      [b]VoG[/b] - Vault of Glass (Raid) [b]VoC[/b] - Vision of Concluence (Raid Weapon, Scout Rifle) [b]CE[/b] - Crota's End (Raid) [b]CP[/b] - Checkpoint [b]OP[/b] - When referring to a poster it means Original Poster, when referring to anything in game it means Over Powered [b]Bat Fly[/b] - Swing sword or Aegis relics while in the air to essentially air dash, makes getting away from enemies in the raid a lot easier. [b]DPS[/b] - Damage per second, currently being used most commonly to signal when to start firing at Crota to take down his shield. [b]FR[/b] - Fusion Rifles, the bane of pvp and easily the most infuriating way to be killed in pvp [b]The Vex[/b] - Vex is an alien race in the game but when someone refers to "the vex" most likely they are are talking about the Vex Mythoclast [b]TLW[/b] - The last word, a really good hand cannon. Really shines in pvp/crucible. [b]The Horn[/b] - Gjallahorn rocket launcher, nuff said [b]LFG[/b] - Looking for group, either for pvp or pve [b]Cheese[/b] - Describes a method used to complete an objective using exploits in the game, and/or unorthodox tactics such as wiping and reviving at an opportune time. Some cheese methods have been fixed by Bungie, most famously the ability to push the templar off the map. [b]Raid Glitches[/b] - This isn't necessarily jargon per say, but glitches that are extremely famous due to their ability to literally derail an otherwise successful attempt at defeating a raid run. Unfortunately these glitches don't receive the same attention from Bungie as cheeses do. [b]Earn[/b] - A term used by people to describe obtaining a loot drop from a randomly generated number system [b]Xern or Xurn[/b] - A term used by "earners" (aka crybabies) to belittle other players who purchased their same weapon that made them feel special from Xur. [b]Crydays[/b] - Fridays, a day of the week Xur returns to the tower to sell his goods; soon followed by a lot "earners" crying on the forums about their weapon they received through a random number generating system being sold by Xur.

          • [b]GHORN[/b] - Short for Gjallarhorn, arguably the best weapon in the game. [b]SGA[/b] - Super Good Advice, post-buff a great machine gun. [b]P&T[/b] - Patience and Time, an exotic Sniper Rifle. [b]Shield![/b] - Often shouted when the shield of a certain enemy is brought down, so that others can help get the final blow and take him down.
