Slang Terms Guide

Welcome to the Slang Terms Guide. This guide is a list of slang terms/acronyms/etc used on RuneScape put together, along with their meanings and a short description.

Acronyms
Acronyms are abbreviations of phrases players use to make the conversation less of a hassle.

The list of acronyms are as follows:
 * BYOB - Bring your own beer - used when telling others about a party, requiring them to bring their own beer, not relying on the host to have it.
 * G2G - Got to go - used when you have to leave.
 * JK - Just kidding, Just joking - used to show someone is kidding or joking.
 * LOL - Laugh out loud, Lauging out loud, Lots of laughs - used to show that a player is laughing a lot, or at least think that something is very funny, players will say "lololololol" or something to that extent. Lol is pronounced both "lahl" and "el-oh-el". Lol can also be spelled "lawl" for the "lahl" pronounciation. Some people can also use Lol as "Lots of Love". Lol is the most common phrase in whole RuneScape.
 * LM(F)AO - Laugh my (effin) arse off - used when something was really hilarious.
 * NP - No problem - used after someone says thank you and such.
 * OMG - Oh my god, Oh my goodness, Oh my gosh - used when someone finds something shocking or has a sudden realization. Some may also say Omfg(Oh my effin god) when they get surprised in a bad(most likely upsetting) way all of a sudden.
 * PK - Player killing - act of two players in combat.
 * RC - Runecrafting - skill of Runecrafting.
 * ROFL - Rolling on floor laughing - origins are unknown, but several sources suggest it was created by just another person among us who got bored of the old term lol.
 * STFU - Shut the eff up - used when you just need someone to stfu.
 * TWSS - That's what she said - used when someone says something like "That thing's huge" or "Insert rod A into slot B". People may also say TWHS(That's what he said) for things like "Can you give me a hand?".
 * TY - Thank you - used after a successful trade. Saying ty repeatedly (tytytyty) is censored because it contains the sequence tyt, sounding like tit. Instead, some will say TYVM, meaning Thank you very much.
 * WC - Woodcutting - skill of Woodcutting.
 * YW - You're welcome - used after a trade or after a fight with a monster or person.

Slang Words
Slang words are words oftenly used in RuneScape in place of other words.

The list of slang words are as follows:
 * 2 - Two/to/too - used to substitute two, to, or too.
 * 4 - Four/for - used to substitute four and for.
 * Beggar - Someone who begs constantly, usually for free money or items - mostly ending the sentence with plz.
 * LVL - Level - used to shorten level.
 * Noob - person who acts new even though they've played for more than a year - common insult used amongst RuneScape players. Noob is uncommonly used by players in an unoffensive way to refer to a new player. Similar words, such as Froob and Choob, are also used, albeit rarely. Players cannot be reported for using the word noob unless it is done to an excessive degree, whereby it breaks Rule 1 for spamming. However, a player can be given a multiple amount of black marks for using the word nub to an excessive degree. As the word, as well as being a separate form of noob, also has another very insulting meaning. Noob is used by many people just as an insult, as you cannot get banned for saying it. Even a much lower level may still just call you noob for being annoying.
 * PL8 - Plate - referring to platemail such as iron, addy, rune, etc.
 * PLZ - Please - mostly used in begging to constantly beg the other person.
 * Pwn - to own or burn someone - used quite often on free-to-play worlds, but much less on members worlds. It would mostly occur when PKing or doing some other somewhat unskilled activity involving death or competition. Many people that use the word are most likely new players that are veterans from other games or newbs attempting to act "cool" around the higher levels.
 * Scimmy - Scimitar - long curved sword.
 * U - You - used to substitute you.
