Suggest Terms for the Dakka Glossary Here @ 2007/11/11 12:58:14


Post by: yakface


If you haven't noticed, Dakka has a glossary that automatically give definitions for abbreviated words, such as GW or ROTFL.

If you have any suggestions for commonly used miniature gaming or general internet abbreviations that you've noticed haven't yet been added to the glossary please post them in this thread, along with a clear description of what the abbreviation means (and what game they apply to, or rather if they are a general abbreviation).


Here a few guidelines as to whether an abbreviation can be added to the glossary:

  • The glossary is for the entire forum, we can't make forum specific glossaries.

  • Definitions should be as succinct as possible.

  • The abbreviation can only be a single word (so no two-word combination abbreviations).

  • The glossary recognizes the word when surrounded by a space or punctuation, so GW and .GW. will show up because both are surrounded by spaces or punctuation, but GWGW won't work because there aren't spaces or punctuation around both sides of it.

  • The one exception to the above rule is plurality. Any abbreviation entered will also be automatically recognized by the system with an 's' attached to the end. So 'GW' will also automatically also be recognized as 'GWs'



  • I especially need suggestions from non-40K gamers who can let me know about some of the abbreviations used on aregular basis in other games that I have no idea about (since I mainly just play 40K).


    Thanks for your help!

    A = Attack Characteristic [40K,WHFB] -- ('a' is a commonly used single letter)
    AT-43 = After Trauma, Year 43 [AT-43] -- (it uses a 'dash' symbol)
    b/c = Because [GEN] -- (it uses a forward-slash '/' symbol)
    I = Initiative Characteristic [40K,WHFB] -- ('I' is a commonly used single letter)
    HA = Heavy Armor [WHFB] -- ('has' is a commonly used word)
    LOCK = Warlocke [WM] -- ('lock' is a commonly used word)
    w/ = With [GEN] -- (it uses a forward-slash '/' symbol)

    Question, Why are there some in the main list that are white and give no definition?



    Previously, we were doing some tweaks on the glossary system that involved case sensitivity which caused some of the definitions to go offline for a bit. That is fixed now.

    Now, if you ever see any of the abbreviations in the 'master list' not displaying it is because they were just recently added to the system and it takes a few days for the database to incorporate the change.

    TWF = That was Fun!
    RWBM = Revenge Will Be MINE!



    Doing a quick search of the forums shows me that these abbreviations are not being used on Dakka. The goal of the glossary system is to provide clarity for abbreviations used on this forum, not simply to try to catalog every possible abbreviation.

    As I mentioned before, we aren't trying to add every single abbreviation known to man, only those that are commonly used on this forum that people new to the hobby wouldn't know about.


    As for everyone else, your suggestions have been added and will start showing up in a few days as the site cache is reset.

    I am thinking that ++ could tooltip as:
    Invulnerable Save [40k]
    Ward Save [WHFB]

    as many people seem to use this format (Like saying a TH/SS terminator has a 2+/3++ save) and it would help out people who don't know what it is.



    Yeah unfortunately the glossary can only be used for letters and numbers. No other symbols can be included.

    Ok, thought it might be useful to include the Tau Crisis suit configurations in these, since a lot of people don't know what they are.

    I know they're not acronyms, but they'd be useful, and surely the Glossary works with full words, right?

    Fireknife - Tau Crisis suit with Plasma Rifle, Multi-Tracker, Missile Pod [40k]

    Deathrain - Tau Crisis suit with twin linked Missile Pod, Drone Controller and 2 Gun Drones [40k]

    Sunforge - Tau Crisis suit with twin linked Fusion Blaster and Shield Generator [40k]

    Burning Eye - Tau Crisis suit with twin linked Plasma Rifle and Target Lock [40k]

    Blinding Spear - Tau Crisis suit with Plasma Rifle, Burst Cannon and Multi Tracker [40k]

    When I muster up the courage to do it. As you can see you posted this back in August and I'm getting around to adding a batch right now.

    I know its bad to say this, but if someone PMs me with a specific request to get something they put into this thread added, it often does prod me on to go and do it.

    But everything submitted in this thread should be entered and showing up in new threads shortly...with a few exceptions for some of the general terms suggested that I've never personally seen used on Dakka.

    Should we have a 'choose the intended meaning' thing? Just curious because we have got a lot of abbreviations now.

    More abbreviations - for Necron Cryptek users:

    HoT - Harbringers of Transmogrification
    HoS - Harbringers of the Storm
    HoE - Harbringers of Eternity

    I'm not sure about Harbringers of Despair or Destruction, because you would end up with something like HoDesp and HoDest. Unless you could think of a better solution.

    I've often stumbled across words around these forums, that I'd preferred had had a glossary attached.

    Often those are models, that have seen frequent use in many, many lists, and hence have had a nickname given. As those aren't always clear, it'd be nice to have these added to the glossary.

