WTB gaming lingo?

[ValkyrieWing]

LOL this is indeed true

I guess Slabs sounds better than Slab?

As far as strange WoW lingo goes, the most confusing has to be place names (BRD vs BFD, ULDA vs UBRS vs LBRS, RFD vs RFK) not to mention all the VC vs DM debates (and DM will always stand for Dire Maul, noobs). I did get confused with omw. I think that was it for any slang one could actually use for anywhere that isn't Azeroth.

Sorry, the dungeon isn't called Van Cleef. :P

Then call it DMS. It's VC otherwise. Pathetic little dungeons do not deserve to be singled out by their titles. They get called by their boss name.

I don't play alliance so like.. the 2 times we got bored enough to want to go over there we'd just be all "DEAD MINES. >=O"

The only one that really got me confused was "Slabs" which is Shadow Labyrinth. Usually most of them are either abbreviations or the first so many letters of on the of the words, slabs is just a combo word. Whic... there's not even an "s" at the end. ; ;

I believe it is mostly to ease confusion when abbreviating things. SL is usually the designation for Soul Link Warlocks. Slabs/Slab sounds a bit better than that.

ps deadmines is one word :x

I can't find that on wowhead, where does it drop?

On Thottbot.

Regardless of what the WoW folks would have you believe, DM = Divine Might. Always has and always will.

On a related note, EDM = Eskimo Deathmatch. The WoW folks can't take that one away either.

DM = Dire Maul. EDM = whatever, because it's called Dire Maul East, and thus DM East.

Thottbot is full of fail and AIDs. Also keyloggers.

I said 'Shatt' on Wow because it stands for Shattrah and this guy was all like "Dang, no need to swear man."

Classic.


Cases like "WTB run thru sfk, 10g," "LF good tank heroics. Don't suck," or "WTB [Mongoose] 600g, my mats and tips" are common in the Trade Chat. If you don't understand the Lingo, you will not survive.

Also, the whole "w" as "lol" thing. That's just weird. People would start and end their sentences with "w" so for a time, i thought it was some sort of odd Japanese punctuation mark.

わらい means laughter. The part that annoys me is that North Americans cannot duplicate the script that they type "W" in without special assistance.

I remember once a guy in our guild was spamming trade to sell something, i dont remember what, and he said at the end of his spam 'pst plz'. The entire guild made fun of him for like 2 weeks. lol

"DM" is Deadmines.
"LOCK EPIC MOUNT QUEST LF HEALS" is Dire Maul.
