I created this dictionary with people who are new here in mind. So those of you who've been here awhile, don't complain. This thread is for those of you who are new here and get confused with certain popular internet abbreviations used on bungie.net. These are aplhabetized for your convenience. When I was new here, there were some abbreviations i did not know, so I hope this helps. Any suggestions for things i could add to the dictionary will be accepted, just as long as none of them are inappropriate.

*[b]Update[/b]* I've given credit to some of the suggestions, go and take a look. Tell me if it makes it harder to maneuver throughout the dictionary and i'll get rid of them.

ATM = at the moment BWO = Black Water Ops TGP = The General Public B5D = Facility B5D* R7 = Real 7alk** T7 = The 7th Wonder HC = Halo Charts Not sure what else I missed. Those are the major groups I can think of right now. [i]*I'm not sure if they technically have an abbreviation but I know that cali kritical change his tag to B5D kritical. or something like that. **Pronounced Real Talk[/i] ~ii [Edited on 06.20.2009 10:40 PM PDT]

Nice, good suggestions Burton.

I have never used or heard anyone use about 60% of these.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] TKD Tormentor I have never used or heard anyone use about 60% of these.[/quote] Have you ever looked in a normal dictionary? About 70% of the words in a dictionary are never used. Remember, this is an abbreviation dictionary, a lot of it is going to be abbreviations never used. However, you can start using them.

Butt doesn't start with an "A"..... I don't get it!

Soz - Sorry LOLBNR - Laugh out loud but not really SSO - Spartan Special Ops (Large Group) MPP - My pretty pony MMP - Mythic Map Pack

O4B - ODST 4th Battalion

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] stupidwimp Nice thread shadow, I honestly think bungie should pin this or something so that people will see it and use it as a resource. I don't have any suggestions, sorry.[/quote] Um, thanks. It kinda already can be seen and used as a resource. But i guess it could be made more widely available.