    These includes words, such as:
    Rifledread (Autocannon Dread)
    Psyfledread (Autocannon with Psy-ammo Dread)
    Dakkafex (Dual Twin-Linked Devourer Carnifex)
    Flyrant (Winged Hive Tyrant)
    Jetlock (Warlock on Jetbike)
    etc.

    Eventually, you catch on to these nicknames. But it'd be nice to have them added, as newer users won't always know the exact meaning of these.

    Hovering over BRB suggests Be Right Back or Big Red Book (WHFB).

    Can we add Basic Rule Book and reference 40k and WHFB? And any other system?
    Seems... limiting... to reference a specific color. That and, being colorblind, I try not to use color to denote things - so when I reference the BRB and someone says "The fantasy rulebook?" I get frustrated.

    Something should be decided on for the 6th edition rulebook. Whether this means using something like B6B or simply changing BRB's meaning to "Big RuleBook", I would suggest something is done so that we don't have to go to the trouble of writing out the whole of "6th ed rulebook"

    Edit: Also, LARP should be added. It may have nothing to do with tabletop wargameing, but it's still a frequent term.

    Since we have not had a special 5th edition version of the 40K BRB, or special separate versions of the 7th or 8th edition WFB BRB, we really have no reason to make this any more complicated than needed.

    BRB refers to the current rulebook, simple as that. If people want to talk about an out of date rulebook then they should clarify by "the 5th Ed BRB" the same way they would have to talk about 4th Ed right now.

    Big RuleBook would be a good addition. It seems the majority of people have been using BRB for 5th already, so that would be an easy chance to keep.

    Actually I've added most of those now. They'll start showing up in new threads started, but it will take a while for them to be seen in existing threads (like this one).

    The ones I didn't add were either due to the fact that I did a search and didn't see them in use or they used abbreviations that are too commonly used as regular words (like TO being Thermo-Optic, since 'to' is used way too frequently).

    The word "cronical" gives it more weight as opposed to "permanent" witch suggests that it is medical. I am not shure baout the word dissabillity but I can not come up with a better term.

    The suggestions are put forward from the discussion in this thread: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/505863.page


    In an effort to to help you out:

    "Dyslectic", "dyslexia" - "A chronic reading and writing disability."

    I never really see IF used in that context. If people want to shorten it, I usually just see "The Fists" or something along that lines. Confusion with the Crimson Fists I guess though...

    I haven't seen "Taucurion" used much, actually. I mostly hear Hunter Contingent or just Contingent.
    "Decurion" actually means something (A Roman cavalry officer or town council member), so replacing the "De" with something else makes no sense.

    This is irrelevant to the point (which was that Xcurion works because in this context the 'Decurion' term is not related to its original Roman usage). IOW, in a historical context Xcurion would make no sense, but here it does because it is just as bastardised either way.

    No, it doesn't. It was simply used to differentiate it from the discontinued Dark Ages clicky game. When it was discontinued, the necessity for the 'Classic' prefix was no longer there so the name changed back in subsequent print runs. Each and every 'Classic' BattleTech product was replaced with a new printing. At this point in time, there is no such thing as 'Classic' BattleTech. It is simply BattleTech.

    EPT = Elite Pilot Talent [X-Wing]

    Okay, most everything that was suggested (which actually gets any use on the site) since the last time I posted in this thread (June 2015, has it really been that long?) has been added.

    Thanks to everyone who still takes the time to suggest things in this thread, it is very, very helpful, even if they don't get added all that often.

    It can take a while for the stuff added to start showing up in new posts, so be patient...and it doesn't tend to repopulate old posts, so you'll only tend to see it added to new posts you make with those abbreviations.

    Just remember a couple things before you make suggestions:


    1) Any abbreviation that contains any kind of punctuation (including the & or : symbols) cannot be added to the system.

    2) Please make sure you use our 'search' function for any item you're suggesting and verify that it is actually being used regularly (by someone besides yourself). If it isn't being used regularly, then it isn't worth including (because every item added to the glossary does put a tiny bit more strain on our database).


    Thanks again!

    Yeah, there's definitely a lot of old stuff floating around in there, but its not really easy to print out a big list to post here for people to peruse (and its too much work for me alone to try to figure that stuff out). Plus, we do have a lot of old conversations found throughout the forums that if people do end up going back and reading (for whatever reason) its nice to possibly have those old abbreviations still clarified.

    Honestly, I think the best bet is just to let me know when you spot an abbreviation tip that is completely and totally irrelevant and I'll just change/remove those as needed.

    If you're going to suggest an abbreviation, you need to tell me what its from (don't make me hunt down what you're talking about).

    We only include abbreviations that are regularly used on the site. You need to use the 'search' function for every abbreviation you want to submit, and if it isn't regularly used by people (besides yourself), then it isn't a good candidate for inclusion. From what I can tell, 'HWR' has never been used on this site as 'Horus Was Right'.

    No worries, yakface - there were a few tooltips which were saying something about the tooltip not working properly, and the local cache needing updating, or something like that, when I went through the thread yesterday - unfortunately I got rid of my file of notes when I got to the end of the thread and realised the inactivity.

