Living with a teenager teaches you some things. amazing how the virtual games have influenced the real life by creating a new vocabulary list:
‘Hey, GG. let’s go for another round?’
GG- acronym of Good Game (often used with a negative connotation as a remark)
‘Of course, this one is imba!’
Imba – Short form for ‘imbalance’ (mostly used with a positive connotation to show that one is so good that it creates an ‘imbalance’)
so these are only 2 terms i caught which are possibly propogated by the chinese high people (from what i hear). Slangsite.com has a pretty comprehensive list of slangs (including GG but not imba). again, talk about generation gaps. Colloquial language might be a rising trend or possibly a fad, but either way, it demonstrates how our lives and exposure in this world fighting for your attention has infected us.
