Since I have been seeing a lot of terms that are commonly used on this site (or other AC sites) that aren't that common, I decided to come up with a thread with all the commonly used terms and what their definitions are. If you don't know what some of these terms mean, you may see the list of terms that are commonly said on this site and what they mean:
This list will get longer when I see more commonly used terms on this site that others may not understand. In-game terms that are commonly used on AC sites (such as TT or TTing) are allowed and will be added if anyone suggests them.
