What does "Dot 2" mean? List of popular slang expressions

Any large online game has its own slang expressions, which communicate with each other users. World Of Tanks, Lineage (at its best) and, of course, Dota. This is one of the most popular games, which takes the leading positions in the number of players. And new users who try to play often do not understand what they are talking about in the chat because of the abundance of jargon. In particular, they do not know what an office means. This question often pops up, so we will try to answer it once and for all.

What does it mean?

There is a word in English - ofcourse, which in Russian is pronounced as "offkoze". Do not you notice anything? There is a similarity in the first three letters of "off," which means, therefore, the same thing as "ofcosis", that is, "naturally" or "of course."

It is worth noting that it is in DotA that this expression pops up. In other games, players communicate a little differently, and the same expression in the chat is written as "y", which is abbreviated from yes, that is, the Russian "yes." In general, it is a bit strange to reduce only 2 letters in a word, but the fact remains. The meaning is not even in the very reduction, but simply in jargon. Players like to communicate this way, so they use similar "truncated versions".

Well, now you know what it means for "DotA 2" to be off-limits, so you'll have a little better understanding of the meaning of the players' correspondence. But it's not enough to know a simple "off". There are enough jargon, so it's worth taking a look at more strange expressions.

Other slang expressions in games

Below we highlight the most popular slang terminology used in online games:

1. BB means bye-bye (bye-bye). Means farewell. When, for example, your partner comes out of the game, he writes bye-bye.
2. BG and GG are probably the most commonly used expressions. In translation from English BG (bad game) and GG (good game) mean "bad game" and "good game" respectively. Usually if someone from the participants "blunted", and the game did not turn out to be interesting, then the opponent can write BG. But if it was interesting, then both participants can write in the GG chat. And regardless of whether victory or defeat ended the game for your opponent, he can write GG, making it clear that it was really interesting and good. There is also an analog of this expression - GF (short for good fight), which means "good fight".
3. Cheat is a term for "Cheat." If someone plays too well (for example, accidentally kills an enemy through the wall in a Counter-Strike game), then they can be accused of cheating, that is, cheating by writing cheat in the chat.
4. GL is good luck. Usually they write rivals to their partners and opponents, wishing good luck. It is written gl at the very beginning of the match.
5. HF - Have Fun. Translated as "have fun." This word is also written at the beginning of the match and is used together with GL. That is, players write gl hf.
6. Imba is an abbreviation of imbalance, which means an object that imbalances the game. For example, in the game World Of Tanks there are tanks that by their characteristics surpass the analogues of their level. Such tanks are called imba.
