Written by Lazy Bastard
Amish - Slang for "Very cool", or "Awesome".
ASCII - American Standard Code for Information Interchange. An ASCII file contains only text-based information, using a limited set of characters. It is useful, because virtually any type of computer can understand and interpret it. Much of the information on the internet is in ASCII format.
Address - The location in memory of a specific thing. In the code 800912AC 00FF, "0912AC" is the address.
Administrator - A person responsible for site configurations and support. Administrators have full power over a site or board, make all the rules, enforce them in the way they see best, and look over the moderators. Often abbreviated as "Admin".
Ban - To permanently (or until you decide otherwise) prohibit someone from posting on a message board or talking in a chat room.
BBIAW - Abbreviation for "Be Back In A While".
Binary - The Base-2 numerical system. Binary has only two numbers, 1 and 0.
Bit (Binary DigIT) - A single digit number in base-2. In other words, either a 1 or a 0. The smallest unit of computerized data. 1=On, and 0=Off in most cases.
BRB - Abbreviation for "Be Right Back".
BTW - Abbreviation for "By The Way".
Byte - A set of bits that represent a single character. Usually there are 8 bits in a byte,
sometimes more, depending on how the measurement is being made (WORD, DWORD, or Half-Word).
DAMIFINO - Abbreviation for "Damn If I Know".
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) - FAQs are lists that answer the most common questions on a particular topic. FAQs are usually written by people who have tired of answering the same question over and over.
Forum - One section of a message board concerning a group of topics that all pertain to the same basic information. For example, a forum named "General" would be where you would post topics about whatever you want (within reason), whereas a topic named "Codes" would only allow topics concerning codes to be posted.
Flame - Originally, flame meant to carry on a fierce honorable debate. Flames often involved the use of flowery language and flaming was an art form. More recently, flame has come to refer to any kind of derogatory comment used in public forums such as those in chat rooms and message boards.
GS - Abbreviation for GameShark, a cheat device created by Interact, inc.
GTG - Abbreviation for "Got To Go".
Hack - There are many definitions for this word due to the stupid, over-excited media, and so the public, wanting to slap the word "hacker" on to anyone they can, but I'll only cover one: To utilize the possible functions of a particular system in ways it was not meant to be utilized. In the GS world, the "system" would be a particular game.
HELIFINO - Abbreviation for "Hell If I Know".
Hexadecimal - The Base-16 numerical system. Basically, while the decimal system (the one we use in everyday life) is 10-base (0-9), the hexadecimal system is 16-base (0-F, in this order: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F). After "F" in hexadecimal comes 10. For more information on hexadecimal, read the FAQ written on The Basics of Hexadecimal, at the GSHI.
IMHO - Abbreviation for "In My Humble Opinion".
J/K - Abbreviation for "Just Kidding".
Kick - To temporarily knock someone out of a chat room. Generally speaking, only someone moderating a chat room can kick people.
Lamer - A stupid, illiterate, usually wannabe hacker, selfish, idiot that goes around causing trouble (or trying to) for no reason. Usually lamers get their own in the end, at the hand of hackers that actually know what they're doing.
LMAO - Abbreviation for "Laughing My Ass Off".
LOL - Abbreviation for "Laugh Out Loud", or "Laughing Out Loud".
Moderator - A person responsible for a particular forum of a message board or chat room, closing/deleting posts or topics when necessary (usually due to stupid, useless, derogatory, or otherwise inappropriate content), enforcing the rules of the forum, and pruning the forum's old topics in order to make room for the new ones. Often abbreviated as "Mod". Moderators are appointed by administrators.
Newbie - Person that is new to a particular thing, usually a message board, chat room, or a specific skill or trade.
Offset - Refers to a value added to a base address to produce a second address. For example, if B represents address 100, then the expression "B+5" would signify the address 105. The 5 in the expression is the offset.
PIMP - Not what it seems; abbreviation for "Pissing In My pants".
PLS - Abbreviation for "Please".
POS - Abbreviation for "Piece Of Sh**". Not many four-letter words start with "Sh".
Post - 1) A comment, question, or piece of input made by a member of a message board or anything like one, that is inside of a topic. When someone starts a topic, their first comment inside it is the first post. 2) The act of making such a post.
PSX - Abbreviation for Playstation, with the "x" being the version number. It is unknown why the "x" was ever added, but I would imagine that one of the reasons may be that just saying "PS" reminds you of Post Script, used at the ends of letters to add a comment that was forgotten before.
Quantity Digits - The four letters or numbers at the end of a code. For example, in the code 80090001 FFFF, the letters "FFFF" are the quantity digits. These digits are the only part of a code that ever changes, as the rest of the code is simply the address (with the exception of the first two digits of the code, which determine what type of code it is; for example, "D0"; which only change through a hacker making them change and not during regular gameplay). Commonly referred to simply as "digits".
ROFLMAO - Abbreviation for "Rolling On the Floor, Laughing My Ass Off".
ROFLMAOPIMP - Combination of two acronyms; abbreviation for "Rolling On the Floor, Laughing My Ass Off, Pissing In My Pants".
SBT - Abbreviation for "Sorry 'Bout That".
THX - Abbreviation for "Thanks".
Topic - A topic, just like the one in the dictionary. On a message board, topics are usually in their own seperate page within the forum they are in, and contain the original post of the author and any replies.
WTF - Abbreviation for "What The F***". You unscramble it.
