Yeah that’s a good one. In EQ it was just a low level character stacked with high end gear funded by a main.
Now if someone hears “twink” outside of old MMOs they’d think something completely different.
Funny how the same word can evolve like that depending on the community.

Twink is still a really popular term in WoW. We just clipped a friend a couple of weeks ago because he was talking about how much he loves twinks

I think one word that was really popular back in the EQ era... that I don't think I've ever seen anyone use since then would be... "WOOT." Now for all I know maybe Woot is still a commonly used term or phrase, and I'm just out of touch, but from my perspective it's something that went away almost entirely. For a social experiment I'm tempted to just start saying it again to see if my friend group adopts it. A lot of them seem to copy my boomer phrases and words already.
