I am starting to get lost in all of the AH lingo. There seems to be a new 'word' every week. This thread was created to give some of the newer players a dictionary for cruising the forums and playing AH. You vets please contribute as many as you can, as well as make up new ones that could be used in the game. Have fun

auger - crash
For some reason, somewhere along the way, the term "auger" changed to include both intentional and unintentional crashes. It used to imply an intentional crash, and that's the way I prefer to still use it.
-
I always took auger to mean someone who has spun in (like an auger).

From 'urbandictionary.com'
A word which gamers use to indicate that someone was brutally beaten in a video game, and thus humiliated. A variation of the word "owned". The only reason that this word came about was because of a typo, and given that P and O are right next to each other. It has nothing to do with combining words or anything of the sort. It is rumored to have come about from an early Warcraft3 map, in which the creator meant to have a trigger say "Player X got ownd", trying to use the "1337speak" variation of "owned", but hit P instead of O, thus giving birth to "pwnd".
