flip.
Not only in GW, but in real life. For some reason everyone is using this word. You listen to sports talk radio and they talk about teams flipping players. In real estate they talk about flipping properties. Where I work, I wait tables. They want us to flip tables as much as possible.
And finally in GW, in a team tonight someone said "give me a minute, I have to flip my skills".
Let's not let this one get as overused as the phrase "thrown under the bus".
Most hated Guild wars 'words.'

pwn and pwnage - just makes the person using it look thick. Whats the point of just changing one letter to misspell a word, especially when the new letter is right next to it on the keyboard? just looks like a typo.
Although thinking about it, there's lots of stupid things like mixing letters and numbers - just type it normally, I don't speak moron.

Since folks are including phrases found in forum posts, this one is getting on my nerves:
"RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO "
I rarely even get what it means in the context of the thread. Its like ... someone at one time had a clever remark about a repetitive statement, and it was then copied into the macros and text files of all those who read it so that it could be summoned into a post without any thought as to what the hell they were saying, but oh...it looks really big and important in all caps and everything. Kinda like:
"OMFGBBQROFLMAO!!!!1111oneoneoneeleven"
Thank you for allowing me to get that off my chest. kthxbye

"RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO " is actually auto inserted in place of the "f" word here on these forums.

People too lazy, or too ignorant, to come up with something other than "WTF" or "OMFG" need removing, along with the 'words'.

Please let's not make swearing a part of our de-facto langauge. Why use words or phrases in front of people you don't know when you wouldn't use them in normal polite company? Your first day at school, or work, you don't go cursing out loud because you don't understand something... it makes you look foolish, or unable to deal with the situation. Get a grip.

-Nub. Such a ridiculous variation of "noob", IMO.
-PAWNED. Another ridiculous variaiton of pwnd, of which doesn't work too well.
-kk. Why are there two K's, anyway? No idea. I've always justed used one K.
-kthxbye. Abused use of abbreviations. Example of a truly lazy person, lol.
-IDS. IWAY. All that stuff.

I'm a calm and relaxed person, but whenever someone cries at an outpost "LFG THAT HAS NO NOOBS, ----ING NUBS RUIN MISH", I feel like drowning some kittens. (Trigger words being noob-variants and mish)

GOD WHY CAN'T PEOPLE JUST TYPE ONE MORE LETTER?
Sorry, but it annoys me to no end.. It actually makes me angry to read it because it sounds SO stupid. Especially when its written in this sentence or any variation of it: "OMFG N00B WAT TEH **** R U DOIN? HEAL ME N00B!" </endrant>
Makes me want to gouge my eyes out so I can stop reading it >_>

2. None of those are exclusive to Guild Wars.

Pro, professional.
As in 'Pro runner' or 'professional farming party'
Show me your paycheck, or your sponsor contract. You're not professionals, you're kids with too much time on their hands playing a game. (Unless you're selling on eBay, in which case I still hate the words but for complete different reasons I don't think I need to go into.)

Ugh, I hate the way people use over the top laughter exclamations. This applies to the internet in general.
"lol" is acceptable but only just, at least this could be true.
"rofl" should be shot, the amount of people who ACTUALLY roll on the floor from laughter is minimal, and 99% of the minority is locked away.
"lmao" is stupid too, it's completely unviable that you did laugh your ass off. You more than likely got so excited over a group of pixels you shat yourself.
"roflmao" let's not even go there.
"lolololololol" laughing out loud out loud out loud out loud out loud...Erm, k?
I'm sure there's more but these are the most widespread.
Oh, the other thing...what is "RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE...etc" ?

I'm 32 years old and only pick up on a game once in a while so I'm not up to speed on all the internet/gaming abbreviations and l33t crap out there so like someone else mentioned in this thread, it takes me some time to figure out some of this stuff. As far as being annoyed by them I really don't get too annoyed at most of the stuff, but the one lately that I really don't like is "pwnd" or any form of that.
It's just kinda funny to see that the internet has developed its own "dialect" of english over the years.

Personal hatred:
rediculous and variants (its rId! with an I!);
rouge (unless you are actually both French and red, i think you are probably after the word "rogue");
OMFG;
the needless addition of z and 0rz;
using "da" instead of "the";
the use of numbers instead of letters;
the use of letters instead of words ("u" instead of "you" in particular)

I agree with all of the above and I'd like to add one as well.
Don't you SF-farmers just love the obligatory grats/gratz/congrats/congratz after a supposedly good drop, especially when it's due to a green drop for your char in Grenth's Footprint in the shape of Gorrel's Cane or Flint's Wand. I mean; what are we celebrating here? The 35g the merchant will give me for the damn thing? ANY green is NOT a good drop worth congratulating someone for.
Does this just happen on European servers or is it the same "over there"?
