Any hobby or profession has its own lingo, or jargon, and WoW is no different. Where there are people, there are people who don’t like to type much, and just about everything gets cut down to four letters, be it your name, spells, or whatever else. This article gives you a basic glossary of WoW’s unique lingo.
Term
Meaning
Aggro
Akin to threat, "aggro" refers to the moment when threat reaches the threshold necessary for the mob to attack you.
Alts
This stands for "alternate," as in alternate characters. People who have more than one character call their main one a "main" and any alternate characters "alts."
BC
Burning Crusade (expansion).
Burning Legion
Lead by fallen titan Sargeras, the Burning Legion is the evil force (think demons) behind Burning Crusade and Legion in particular, but also features heavily in Warlords of Draenor and to a much smaller extent WotLK.
Belf
Blood elf
Bubble
Divine Shield makes you invincible for awhile, as do enchantments on bracers that allow you to hearth while in a bubble.
Bubble hearth
An enchantment on bracers that allows hearthing while invulnerable.
CD
See Cooldown.
Cata
Cataclysm (expansion).
Classic
The re-release of the original World of Warcraft game before the first expansion Burning Crusade (as distinct from "Vanilla," which Classic emulates).
Clothie
A character that wears cloth; mages, priests, warlocks, and so forth.
Closet
A warlock can summon party members with what is called a warlock closet.
Cooldown
When you use a spell it is then said to be “on cooldown” until you can use it again. You can set the game to show a number in the spell's box counting down until it's available.
Cow
A semi-derogatory, semi-affectionate term for tauren of any stripe. Indeed, all tauren can type /moo to actually moo.
Don't Stand In The Fire!
Stop killing yourself ... usually by standing in fire or some other vile substance on the ground.
Drinking
Chances are, the person is not sharing their inebriation status with you if they say this during combat; rather, they are drinking a potion so they can get more mana to heal your butt.
DOT
Damage Over Time. These spells and effects do damage every second.
DPS
Damage Per Second.
EFC
"Enemy carrier of YOUR flag," not the flag carrier of the enemy's flag.
FP
Flight path.
Hearth
To use your hearthstone.
Hero class
There are technically two hero classes, which were actual new races with their own class. The first were Death Knights that came as part of the assault on the former master the Lich King, and the second hero class appeared with Legion, the Illidari, who were followers of Illidan in his battle to fight the Burning Legion and keep them from taking Azeroth and destroying it. You need a character of at least 55 to be able to start a DK and you need a level 98 character to be able to start an Illidari. In any case, the term isn't used for that massive body of land that no longer exists anymore, so confusion potential is naught.
HOT
Heal over time. These spells heal you for a bit each second.
HPS
Healing Per Second.
Kalimdor
“For Kalimdor!” is akin to "For Pangea!" only we didn't live on Pangea as a race, whereas all but orcs did live on the pre-sundering continent of Kalimdor. The west-most continent retained the name after The Sundering.
Khaz Modan
The dwarves often refer to this location, but it's not one per se, it's a region including Aerie Peaks north to Grim Batol, west to Wetlands, east to Twilight Highlands, and south to Loch Modan.
Legion
Expansion (as distinct from the Burning Legion demonic forces).
LFG
Looking for group.
LFM
Looking for more.
Lordaeron
A region encompassing Tirisfal Glades, Eastern and Western Plaguelands (before the plague), Silverpine Forest, Gilneas, Dalaran (when it was in the ground it was in Hillsbarad Foothills), Hillsbarad Foothills itself, and Arathi Highlands.
LOS
"Line of sight." If there is a wall between you and your healer, you can't be healed. If there is a wall between you and your enemy, you can't cast most spells on it because they are out of sight.
Main
Your currently focused character that you play constantly or a character you cherish above all others.
Mob/Mobs
Enemy or enemies. Because they usually mob you, the term’s origination isn’t hard to assess.
MoP
Mists of Pandaria (expansion).
Nelf
Night elf.
Nerf (as in “to nerf”)
Nerfing means to make something less punishing somehow, just like a Nerf football doesn’t hurt when you get hit in the face with it compared to a real pigskin.
Ninja
In the modern game, this basically means to steal a base while in stealth.
OOM
Out of mana.
Org
Short for Orgrimmar, the Horde capital in Durotar.
Proc
Originally the term probably stems from "processes," but what you should read it as is "activates" in verb form or as another name for the effect itself when used as a noun. Verb usage: "This trinket procs Timewalk." Use X trinket to proc whatever proc." Yes, you see that you can confusingly use "proc" as the verb and a noun, but what it means is " Use trinket X to activate Y effect, and that actually does make sense.
Quel-Thalas
A region including Ghostlands, Eversong Woods, Silvermoon City, the nearby Blood Elf starter zone, and the Isle of Quel-Danas. Also refers to an unused zone that at some point may be folded into the Plaguelands, somehow, because it is and remains an unfinished zone accessible only via traveling east on the northern coast of Tirisfal Glades. Because the zone is so small and because Stratholme used to be a port city, chances are that region may go to that city at some point, as it wasn't large enough for what they wanted to do with it as was evident when they didn't use the zone but instead started over with the other zones that are now considered part of what was Quel-Thalas before WotLK.
Roll
As in "I want to roll a priest." In Dungeons & Dragons as well as other genuine role-playing games in which you had to roll dice to determine your traits, these dice that are absolutely not used in WoW are what is being referred to. In early video game RPGs, you would still have to click a Roll button to roll your stats, and could roll over and over again until you got lucky and got a good roll. This is not the case in WoW, so people who say this are just trying to sound "old school."
Rotation
The buttons that you press in combat. You might hit "1" when entering combat and then another key, and so forth, each time.
Squishy
To be "squishy" means to look at your health bar when someone, even you, are trying to heal yourself and just cannot get to 50 percent, much less higher, most of the time. If you're always near death, you're "squishy" as far as your healer is concerned.
SW
Stormwind, capital city of the Alliance.
Threat
When you get near an enemy, you generate threat. Related to aggro.
the percentage of threat is listed above the target character’s name as a percentage. At 100 percent threat, it wants you dead, whatever it is.
Toon
A name for character probably stemming from the word “cartoon.”
Troll
Someone who just wants to harass others or start a fight in chat, be it in a major city like Org or SW, or in a PvP battleground, or wherever.
Velf
Void elf.
WoD
Warlords of Draenor (expansion).
WotLK
See Wrath.
Wrath
Wrath of the Lich King (expansion).
Zerg
Actually a creature type in StarCraft, this “zerg” means to rush forward with no thought to what is on your sides or behind you. If someone says “zerg x,” they mean everyone should rush to (and if possible fight) whatever X is.
1
Invite me (to a group) or summon me (via a warlock closet). People usually type "Type 1 to be invited," or some such, to warn you, but if you see others typing "1" randomly, scroll up in your chat and you might see why.
