help me think of words for a Gamer's Alphabet?

it's a good idea, limited by my sheer ignorance of the terminology. maybe it can get spun out to a project fundraiser thing.

i'd like to avoid actual "names", like Bungie or Halo (see? i do know a little bit).

I'll take anything, though. multiple instances are just fine.

please?

    I am not narrowing it down. Gamers share some terms, and some are unique; if this ever becomes a reality, I'd like it to appeal to a broad range of people (yes, I'd want to sell it to raise money for Marissa.)

    My ultimate vision is that each letter would have an illustration and a short descriptive sentence, and the alphabet would be compiled in a book. :)

    for starters, I'd add.

    that's a good one. :) this teabag dance, is it something all gamers have in common?

    M: Merked/Merced - Getting raped, pillaged, mutilated, ambushed, brutalized, or in some other way murdered, such as by a mercenary for hire. Usually in a video/computer game.

    B" Boosh
    interj.

    2. Used to express repugnance or contempt.
    3. Used to interrupt a conversation.
    4. Used to suprise or jolt another.
    5. A combination of any or all of the above at once.

    just because some hormonally challenged misfits say something, doesn't mean it's right. ;) in fact, that's the point, isn't it? to be so cool as to naturally just go "over the top".

    thanks for explaining, tobiko. :)

    I'm going to try and correlate everyone's input so far.

    does the term: turtle : mean someone who hides in one spot and accumulates experience, or is it a verb?
