i've always used mob as like mobster, part of a faction.

crushbone has a lot of orc mobs

Mob was a programming term given to Mobile Objects afaik.

Proc was related to process as the weapon function would process.

I remember Toon being used on EQ before WoW ever came out. i used it occasionally then
After WoW, it was alot easier to associate "Toon" with characters because their characters actually looked like cartoons... so now its a WoW thing and i use it almost always now since WoW released.

Never used "char" as a shortcut cuz for some reason i see that as "Shar" or maybe like charred, not "Kare" for character
and imo doesnt look like an abbreviation, more like another word.
so i use toon lol
