Hello everyone! As you (probably) know, there is a lot of slang used on the forums, and it can be kinda weird if you're new to D&D Beyond. Also, many people have nicknames, those will also be on the list. I am creating it to make it easier for people to navigate the forums. Please respond with any additions to the list and what they mean. And with that, the list begins...
Intro: To introduce your character to a roleplaying thread.
[yep] or [gp]: A stand-in for curse words, always written in brackets or parenthesis.
RP: roleplay, (this one is pretty obvious)
Ninja/ninja'ed: an occurrence of two people posting at the same time responding to the same thing. Most often occurs on threads in forum games.
Boink (also bump): To push a thread up to get more views or for possible thread necromancy (see below)
Thread Necromancy: the act of posting on an inactive thread in an attempt to make it active again (see: boink.)
Tavern: A roleplay thread commonly found on Adohand's Kitchen, usually taking place in a tavern, hence the name, but not a requirement.
Roleplay Thread: A less formal Play By Post, no character sheets usually needed.
Sig: Signature.
PfP: Profile picture.
Char: An abbreviation for character.
Cult: A lighthearted thread dedicated to a specific topic, usually something random. (click the PRAISE JEFF link in my signature for an example)
PbP: Play-by-post games are commonly referred to as PbP.
TPK: Total Party Kill, when the entire party dies in one session.
BBEG: Big Bad Evil Guy, the main boss of a campaign.
Nicknames (if I don't have yours, ask. If I get yours wrong, sorry, please correct me)
Hi all, I'm Druid_Girl31, but please call me Druid. I am (a/an) CERTIFIED INSOMNIAC, PAN, alterhuman,BADDD DM, and obsessed with HAMILTON! Why? I'm just cool like that!
My name’s Gradius, this is my second account :P I love Hollow Knight and I have been on ddb for a while. Come rp with me anytime! It is my purpose. My title that was given to me by Drummer is…SPIRIT OF THE WEST, GUARDIAN OF THE HOLLOWS.
No cost too great. No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering. Born of God and Void.

Oh, someone made the thread dictionary! I was planning on making one but I forgot about it, tbh.
(Gp)/(Yep) can also be written in parentheses.
Ninja- an occurrence of two people posting at the same time responding to the same thing. Most often occurs on '___ the person above you' threads in forum games.

Hi! I'm EJO. I am a silly billy who forgets to play Genshin Impact every day totally DOESN'T simp for at least three different ninja girls. Some other facts about me:
I main Milio in League of Legends, and therefore have extreme anxiety whenever my glass cannon Vayne main teammate charges at the enemy while I'm at the spawn zone.
My average accuracy in Marvel Rivals is about 19%.
If anyone says the words "Spider man lord" in my presence I will immediately lock myself in my room.

Also, I was wondering, what does TPK stand for? (I'm a little new so sorry if this's a stupid question)

Hello! I am a perfectly sane gibberer. Hi! :D
Locations are dead, the Temple of Potassium has fallen but its ideals live on
A mysterious link of chain... (Extended signature). PRAISE JEFF THE EVIL ROOMBA! REALLY cool video.
One of the Warlock Patrons on the forums. Low, low price of your soul, your firstborn child and your liver!
Titles: The Echoing Story Spewer from Drummer, the Endless Maws from Isis, the Mad Murderer from PJ
Boink-To knock a thread up to get more views or for possible thread necromancy
What's life without a little war to spice things up? Anyone who worries about the little things should notice the bigger picture.
I am (As drummerboy stated) The master of many faces, The unseen puppeteer, The illumination, & The unnoticed influence.
Favorite games series: Dark Souls. Shirtless Solaire. Best best game series of all time: Paper Mario. Fight me about it.
