GG

If you ever hear a youth or gamer talk you may sometimes say them say GG (each G is pronounced the same way the letter G is pronounced).

Example:
Guy A : I took out my bank notes and a gush of wind blew them all away.
Guy B : GG.

or

Guy A : OH SHIT I LOCKED MY CAR KEYS IN THE CAR! GG!

What is this GG?

GG is the shorthand for “good game” and is typically used by gamers. “Good game” is usually mentioned at the end of match between at least 2 opposing teams. Initially it was mentioned if the competitors felt that the match/game was a competitive one and was worth playing, but it slowly “evolved” into an end game tradition where players would tell each other “good game” at the end of every match. Gamers do the same, but they use GG instead of “good game” as it is short and easy to type (2 taps on the G key). Usually in a competitive game, especially one that revolves around strategy, a game could take over half an hour or possibly more. The outcome of the match between 2 expert players would be hard to predict, however when a player loses hope or concludes that they can not win the match, they would type GG to the opponent signifying the end of the match.

GG evolved from being an end game courtesy to a slew of different meanings ranging from “its hopeless/over/near the end” to “nothing else can be done”.

GG originates from gamers. However some gamer retards who play Ragnarok Online would assume that GG would signify a grin. I don’t blame them too much because their concept is based on an emoticon shortcut “/gg” which would produce a grinning emoticon. If these people only use it in that context in their Ragnarok community it would be normal, but some of them use it nonchalantly on other channels.

The amount of gamers nowadays is “A LOT”. Many people are exposed to GG and have started to learn how to use it. However sometimes people who do not know how GG originated (or they aren’t a gamer) uses GG but does not really know what it can signify.
