A section for gaming lingo, terms, acronyms, etc.

Post by Gamerforlife »

Reading a recent topic I noticed someone was confused about what CIB means. This got me thinking, years ago I found a pro wrestling site that had a section explaining insider lingo. Words like mark, heel, babyface, jobing and various other terms that would mean nothing to a casual wrestling fan but made perfect sense to the internet wrestling fan.

Would Racketboy benefit from a section explaining various "in the know" lingo like CIB, shmup, OBO, broken, sequence breaking, etc, etc.

Just an idea, and I want credit if Racketboy actually does this lol
