    Ever heard of nominalization? It's taking a verb, adjective, or adverb and turning it into a noun (or the other way around). You use those kinds of words every day. For instance, do you water your plants or do you pour water onto your plants? Water, in this instance, is used as both a noun and a verb. One you're probably familiar with is "Blues", as in "One of the Blues said...". Blue is an adjective, while it is also a name given to Blizzard posters (also a nominalization of "post" by morphological process of adding "-er") referencing the color of their posts.

    Using the term "bads" is not incorrect, nor is it "the pinnacle of idiocy".

    I harbor great disdain for many WoW/internet terms, but these really boil my blood, particularly because of the context in which they are used. Trolling and/or mocking players for making gameplay mistakes gets people a quick /ignore from me.

    Lesser but notable offenses are the abbreviations that make no damn sense. Where the Hell did "pl0x" originate?

    Not really. It went from "PST GS" to "PST ILVL"

    To everyone angry about "lol u mad?", "u mad bro?", "why u mad?":

    You do realize the whole point of those phrases is to piss you off even further, right?

    Fixed that for you. Please refrain from going a bit "too far" with your language.
    Loving that edit. Hahaha!

    please
    plz
    plx
    plox
    pl0x

    Makes perfect sense: typos, abbreviations, and phonetic spelling! Just like:
    owned
    pwned
    pwnt

    DPS is a completely acceptable term. My argument if you wanted to get technical would be that, when people say "LF DPS", they are literally looking for damage per second for the encounter - get 2 classes/specs that specialize in damage. DD just looks wrong, and I've never come across it in EQ, EQ2, SWG, WoW, Vanguard, or really any game I've played.

    Other things that annoy me somewhat:

    HC. It's H. LFG H <Insert Encounter>

    Link GS and Achi. How about no. I wouldn't be asking if I wasn't ready for it. (I realize some people do, but come on. This is insulting to people)

    People telling casuals to shut up. They have as much right as the rest of us to witness all the content. The fact that you spend 8 hours a day theorycrafting and perfecting raid tactics in your backyard in no way earns you special content over someone who plays 3 hours a week.

    1. Blizzard staff uses "toon", so get over it.

    2. plox or pl0x. These don't even make sense. Use pls or plz if you are that lazy. It's one less key to press.

    3. Pwn. I guess they are so awesome, Own wasn't descriptive enough. So they had to increment the O to P and made Pwn. Sigh. You do realize you are an idiot and it sounds like you are saying Pawn? Cuz believe me, that's all you ever will be.

    4. Although the O is right next to K, it's still faster to type "kk" than "ok". It's not that bad, kk?

    5. No one on my server says HC. We say HM for Hard Mode, since blue posts often refer to it this way.

    6. Trial of the Champion vs. Trial of the Crusader. This was stupid on Blizzard's part. So everyone had to ask when seeing "ToC" in chat. I always made it a point to type ToC5 or HToC5 when referring to the dungeon. But no one else does it.

    7. TB. Thunder Bluff? Tol Barad? Oh, brother!

    8. DM. Deadmines? Dire Maul? Grrrr! Back in classic, peeps always said VC for VanCleef, meaning Deadmines. But now in cata, everyone uses DM=Deadmines.

    9. GS. No one uses GearScore anymore. But they will still say "GS" when they want to know your average iLvl. It's aggravating.

    And slightly related --

    Me: Where are you?
    Them: In front of AH
    Me: Orgrimmar has four AHs
    Them: ??
    Me: Sigh. Are you in Valley of Lag?

    It's a neutral response, also a way of describing something mediocre.

    Bob: So John, how was your day?
    John: It was meh.

    Some people also use it instead of Me, but not as often.

    I hate getting the reply "inv" when you're trying to gather a group in public chat. Especially when yo've asked for achievements and stuff. If you say "inv" because its shorter then "Hello, Can I join your raid? Im Spec-Class. [Achievement]", then I will say "No" because its shorter then "Yes".
