Easter eggs – Hidden secrets developers include in their games, often in reference to other games or shoutouts to developers.
Fragged – typically used in FPS competitive games, means to kill someone. Term originates from the word fragmentation grenade. “He just got fragged”
AFK – Away from keyboard
Camper – someone who sits in one spot and waits for you to run by to kill you.

Avatar: A player character, usually customizable.

Checkpoint: A point in the game where you respawn if killed.
