Slang

Like all online games, World of Warcraft has developed a rich, fairly cohesive glossary of slang terms to describe various items and events in the game. Some are specific to WoW, while others are shared with many other MMORPGs.

If you wonder what a clothie, a healbot, or a meat shield is, or what someone is up to when they're using a sword and board, or what tanking and spanking something means, your best place to look is the game terms category. If it doesn't have them all, it certainly has most.
