Quote from: ragda from TCG
Welcome back to a new revamped Guide to Shorthands and Acronyms (ft. other YGO slang). I hope to share with you the kind of words players use these days, ranging from acronyms and abbreviations to shorthands and slangs as part of their lingo.

I'm sure there are entries that aren't too common these days, but I'm sure someone appreciates them being on this list. As well, I can't say I got every feasible entry out there, so feel free to comment and let me know what should be added, provided it's reasonably used or common enough to warrant addition.

A lot of these are...unnecessary. The thread is a great idea but what it needs is not card abbreviations but YGO vernacular like scoop, pick up, sacky.

IT has that, but he is revamping it and de-cluttering some of the less needed vernacular, as such he only has so much posted up at a time thats updated. As Ragda updates this on it's home site I will mirror it here. I know he plans to do famous decks shorthands( tele-dad, goat, ect...)as well as common phrases (such as scoop, sack, pop and such).

I have more threads to add, but for now this is all I can manage tonight,(long 16.5 hour day....)

I think a lotta the names are unnecessary. I mean, if you can't figure out what "Barkion" is... I think you might wanna learn how to read first.

New players are not always as smart as WE old players WANT to give them credit for. Besides that, someone may not have faced barkion before and could be confused. either way it's just common shorthands.
