π Skol
β»οΈGood health
Skol is a Scandinavian greeting similar to cheers that means "good health". The term is often used to toast or salute a person.
The term is commonly used in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark when drinking to good health. It appears as "skΓ₯l" in Norwegian, Swedish, and Danish. It is also used in Iceland where it appears as "skΓ‘l".
In the sports world, skol is famously used by the Minnesota Vikings NFL team as a way to urge the team on to victory. The team uses it in their "Skol, Vikings" fight song and fans often salute each other with the saying. Some believe that the term was used by real Vikings during the middle ages. It comes from "skoll", which is the human skull of a fallen enemy that the victorious Vikings would drink from as a sign of respect.
βExample
"To long life and happiness. Skol!"

π OP
β»οΈOverpowered
Gamers use OP to discuss items, skills, characters, and bosses that are "overpowered." Being OP is generally not a good thing - as gamers prefer the games they play to be balanced contests of skill, and not decided by one overpowered game element.
In online games, patches often add new characters, classes, or other elements that are OP in comparison to other elements. For example, League of Legends (LOL) routinely adds new champion s that are initially OP, before being nerfed in later patches. (After players have already purchased them, funny how that happens.)
However, gamers (especially noobs) tend to overuse the term OP. Salty players may claim a certain game element is OP when, in reality, they're just sore losers.
βExample
Death knights are so OP now after that last patch. It's totally unfair.

Netizens use TIL to mean "today I learned." Most commonly, you'll see this acronym used on Reddit, at the start of posts in which a user states something they recently learned. Most of these posts can be found in the r/todayilearned subreddit.
For example, a Redditor who recently found out about Dolly Parton's sleeping habits may post "TIL Dolly Parton sleeps in makeup, in case she has to go outside immediately after waking up." Other Redditors often comment on TIL posts, to relate their feelings about the stated factoid or share related facts.
Twitter, Facebook, and other social media users also use TIL, in much the same way Redditors do. On other sites, however, TIL may instead appear after a factoid, as a quick coda to a user's post.

TTYL is commonly used when texting and messaging online to say, "Talk to you later" at the end of a conversation. It is one of several variations, including "TTUL," "T2UL," and "t2ul8r."
Most people send it to others they think they will talk to again at another point in time, such as a friend or acquaintance. They may have just ended an online gaming match or need to go into a meeting and can't talk until later.
TTYL is ambiguous since "later" is very subjective. It could refer to a period of time in minutes, hours, days, weeks, or even months. You'll need to discern the immediacy of the "later" from the context of your conversation.
βExample
I'll pick you up tonite around 8, cool?

π Banger
β»οΈAn awesome, energetic piece of media
People typically use the term banger to refer to a high-energy, tightly-crafted song. Bangers are often but definitely not always pop songs, featuring highly infectious beats. Whatever the genre, the true mark of a banger is that it makes listeners want to get up and dance - or at the very least, bang their head in time with the music.
Over time, Internet users have expanded banger's meaning such that it can be applied to almost any form of media. For example, a fan of Adventure Time might say a very good episode of that show is a banger. In this sense, banger now means "awesome" or "a classic," in addition to its original, music-specific meaning.
Other meanings of banger
The word banger has a few other meanings, which are used less frequently than the one described above. For instance, in the UK, banger is another word for "sausage." Also, those discussing members of a gang may refer to the gang members as "bangers," which is short for "gang bangers." Context should help you sort out whether you're discussing media, sausage, gangsters, or something else entirely.

π Griefer
β»οΈAn irritating player
In multiplayer video games, a griefer is a player whose primary objective is not to win, but to harass other players. Griefers go out of their way to troll their teammates and/or their opponents, by purposefully performing antagonistic behaviors.
Some examples of griefing include:
Playing incredibly slowly to waste other players' time
Purposefully killing teammates with friendly fire
Stealing other players' items or kills
Destroying other players' creations in sandbox games (like Minecraft)
Sharing teammates' positions with opponents
Often, griefing involves using a game element or mechanic in an abusive or unintended way. For example, in a game in which players can message their teammates, griefers may spam distasteful messages, turning a normally-helpful feature into an annoyance.
βExample
What a griefer, the admin needs to block this DA!

What does griefer mean?
β»οΈAn irritating player
In multiplayer video games, a griefer is a player whose primary objective is not to win, but to harass other players. Griefers go out of their way to troll their teammates and/or their opponents, by purposefully performing antagonistic behaviors.
Some examples of griefing include:
Playing incredibly slowly to waste other players' time
Purposefully killing teammates with friendly fire
Stealing other players' items or kills
Destroying other players' creations in sandbox games (like Minecraft)
Sharing teammates' positions with opponents
Often, griefing involves using a game element or mechanic in an abusive or unintended way. For example, in a game in which players can message their teammates, griefers may spam distasteful messages, turning a normally-helpful feature into an annoyance.
βExample
What a griefer, the admin needs to block this DA!

π Retweet Offender
β»οΈA person who constantly retweets on Twitter
A slang word for a person who retweets a lot on Twitter.
A retweet offender can be very annoying on Twitter as he repeatedly fills up feeds with retweets of other user's tweets. Retweet offender's usually get unfollowed pretty quickly, which is necessary in order to discourage their destructive behavior.
βExample
I realized after about a day of following Joe that he was a retweet offender so I unfollowed him right away.
