What Are Your Favourite Slang Words?


Recommended Posts

I play a lot of games and browse quite a few sites, during that time I've picked up quite a few terms that other non tech/gaming people just don't know. I hadn't really thought about it until today when I was talking to my friend about Borderlands 2 and he only seemed to understand every third word I said. So I was wondering what are your favourite slang (or Internet speak, not quite sure how best to say it) terms?

My two most used just now would probably be borked and zerged... mainly because of Guild Wars 2 :p

None, I detest internet slang, especially Epic

It's not Epic, its a picture of a cat with a melon on its face you d**k

The only time someone is allowed to say the word 'Epic' without irony is when they're talking about a certain Faith No More song. At any other time they must be slapped.

In SA when we say, "how is it?" (How are you?) we say "howzit".

bru ? A term of affection like "bra" and "boet", shortened from Afrikaans word broer, meaning "brother". An example would be "Hey, my bru, howzit?"

There are hundreds of others but that said, lots of the younger generation (In SA) have become very "Americanised" with their use of slang due to American film and television.

    • Closed-loop cooling and a custom 800G network protocol let the $7.3B campus run as one AI training machine. Microsoft confirmed June 23, 2026, that its Fairwater campus in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, is fully operational — and the engineering behind it makes the facility something fundamentally different from every data center that came before it. Where conventional cloud infrastructure racks up general-purpose servers and parcels out workloads to each one independently, Fairwater links hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GB200 Blackwell GPUs into a single, coherent cluster using a two-story building design, 800-gigabit-per-second Ethernet fabric, and a proprietary networking protocol co-developed with OpenAI and NVIDIA. The result, according to Microsoft, is the closest thing to a purpose-built AI supercomputer that any company has ever placed in commercial operation. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319205/20260627/microsoft-opens-fairwater-wisconsin-ai-campus-runs-one-supercomputer-via-800g-ethernet.htm
