Ns Jargon

Macguyvok

<div class="IPBDescription">How about a compiled dictionary?</div> I've been on these forums for a decent while, and still I've not gotten all the jargon down. I'm sure there are others that feel the same, although they might not want to speak up. What I was wondering, is could we compile a "dictionary" of NS Jargon that others could refere to, inorder to understand a post, or something to that effect? Example:

bh = Bunney Hop. The ability to jump repeatedly and gain speed. Considered a Marine Exploit in 1.04, fixed in 1.1.
IMHO = In My Humble Opinion
IMO = In my Opinion

Something like that. Here are a few I see that I still don't know.

IIRC
WoL (Wall of Lame....What exactly is it?)

There are more, but I can't think in 100+ degree temperatures... like what it is in my room right now.

Wall of Lame is when the gorge builds o towers on top of each other in a doorway ( I think, could be just anywhere).

Wall of Lame is a bunch of O chambers blocking off an entrance to a place with D's to heal returning kharra and the structures.

Art, my friend. Art.

It is also this:

Some people will flash their flashlight at you to get you to follow them. Some people as in me and a handful of others I've seen. Also I'll flash my flashlight at a person and then shine it on something(ie:pick up this welder, hmg, build this structure). The flashlight's a little quieter then the saying's <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> Oh and nice call a civilian.

Unforyunately though, only you can see where you're pointing your flash, thanks to how ancient HL is. Other people just see you glowing.

Still, if you see them glowing, you know that their flashlight is on, so if they're glowing and pointing at something, you know they are shining their flashlight at it.
