What are squats?

What are space puppies?

What is this cheese everybody talks about?

What are smurfs? (I'm assuming you don't mean those adorable little blue men)

Meta game?

Trolling?

Space Dwarves. They were one of the original 40K races (mutated humans living on high-gravity mining worlds)that were dropped after 2nd edition as GW couldn't figure out a direction for them.

What are space puppies?

Space Wolves.

What is this cheese everybody talks about?

'Cheese' is a term for anything abusive. Units or armies that are seen as being more powerful than they should be due to dodgy rules or unforeseen combinations of rules is often described as cheesy.

Also erroneously applied to anything that a player perceives as being too strong, whether justified or not.

What are smurfs? (I'm assuming you don't mean those adorable little blue men)

Ultramarines. Because they're Smurf-blue.

A race of space dwarves that GW killed off

What are space puppies?

Space Wolves

What is this cheese everybody talks about?

What the user perceives as an overpowered unit, ability, weapon, list, etc.

What are smurfs? (I'm assuming you don't mean those adorable little blue men)

Ultramarine Space Marines or standard run of the mill Codex Astartes.

Edit: Arg, beaten by 9 seconds!

Squats were "space dwarves" the way Eldar are "space elves". GW decided to get rid of them back in the 90s. I think they finally lost any official rules when 2nd edition 40k gave way to 3rd edition in 1998.

Space puppies is just a friendly nickname for Space Wolves.

Cheese means an army or unit or combination of units or special rule that the speaker thinks is overpowered and reduces his enjoyment of the game.

Smurfs is a nickname for Ultramarines, as they also are blue, and the actual figures are also small.

Thank you for this super awesome insight.
I feel as if I am closer to Dakka now.
What about meta game?

Thanks Mannahnin!
What does trolling mean?

Trolling is making deliberately antagonistic posts, or just posting to be a nuisance.

Trolling is a general term for when someone posts deliberately inflammatory, abusive, and/or irrelevant/off-topic information meant to insult or instigate a fight rather than presenting useful information or discussion.

Insaniak is a turd, and should go lay out in the yard like a turd.
