a U turn is called a 180 most of the time.. and um.. I used the term wallhugger for those ppl who only grind the outer wall. Dunno if this counts as real slang as I've only seen Digital use it too.

well i have to say, it is a little odd sometiimes but it doesnt really effect my fps, when its on it does slow the rendering a bit so i turn it off during big games.

more terms blurted out by players in games I have noticed:

NMV/GMV=nice/good move
FSNM=fa shizzle na mizzle
FR/FG= fun round/game
PITA=pain in the arse
kSA=kicking some arse
KMA=kiss my arse

I will add these to my termonolgy section. I forget who to give credit to but I am sure they will let me know, btw, there IS a copyright on NOMS! and I have it...hehe, I started the AKRONYM after commie and Z said it several times in one night, spelled out fully. I'm a shortcut kinda guy.

N.O.M.S! ®

"FSNM=fa shizzle na mizzle"

and someone maybe refresh me on what means exactly?

and just curious, can white americans still come up with their own slang anymore, or does it all have to be borrowed from african-american subculture?

its not na mizzle its ma nizzle.

fo shizzle mi nizzle means for sure my nigga. This sorta izzle thing became popular a year or 2 ago due to jay z and snoop dog using izzlefied speak in videos and songs

ex: for rizzle i be chizzle in the hizzle or fo rizze i'm chizze in tha hizzouse

thanks rudeboy, for the downlow. BTW, i use this one sometimes:

GTFOOH - get the @$%# out of here

(when i'm pissed off that i had a lag death or that someone i thought was my prey turned out to be my predator or in general i just did something stupid and died but am willing to blame anyone but myself. you all know the feeling, i think!)

hmm i think i gotta drizzle my pizzle fo shizzle now...

was that right? *goes to the toilet*

i think it's hilariously fun and goes to prove humour is always more cool than playing tough and mean and whatnot

and btw no a lot of american slang is not afroamerican in origin, think of all the netspeak like lol, rofl, stfu, rtfm, bbl, brb, teotwawki, iwteotwawkiaa. roflwaguma, afaik, imho, bib, yasd, yaad, wb, cu/cya and thousands more similar ones (examples taken from various places). this started in the Bell labratories and various universities during the sixties imo/afair (these ppl were not among the noisy potheads btw, they were technicians and such), look for the hacker's dictonary and you can learn about their emythology (emytholohgy = the knowledge/science about the origin of words). many of those ppl became wizards btw

then we have l33t5p34|<: \/\/|-|!C|-| C4|\| b3 \/\/R!++3|\| !|\| |\/|4|\|y D!ff3R3|\|+ \/\/4y5 D3P3|\|D!|\|8 0|\| y0uR !|\/|48!|\|4+!0|\| (which can be written in many different ways depending on your imagination) although it's mostly scriptkiddies who use it...
and stuff like kewl and leet among some younger mostly white americans is probably spillover from the others afaik (?)

wired(.com) has a regular jargon watch in their magazine (freely available backissues on the web), some catch on some dont

*phew* sorry i like the subject, if i find a word i like i'll use it no matter what (or create my own)
