/laughter - all purpose!

hmm, could you use wibble in a sentence?

When my girlfriend dances, her tight little "unf unf unf" ass wibbles.

"Gah, wibble!" is my favourite.....sort of an all purpose bind that I can use anywhen and anywhere without offending....

man all the time i've known you and I just though you where crazy...

didn't realise there was a meaning behind your rantings

;o)

It's good to wibble, you oughta try it m8. Interesting description of someone's girlfriend's bottom movements earlier....

J00'R3 4LL F499075 ! :P

:)))

w0t, w00t - what


w00t = is allso a celebratory comment

used in the same context as "woohoo"

Yeah, but the normal 'what' can be used like that too, can't it?

I'd specify that. I always use w00t as woohoo and wha as what?

i've never heard anyone use w0t/w00t as meaning "what"...

it's allways been w00t meaning woohoo....

the number 6 is also used as the letter "g", for instance in "war6asm"

Oh you forgot, pr0n, that means, ehm, nevermind

Should I add this?

It's used fairly often. But you best add LOL and ROFL though.

LOL... Oooops!!!!

pwned!!!

Yes, I was wondering how you could forget them :)
Might as well throw in WP as well (well played) and ASL A/S/L

WP is a good one to add as i've lost count of the amount of times i've said "wp" at the end of a game and the person I was playing as gone "what does that mean?"

btw "wp" seems to be used more in the UK then in other countrys not sure if it started here... proberly also started out as meaning "wireplay" in the early days...

I imagine its origin is actually in real sport - specifically cricket, as in "well played old boy!"

OMFG a/s/l? get away from me

N1ce! ;-)

What about:
y? - why?
y! - yes!
I read it quite often.

seven uses "pos" and "neg" for yes and no. but he's qwerky.

i think its fascinating how l33tsp34k become commonplace. even new phrases and terms come up and its amazing how fast they spread and evolve.

I forgot:
ns - nice shot (I don't use it because of the other meaning)

gs - you have gamespeed but what about good shot?

I think i'm the only one that does this but sometimes I use a "thirteen thirtyseven" bind ingame. I'll use it every so often on irc too. thirteen thirtyseven = 1337. Someones girlfriend at a friendly lan had been seeing us write 1337 ingame and at one point, trying to fit in, said something was "...thirteen thirtyseven....What? You guys say it!" Its been a running joke ever since.

and don't forget...
HSMBTNRSHMBC = Holy Shit Monkey Batman Thats Not Right So He Must Be Cheating :P

great dictionary though, there were some things i was wondering about.

What about a dictionary for common phrases?
Things like "All your base are belong to us!" and "Someone set up us the bomb!"
... and where they came from?

Ask someone else, I am too lame for this ;)

;-D
OK, anyone out there?

Are there enough phrases for a dictionary?

Including the standard excuses and stuff... yes =)

try here

not the original link but it still works...

I know. I also had the game... but lost it :-(
format c: sucks ;-)
Thanks anyway!

www.allyourbase.org

and what about ASMD - And Suck My B***s ?

Never saw it used - Enlishmen please assess this one! :D

HPW : High Ping Warrior . It's not used alot these days, but was during quake days..

bg: boring game



LOTTO!!

Edit: and HPB/LPB is High/Low Ping Bastard

hpw is also high ping whiner

nice idea carmac!!!

LPB = Low Ping Bastard
HPB = High Ping Bait

That's how I've come to understand it several (around 5-7?) years ago. May've change since tho :p

Some more

RJ - Rocketjump
GJ - Grenadejump
OT - off topic
nt - No text/no thanks
ta - thanks alot
RA - Rocket Arena
TF - Team Fortress
CTF - Capture the Flag
(I guess you can add common games as well such as, rtcw, cs, mohaa etc)
thx - Thanks

I would avoid putting CTF, DM and the like... we would get an awful load of this...

I know many people knows RA as Rocket Arena, but I use it as Red Armor ;)

Expect a new surprise section soon =)

OMG, there is a lot of this stuff in here: http://www.esreality.com/?a=post&id=148419

n0b0dy t47k5 m0r3 l337 7h3n m3..

nice nice

ohh w3rk and sk3wl, work and school.

Sometimes I have also found stfw = search the **g web.. dunno how often it is used, to be honest.

or rtfm = read the manual

well nice you got almost everything too bad normal users cant add things :/

Cool, but LPB = low ping bastard, not "low ping bandwidth player" or something.

yep i saw that too, the same with hpb...

btw
hpw = high ping whiner.

