Some people may have a local game store, but no FLGS, and I don't think that anyone who says "support your FLGS" is advocating shopping at a place where the guy is an unholy jackass.
Just a thought.

In answer to the various things regarding
BUFFS!!!
When one of my players casts "Bull Strength" on another player, he says "Okay, *rolls die* you get a plus 3 to strength". He doesn't say "Okay *rolls die* you get a 3 point buff to strength". Nor do my players say things like "Make sure your wizard memorizes a bunch of buffs for tomorrow". Nor do I say to a player, "what buffs do you have to your AC?"
I find this kind of talk extremely annoying, and it makes me think that I'm playing Diablo or something instead of an RPG. It just irks me in that sense. We mostly talk as the PHB does... using terms like "bonus" or "plus".
To those who informed me that the term originated with MUDS - you're probably right. Is it okay though, if I still give Everquest credit for making it ANNOYING?? I don't like insulting MUDS, even though I never really played them... they're text-based, and the Zork player in me appreciates that.
We usually use "out-of-game" instead of meta-game, although I never heard meta-game before coming to this forum.
I'm also sick of my players saying "That doesn't make sense" when a rule comes up that they don't like.

Ooh Ooh! I forgot one! NERFED! I hate this term, as most of the time when I hear it, its some player bitching about how I "nerfed" his character by not letting him take 5 points from his charisma to add to his strength (thereby giving him a 22 strength), or didnt let him flank an enemy because his mirror image spell was probably on the other side of said enemy. BLAGH! BLaghhhh, I'm going mad!!!
