New to SL or English not your first language? Then the SLictionary will help!

[Carmsie Melodie]

Second Life has its own unique terms and abbreviations. These can be confusing if you are new to SL or if English is not your first language. Learning these terms will help you follow people's chat and understand what is being said.

The full version of the SLictionary is available to everyone here.  A shorter, in-world (note card) copy of the SLictionary is also available for free on SL Marketplace

Let me know if there are any terms that have been missed and I'll add them ... thanks!

You missed the two most important words:

SLex

teh secks

 

But I guess everyone who comes to SL already knows these.  

Or why else would they be here.

and along those lines...where's pixelbump?

[Canoro Philipp]

are pixel bumps 'sculpties' for small breasted avatars?

Nice idea.  I picked up the notecard version.  Most of the terms therein are not specific to SL, but OK, it is helpful nonetheless.

Gesturebate

Stream

Poseballs

HUD

The above are SL-related.  Perhaps you have them listed in your longer version.

Anyway, good luck!

Ahem, those are not the only 'bumps'.  Think of the male avatar (like you).  /me smiles wickedly

Nice initiative.... one small remark though. You say that Second Life has its own unique terms and abbreviations, but many of those terms and abbreviations are not limited to Second Life. Most of the things mentioned are Internet-, SMS/Text-, Facebook- or MSN-language.

Second Life brought many new things, but not those.... :smileyvery-happy:

details details ... haha ... if people are 'new' to virtual worlds or to online chat ... many of the terms are new to them ... but thanks for the correction

[Carmsie Melodie]
