I'm against your inclusion of 'gay/homo/******' in there; it's simple ignorance.

Rape : Utterly destroying an enemy
Newb : Someone new to the game
Noob : Someone who sucks at the game and refuses to get better or is otherwise annoying
Goomba Stomping : Killing an enemy by jumping on their head; meleeing them is optional

Also, in my experience, "Whore" is usually added on to a word, such as "Sticky Whore" for Demomen who only use the Sticky launcher. It's a feature that's incredibly unbalanced (In the Console version, at least) that, when spammed, can destroy entire enemy teams regardless of skill. Otherwise, 'Whore' is just an insult...
Stickyjumping is retarded, Pipebomb jumping is for REAL men!

You should add the variations of spawncamper, such as spawnkill or spawnrape.

Other than that, you got everything I can think of, really good job.

EDIT: Or, add a new definition to the words above:

Spanwkill/spawnrape: The act of spawncamping.

Do I sense sarcasm?

No, no, I'm talking about those who would throw stickies and detonate 'em mid air. It's hopelessly overpowered on the 360 IIRC, and a single sticky whore can bring an entire team to its' knees.

Here's one my friend uses frequently:

No-man's Land - A game's online multiplayer community consisting of only a few people who are so good at the game that no one else wishes to play the game anymore.

EDIT: Here's my definition of Blindsided:

Blindsided - The act of looking and one direction, then getting killed as soon as you look in the opposite direction.

Callouts - spesific parts of a map used to give other players the positions of enemy players.

You need leet on there, or 1337. From elite, a really good player.
Nonono.
1337 - 1)a player who thinks that bec4u53 th3y 741k 1iek 7h15, they're automatically better
2) The dialect used by such people.

Frak - from BSG - frequently used to replace fuck by those uncomfortable with swearing online.

Zerg Rush.
When every enemy comes at you and only you. regardless of team mates.
I would say zerg rush is more of an rts phenomanon whereby one person builds up a massive army (usually of units that are individualy weak but stronger units are used in games with a high or no population cap) and then sends them all at their enemmy in an effort to overwelm their defences through sheer numbers.

perhaps your thing needs a different name......

(randomly off the top of my head): polaxing?

slightly more OT: Greifing: Deliberate behaviour done to infuriate other members of your team to the point of ragequitting

speaking of which: Ragequitting: The act whereby someone quits the game midway through due to fustration

In what game can you telefrag someone?
Pretty sure you could do it in Unreal Tournament.

Also, no "Lewts", as in: Rewards dropped by boss creatures or found in boxes/crates protected by said boss creatures.

Ninja (also called 'Ghost')

One who uses stealthy gameplay
I'd file that under Ghost then, because throughout the MMO communtiy, "Ninja" is a term used for a player who abuses any given loot system in order the cheat his team mates out of loot, for himself.
(I've personally never heard it used to refer to a stealthy player)


My own input;

Slacker = Someone who is content doing next to nothing and lets his team mate's carrying him/her.

This one is quiet an obscure one:

Phys kill - The act of killing someone using a games physics. (Dropping a box on them for instance)

Can't help but feel that 'Sniper' is really needed here, as it's not an expression used soley for gaming. In fact, it's as much a 'gaming term' as the word 'explosion'.

Cheap - using easy/overpowered wepons for kills percived as undeserved or lucky.

.
It's certainly the dominant term for stealthy players in the FPS community, there's even a perk in MW2 called Ninja that silences your footsteps.

Two meanings needed, it would seem!

I tried playing the 360 version the other day...

I didn't have much fun.

I'm just used to my Sandman, so I keep pressing alt-fire with my bat only to look like a fool and not kill anything.

And to think I used to dominate that game as a Scout. But my Scout-ness lives on in the PC version, at least.

Sandman, eeew...

I've always loved Spy, but as I've just gone downhill skillwise, then I figured out how to stop sucking, I've become quite good at Soldier. Pub Stomping, woo.

Ugh, I can't play Soldier for shit. Spy I can manage, though. The temptation to equip my Cloak and Dagger is omnipresent, however.

I will not be a noob!

Also, what's wrong with the Sandman?!