One that's just being used a lot now in CS especially after a half is

gh = good half

well, low ping bandwidth sounds more polite...

what about a z entry?

zzz = zzz :P

And what about the Jargon file? (edit: yea ok, theres prolly not "rox" or "CS SUX" in it :)

Well, I had always found it cool that you had to learn stuffs with time.

shaft?

good idea ,
but you forgot to put * in the one of f**ks ;p (page 8 or 9)
and also '9' can be used as 'e' (qpo players)
'2' can be used as 'to' or 'too'

oh yea? and how do you write hjalmarzka with a "e"? or boy scout for instance.

edit: but yea, 9 can be e. :)

i meant senti and seka ;p

afaik, there is the 9 instead of the e because they are sponsored by cafe 9. and it could have been any other letter than the second one....so 9 is just e for seka and senti.

Thx for the remark, I didn't know about cafe 9 but I was sure the 9 was related to their sponsor (don't know why I thought they were sponsored by quadarena or something like that...wait...yea -their site is not easy to find :)- they're sponsored by nine STUDIOS).

They must have chosen the e cos of senti and seka still.

Now you know everything about me.

Godd idea... it's about time people stopped asking what specific combinations of numbers,symbols, and letters mean.

I dont understand why people dont use this one anymore:

w8 = wait!

congrats, really nice work m8

what else is new?

what about RTFM = read the manual
pr = pointrelease

nice work carmac, but did i miss something ? or isnt a lamer somebody who misbehaves ? and not somebody who is unskilled.

originally, lamer was a combination of the words Loser and gAMER...so, someone who loses games. o'course, nowadays 'lamer' is used for other things too.
btw, hi katakis :)

carmac, would be nice if u could add the origin of some expressions (like lamer...)

No lamer had nothing to do with gaming...
from the Jargon file
This term originated among Amiga crackers of the mid-1980s. It was popularized there by `Lamer Exterminator', the most famous and feared Amiga virus ever, which gradually corrupted non-write-protected floppy disks with bad sectors. The bad sectors, when looked at, were overwritten with repetitions of the string `LAMER!'.
lamer

thx for the info. i followed the link...

"lamer n.

[originally among Amiga fans] 1. Synonym for luser,
"

"luser /loo'zr/ n.

[common] A user; esp. one who is also a loser. (luser and loser are pronounced identically.) This word was coined around 1975 at MIT. Under ITS, when you first walked up to a terminal at MIT and typed Control-Z to get the computer's attention, it printed out some status information, including how many people were already using the computer; it might print "14 users", for example. Someone thought it would be a great joke to patch the system to print "14 losers" instead. There ensued a great controversy, as some of the users didn't particularly want to be called losers to their faces every time they used the computer. For a while several hackers struggled covertly, each changing the message behind the back of the others; any time you logged into the computer it was even money whether it would say "users" or "losers". Finally, someone tried the compromise "lusers", and it stuck. Later one of the ITS machines supported luser as a request-for-help command. ITS died the death in mid-1990, except as a museum piece; the usage lives on, however, and the term `luser' is often seen in program comments and on Usenet. "

well...

oh... and how could u forget about cw= clanwar; fw= funwar :))

http://www.astro.umd.edu/~marshall/abbrev.html

try this one, here u'll find everythin..

ps = plastic smile ;)

i always say "ty" as in thank you when someone says n1 or similar

gg - good god or good going
hpb - high ping bastard
lpb - low ping bastard
rgr - roger, yes
neg - negative, no


Mojo is such winnar!

"lamer, llama - an unskilled player"

i dont think thats true

FUBAR - Fu*ked Up Beyond All Recognition

what about vvu (or is it vwu r wvu) ... never figured that one out... used as a compliment in a match once... (i think)

vvv?
veni vidi vici

no.... wvu or something...

nfw - no way

i always thought 2 represented an R

Hi. Please give me my free AOL cd now.

Die ISP's!

hpb is not used by l33t players. Its hpw which is high ping warrior. Lpb is low ping bastard as somebody already has mentioned...

i think its "high ping whiner"

I know it as high ping wimp. :)

to *Carmac
you are totally wrong man!

lamer = have a look here

bg = boring game?? I have always presumed it meant "bad game", as opposed to "good game".

cba = can't be arsed (can't really be bothered about that)
faf = funny as
nn = night night (good night)
n8 = nite (good night), germans are the only ones using this afaik
asap = as soon as possible

and isn't n1 also supposed to mean "number one", like "you're simply the best"? correct me on this please.

n1 = nice one

as far as i know :]

maybe also these:

djeez, jiz, jeez, = jesus (omg shouldn't that be obvious?, or this is tiring me)
mebbe, mabbe, mby = may be

> n1 - nice one; an expression of admiration

We've extended this concept a little bit: when a player manages a certain sequence, we alter the digit to quantify it. Say he manages three consecutive rails: it's only fitting to receive a n3 instead of a shabby nice one... ;)

Here's another one for the dictionary:

10x - Thanks.

