The 'slang dictionary is a list of informal words, expressions, and abbreviations that are commonly used only inRuneScape. It is incomplete, and never will be complete because of RuneScapes constantly changing vocabulary and community, so please add to it. For the rules associated with this article, please visit the rules. For the list of terms and abbreviations specifically relating to Dungeoneering only please see here.
RulesEdit[]
This slang dictionary only uses RuneScape terms. For a more general slang dictionary, or for terms not covered here, please use Urban Dictionary.
The popular Slang Dictionary article is among the most edited article on the wiki. However, this means that the article is prone to vandalism as well as punctuation and spelling errors. If you notice any errors in the Slang Dictionary or an entry is poorly written, please help the RuneScape Wiki by fixing the issue. Any vandalism must be dealt with immediately.
Previously, the slang dictionary allowed slang terms that were not related exclusively to RuneScape. However after acommunity discussion, it was decided that this was not a sustainable practice. As such, only slang which relates exclusively to RuneScape content or practices can be added. Slang not related exclusively to RuneScape can be researched on Urban Dictionary, but may not be added here.
