Abbreviations


An abbreviation (from Latin brevis "short") is a shortened form of a word or phrase. Usually, but not always, it consists of a letter or group of letters taken from the word or phrase. For example,...

I would like to add "fbm" (fine by me) usually used when someone asks if they can loot something; drop, node, etc.

Hell.

Re: Abbreviations

Just wanted to correct a couple of things and add a few others:

  1. Mauradon is actually spelled Maraudon, and the abbreviation for it is Mara;
  2. Zul'Farrack is actually spelled Zul'Farrak
A few additions:

  1. IMHO - In My Humble Opinion
  2. OP - Can mean Overpowered as stated in this guide, but can also mean Original Poster in relation to a forum thread (i.e. Akasha is the OP for this thread )
  3. HP - Hellfire Peninsula
  4. Zangar - Zangarmarsh
  5. SMV - Shadowmoon Valley
  6. BEM - Blade's Edge Mountains
I will include any others I think of.

YMMV - Your Mileage May Vary, for instance "I personally think all rogues should burn for all eternity, YMMV." In other words, you may think differently ( but obviously not in this case )

What does seed mean? see cut below from a recent posting:

"As soon as it gets to the tanks, all locks start loading up the little void guys still on him with seeds. Make sure you are casting seeds on the little guys and not the big guy as the seed damage is critical in burning down the big guy. by the time the little ones all die (3-5 seeds per lock) the big void should be around 25-40% health and only needs 2 or 3 SB from each lock to finish it off."