- smack

:)

ok! CarMac. Everyone, or at least the majority to XSR already KNOW what the UK/USA english abbreviations.

Why don't you actually do some reporting/interviewing and find out what the Spanish/German/Italian/French/Russian/etc abbreviations are and post them for us.

this is lame. this is common knowledge. do some actual research before you post a column.

keith - usa

I used to have a problem with this. I got a 'ttyl' in my face and I had to go around asking ppl what that meant. You are a native speaker to English so you don't have a problem like that, many other people do.

And about the other nations' abbreviations/slang - in Poland ppl use 'btw' or 'imo' (plus others too) with Polish words, inside Polish phrases. Pay me money and I will spend all day asking Italians what they have for 'bbiab'...

P.S. This is posted as an article.

fjortis!

Don't forget DILLIGAF.....Does It Look Like I Give A F...

np = no problem
gr8 = great!
m8 = mate
l8r = later

ping < 150 = lpb ?
well thats maybe in the uk were you all got shit connect :)
here its more like ping <100 = lpb
<40 = slpb = super low ping bastard
yo i would love to be a slpb :>

hpw is hing ping whiner not warrior :>

I think 150 is an OGL standard.

gg CarMac, but u forgot cg = chaingun :>

2 = to ?

no korean ? TT

What about
nq (AM) - netquake
qw - quakeworld
rq - realquake

hpw is also (imo more commonly) used as high ping wizard.
im not sure but i think i havent seen imo/imho either

I also heard of stfw.

You can add "nub for no0b" and "fgt for f*gg0t". I found a cool acronym dictionary (http://www.acronymfinder.com/).

what about ff (friendly fire)?

@ = a (duh!) :x
nvm / nvrmnd = nevermind

add pr0n.
whats about 'scnr = sorry could not resist' ?
and, afaik, rox can also stand for 'rockets'.

nt - nice try

I know it seems simple and being CS related, probably loathed, but how about AWP?

After all, it is actually an AWM, or AWM/PM. In fact now it's called something else like a magnum.

Just a thought.

n1c3 d1c710narY ;>

r3411y k00l

Does anyone have a clue what "sj" stands for?

http://www.cached.net/?go=%2A/demo/single/6103

From the mouth of ZeRo4 in the QuakeCon 2001 Grand Final.

What does "clutch shot" mean?

frj - forward rocket jump (script, qw)

see also "kfjump"

gf - good fight

hc - hardcore

¦] - secret cooller salut

ggl - smartass wc3 player (:

nw is not onl non weapon trickjump.
in ut it means normal weapons.
people post "searching for tdm nw" in irc for example.

well done so far, there are many expressions i didnt know up to now, but it would have been even more fun if u had made it like a test first... :P. like there was a thread some time ago, where people should find the right q3player to some given smileys.
(which was a good idea imo^^)

sj = strafe jump
dj = double jump
bh = bunny hop
ob = overbounce (q3 engine bug giving a high velocity)

gg is good game, meaning both good game and the game is over and you lost, not good going or whatever.
You should add something on the usage of gg, you've got to use it whenever you get a frag or the opponent makes the slightest error to wear down their will.

u? = you?, response to any insult, repeat ad infinitum.

y? = response to any action by the opponent.

tt = short form of the korean smiley T_T for tears.

ez = easy eg '2ez4me'

egd = corruption of ägd, swedish for owned (I think)

sif = as if

sifnt = as if not

oMfG h4x!!!111111

is l33t for Counter-Strike

I never figured out what tt means... is it some funky eyes?

think it's quite the same as "T_T" indeed

STFU.

hpb - (1) high ping bandwidth, (2) a high ping bandwidth player - usually referred to players with 56k modems or with a ping of over 150 milliseconds; also meant as high ping bastard

hpw - high ping whiner

Those used to be referred to as : hpb - high ping boy and hpw - high ping winner also, back in the old Action Q2 days when we were many of those. :)

what a waste of time

slpb - super low ping bastard - usually referred to players with a ping of less than 30.

omg lol etc

double u t f

OMG, 3 years on ESReality and only now finding this.

unfo!

u?

The sad things is, people are still posting this kind of dictionaries on QL forums, thinking they've had found a goldmine once they found out you can replace e with 3.