    I think DHG (for Dwarven HandGun) was one of them - is that a bug we need to be concerned about?

    I imagine a number of AoS faction acronyms are going to need to be added, at a minimum - SoB for "Sons of Behemat" being one example.

    Oops, sorry. Having kids will do that to you!

    I'll take a pass and add all the ones suggested since I last posted (yes, many years ago), and if anyone wants to add new stuff just keep posting (and you can PM me if you don't see any response from me after a week or two).

    Also, if people noice outdated terms in the tooltip pop-up that are no longer relevant for that game please let me know those as well so I can delete them.


    Thanks and sorry again!



    Yay, you're back!

    Is this thread still in use?

    If it is, there are a few things missing for orks and DG:
    LoC - Lord of Contagion
    PBC - Plagueburst Crawler
    MBH - Myphitic Blight-Hauler

    KBB - Kustom Boosta-blasta
    SJD - Shokkjump Dragsta

    Maybe unnecessary, but those keep getting used more often now:
    BM - Bad Moons
    DS - Deathskulls
    ES - Evil Sunz


    BM didn't really stick, especially with them falling out of favor with 9th. All others are still commonly used.

    Some new ones:
    DDD - the ork's army rule DakkaDakkaDakka
    GT2020 and GT2021 - GW's mission packs
    DTTFE/DttFE) - Death to the False Emperor (CSM)
    LoW - Lord of War
    SHA - Super Heavy Auxiliary Detachment
    LoV - Lord of Virulence (new DG HQ)
    PM - Plague Marine

    And maybe add "Drukhari" to the explanation of what DE means - some people don't know that they used to be Dark Eldar
    Same for IG and Astra Militarum

    I think DHG (for Dwarven HandGun) was one of them - is that a bug we need to be concerned about?

    I imagine a number of AoS faction acronyms are going to need to be added, at a minimum - SoB for "Sons of Behemat" being one example.

    No worries yet on the strange tooltip notifications, I just need to refresh the glossary cache (which can take a while to do). If you're still seeing that message on some tooltips after that, then we'll need to get Legoburner to investigate further.

    Just a reminder, especially now that I'm not really keeping up with 40K (and especially Aos), the info I need to add something to the glossary is:

    1) The abbreviation itself.
    2) The description of what that abbreviation means.
    3) The FULL current faction name that the item belongs to (if it is faction specific).
    4) The name of the game that item is part of.
    5) For you to use the Dakka Search (found in 'forum tools) to check and verify that the abbreviation is being commonly used by someone besides yourself.

    So for something like DHG '(for Dwarven HandGun)' I need to know what faction and/or game that belongs to. Just saying 'Dwarven' is not good enough because I have no idea what the Dwarf factions in AoS are called now or if maybe you're talking about Mantic dwarves for example. Plus according to a quick search 'DHG' isn't being regularly used, so I wouldn't bother adding it anyway.

    DHG isn't one for you to add, yakface, but an example of one that's misbehaving - it shows for me as throwing that cache error in this post earlier in this thread, but I have no idea off-hand if it is one that's needed.

    I'll see if I can pull you a list of AOS faction acronyms together over the weekend, despite not playing the game myself.

    No worries, all the stuff you suggested was very straightforward (Deathguard & Orks), so I didn't have any trouble with it.

    Can someone tell me what does 'EGT' mean in relation to Orks? And it sure seems like the use of that abbreviation for 'Eldar Grav Tank' is no longer used, correct?

    "Endless Green Tide" a stratagem that allows you to replenish a unit of boyz. I wouldn't rush adding that though, the codex is due soon and that particular stratagem might not make it.

    VC - Vampire Counts should be changed to [AoS] and/or [WHFB] from [GEN]. Likely [AoS/WHFB] since they will certainly be included in the returning Old World game they're working on.

    The Old World game will not be a part of the Age of Sigmar setting, nor are the Vampire Counts which are now covered by the Soulblight Gravelords (SBGL) faction.

    My apologies, I didn't realize there was a glossary term for SBGL. Still, if the reasoning for not marking them AoS is that they are not called that in AoS, why are they not marked WHFB instead of GEN and why is TK marked AoS instead of WHFB since they don't even exist anymore in AoS?

    On to the reason I actually came here today, can we get a glossary term for whatever CONUS is? I've seen it a number of times in the swap shop and still don't know what it means.

    That would be 'continental united states' (I had to google search for it as well). I can add it though. Seems like it gets decent enough use in the swap shop.

    Interesting and very surprising. Less surprising that they were last updated 2.75 years ago. By that logic though, so is Vampire Counts right next to them. They're even both equally up to date, with both being marked as updated last on 1/3/2019.

    Have you looked at the Vampire Counts document? It is a whole two warscrolls with pitched battle profiles and a list of 14 substitute warscrolls (mostly with the 'Leader' battlefield role). It is not a playable force by itself like the Tomb Kings document is.
