What EverQuest slang would completely confuse modern gamers?

Was randomly thinking about how different MMO language used to be back in classic EQ days.

Stuff like “train to zone,” “camp check,” “twink,” “CR,” even just yelling “INC!”

If someone who only played modern games jumped into P99, what phrases do you think would completely confuse them?

Curious what old terms people forgot about.

I brought a few friends recently into the game and it's really just the sheer volume of abbreviations.

But in terms of like, what they mean, I mean everquest is pretty fuckin simple. It wasn't confusing to them to understand that camps are a thing and people do camp checks to see who is where.

The biggest hurdle is not knowing what all the abbreviations mean and what is/isn't common courtesies such as announcing trains. That and the / commands. And the settings menu.

There just isn't really any resources in-game that explain them and you can't access the settings menu without knowing the incantation to do so.
