We compiled what we hope will be a useful recource for anyone who gets confused about some X-Wing terms and slang. Check it out here, and let us know if you can think of anything else we should add.

A couple more to add;

PA -Pattern Analyzer

Heroic! - Exclamation when someone rolls all blanks; even if they’re not flying Resistance.

Might be useful to finish the definition of MOV, as I've seen people -- including long-time players -- confused as to how to calculate it.

Specifically, MOV for the winner is "Points-destroyed minus opponent's-points destroyed, plus 200." MOV for the loser is "400 minus winner's MOV." (There are other ways to calculate it, but this is the simplest for me.)

Adding something about calculating MOV is a great suggestion. I'll get on as soon as I have time.

My favorite, even though it is not exclusive to XWing but does come up a lot on this forum, is TL;DR. I think it means too long did not read and typically it proceeds someone’s comment about a thread that was TL and they DR. absolutely hilarious.

oh and Isn’t Fat Han a subtype of Fat, even though it was the first fat build. I feel like your definition shows rebel bias. Oh and lack of defining rebel bias also shows rebel bias.

Gotta get the Bulbasaur/other silly names in there for the Belbullab-22!

Great work on the list!

Yeah, Fat Han was chosen basically because it was the ur example.

TL;DR is a good suggestion. I'll add that in too.

BBR - Bendy Barrel Roll; a barrel roll performed using a 1 bank template per the Microthrusters rule.

Fantastic list! Our group just had a couple wayward gamers getting back in and this will be very helpful. Thank you.

Although it is no longer legal, would it be possible to include the phrase Cloak and Choke? The effect was terrible but it would be nice if the poetry of the phrase was remembered in the lexicon.

While you’re right that it means Too Long; Didn’t Read, and it can be used in that context, it’s typical use is for somebody who’s posting paragraphs upon paragraphs, and wants to provide a summary at the end of their post.

I've seen it used at the beginning of a post with the same intention of giving a quick summary for the skimmers.

Or the beginning, fine

Oh, it was more funny when I thought they were admitting they hadn't read the post but still wanted to give their opinion. Yeah if it also means a summary then you should define it....

Added a couple of the suggestions, left off TL;DR and BBR as Too Long Didn't Read is common internet parlance and not exclusive to X-wing, and most people say bendy barrel roll instead of BBR.

one I had to ask on hearing it used often was "proc"...that was a new one for me lol. I inferred the meaning, but wasn't sure of the background, which I guess is a programming term, or so I was told.

nice list overall
