Quick Yu-gi-oh Terminology Question?

Question

This is inspired by a comment someone made on my previous question. The point to his premise is valid. I love the game of Yu-gi-oh. I'm willing to admit that, the show is another matter I might get into later. I've played and collected for about 6-8 years, and have only been to 5 tournaments. Is it just me, or does everyone speak another language at those places. They say D-MOC, I say hu? They say "I sac," I think, "Who are you firing?"
Why do I go into these places and feel like I'm in a different country? Please people, I'm I the only one out there who thinks this?

Answer 1

Terminology makes things simpler depending on how often you here it. Rather than say the whole name ppl tend to shorten it.



As for does any1 else think this i personally prefer it but i understand where your comin from. It's gonna be hard to get it straght away but go often enough an i garentee u urself will start using it.



examples of other terminology- Cookie, Staple, Beatstick, Trampler,Breakthrough. These are just a few of many. As 8i say ppl sorten name's aswell so instead of say heavy storm they'd just say Storm. Completely understand where your coming.

Answer 2

I can understand where you are coming from being that you are new to the tournament scene. I mean being to only 5 tourneys in 8 years is definitely not alot. lol.



There are alot of terms I didn't know as well when I started to go to my local shop, but as you continually go and make friends there you will learn everything you need to know.



About 2 years ago I didn't know what the term Mill meant. It means to Deckout your opponent, which in turn means to make them run out of cards and win the duel. I didn't know what a Beatstick was. A Beatstick is basically any monster that takes no skill to play. A monster you use with a very high attack that you can easily summon to beatdown your opponent. Examples of this are all of the 4 star Normal monsters with 1900 atk points. I'm not gonna go through them all because there are alot. A simple suggestion to you is why don't you just ask them what it means. Most people are nice enough to give you a proper answer.



By the way, to answer your other questions about DMOC and "I sac":



DMOC stands for Dark Magician of Chaos.



The term "I sac" is short for "I sacrifice" or to use actual Yu-Gi-Oh terms, they are "Tributing" their monsters to Normal Summon or Set.
