Friend of mine plays WoW, so naturally I had to make him wtf.

Didn't work out as well as it should have though... might have been more fun if he actually knew some of these words...

Any game, incl. WoW, just google "x Terminology". If it takes more than 2 min then its not worth it .

Well, I think robes means robe wearers - the low life units who die quickly, and pats are patrols referring the the fact that NPC monsters usually patrol a path.

I don't see why its really funny though.

Imagine a friend walking up to you and start saying stuff like.
Micro/ macro?
Push?Ball?
You chobo/gosu?
1a2a3a?
Metagame?

A couple of words from the game taken out of context makes no sense to anybody.

Nevermind, I quoted you and copy+pasted.

Am I missing something or is this a thread about a guy who thinks he is making fun of someone by making himself sound like a moron?
Great people talk about ideas. Average people talk about things. Small people talk about other people.

Nope, I think you got the gist of it.

Played wow for a few months so no trouble understanding that. I always did like the term "squishies". ^-^

That sounds like how all the 'cool' parents or teachers try to approach and befriend the kids by using what they believe to be the current slang. It generally fails equally much as that image you linked.

Well actually, I've only ever used the term "squishy" to describe another player in pvp that takes a lot of damage. They could be wearing cloth or plate, doesn't matter as long as I hit hard on him, I call out in vent "xxxx's squishy, switch on him".

I guess you can use whatever you feel comfortable with, I just always thought of myself as the only non-squishy squishy priest in arenas haha.

There is no reason to criticize WoW abbreviations, it's just another game.
