Its most common usage is, like Mismaguis said, "for the win", but it can also mean "**** the world".


A'ight, my contribution, this is how I know the word "noob", or "n00b" if you like.
To put it into a category, "noob" falls under gaming.

Noob
n
1. Apparently derived from "newbie", and synonymous with that word.

Noob

(video gaming) To mess about/play around; to be silly/not take seriously; to wander around aimlessly in the manner of a newbie.
-"Quit noobing about and play properly."

Wow, I never knew there was a difference, is there a difference in woot, w00t too?

Others I can add are ...

WTH (What the Heck)

POS - parent over shoulder
AFK - away from keyboard
IDR - I don't remember
WB - Welcome back (usually used after someone returns after they've said "brb")

Just for everyone's knowledge:

brb (Be right back)
g2g (Got to Go)

This isn't slang, not one bit. These are all acronyms (save for the terms n00b and noob, but those have become a lot more common place nowadays).

Anyway, there is no need to display offensive acronyms as examples in this thread, since ... well, it's offensive, and it encourages members to bypass the forum censors. So no more of it.

Urm, no, there isn't a difference between noob and n00b, noobcake, nooblet, nub, etc.
So no, there isn't one between woot and w00t either.

What is "bypassing the censors" anyway?

When these pop up: **** That's against the rules. So I'd avoid doing that.

ZOMG = Like OMG, but more emphasis.
BBQ = Be Back Quick
and this isn't an acronym, but it is only used on internet:
<3 = Love (looks like a heart on its side)
<333 = Love lots (looks like 3 hearts stacked on top of each other)

uh, I used to think it was that too, but after receiving some clarification on the matter, the forum censors actually place those stars there in the case of swearing. In the cases here, the censor bypassing involved something like Q***** (I've edited them all out though). Basically it's anything that gives hints to the actual word being concealed or allows the ~forbidden~ word to be revealed by tricking the censors somehow.

Though one can always establish it by the context and it's location in the sentence o.o

I hope that made sense, I kinda explained it in a roundabout way. Anyway, any further discussion or questions on the matter can be directed to the staff via PM or in CQ&F.

Well, I guess I have one to add.

LULZ is a corruption of LOL, which stands for laugh out loud. (source: Faux News)

haha, I just saw that other one the other day, good one XD

Hehe i got a good one:

Meh - Has no meaning. Just a random word :D

Y - Why

Gdgd - Good/good good

1337 - Elite? Im not that sure on that one.

Yes, that is correct, although I don't get why people just dont type leet or elite. Here are a few of mine:

Ttyl - Talk to you later
Bbl - Be back later (when a Brb isn't enough to describe how long you'll be out)
Cuz - Because
Gl - Good luck
Bff - Best friends forever

Some simple FPS gaming lingo for y'all:
gg = good game
ns = Nice shot
gj = good job
nn = nice nade

Probably more, but can't think of anything else.

OMG BRB IDK WEN UR MY BFF LYL CU L8R ...

I feel stupid :(

But ironically they're probably the smart ones because they can say a lot more in a shorter space of time.

LMAO =
Laughing My Ass Off

ROTFLMAO=

Rolling on the floor laughing my ass off

I guess some increasingly popular Japanese net slang/AA's apply here too.

OTL / orz = Man falling down on his knees in defeat.

∑（°д°） = Unexpected surprise.

（´・ω・｀） = Sad face. Usually accompanied with 「ｼｮﾎﾞｰﾝ」 (shobo-n), which indicated even more sadness and disappointment.

（｀・ω・´） = Face full of energy. Usually accompanied with 「ｼｬｷｰﾝ」 (shaki-n), which indicates happiness and will.

（・∀・） = Multi-purpose AA. Can be used to promote happiness in threads, while it can also be used with 「ﾆﾔﾆﾔ」 (niya niya;snickering laughter) to make fun of people who just said something dumb in their posts.

(・∀'（＠ニニ（Д゜＃） = stfu

There's more, but common ones are here.
