My online gaming experience consists of occasionally standing behind my friend’s 8 year old son asking questions like "Is that wobbly thing trying to sneak up on you?"
Help a fellow out please?
What do the following mean:
POS:
IMO:
QQ More:
PUG:
Got this stuff from the christmas card.
Thanks :)

POS = Piece of ****
IMO = In my opinion
QQ More = Cry more (the q’s look like eyes with tears)
PUG = Pick up group (random players forming a party)
:)

I’m your source of self destruction.

Thankls for the update. Now, a question. They are all using VOIP to talk. Do people still use the keyboard contractions in their speech?

Sometimes.
I’ve been playing some City of Heroes.
In the Supergroup a friend got me into, they constantly use acronyms for things while everyone is chatting away with Ventrilo.
Drove me almost batty, until I learned the lingo.

Do you suppose that, somewhere, an obsucure English professor in some small college is about to make a splash in the intellectual community by analyzing the crap out of that phenomenon?

I certainly hope not.
We have enough silliness around already. The use of acronyms in regular speech amongst MMO players, likely, has little difference to the use of acronyms in the military. They are used to quickly convey some point of data, in a sometimes hectic (feeling or actually) environment.

Anyone know if w00t ever made it into Webster’s? I know it was being voted on as one of the new words to add to it. I wish I was lying about that too lol.

I don’t believe it’s -actually- in the dictionary yet, but it did make Merriam-Webster’s word of the year for 2007. They’re kinda late, though … "w00t" is so 2006. :P
