Hey guys,
At the moment, one of my college classes that I'm taking is called "Dialects of Contemporary English" and I have an assignment that I'd like all of your input on. My general assignment is to gather slang from a certain dialect or type of language that a group of people use; I'd like to use the Guild Wars (or Gamer-) language for this assignment... and yes I already got the professor's approval =P. So what I need from you folks, which I think this will be a fun activity anyways, is to post here the following (if you please):
1. Any slang or informal terms that are used in MMO's, or Guild Wars, that wouldn't be traditionally accepted in an academic paper for school. (can be class/profession specific or just general gamer lingo - abbreviations work as well)
2. For the terms that you list, please also give the meaning of the word as you understand it and at least one sample sentence using the term.
3. Feel free, also, to comment on each others' entries - make this fun! =D
Thanks in advance, I really appreciate it.
