Galaxy of Heroes Terms, Shortform, and Slang

Since this is the Guide Section, maybe there should be an "urban-dictionary" type thing for new board members.
I started playing around mid-February, and join this board almost 2 weeks ago. Reading some of the threads is almost another language. I've deciphered some. I get many players are on their cells, thus typing is a chore.
Anyone have a list of codes and short forms used?
Some of the ones I easily figured out (or ones used on other gaming boards) such as:
zaul or Zaul or zMaul = zeta Darth Maul
QGJ = Qui Gon Jinn
wiggs = having both Biggs and Wedge combo
chaze or Chaze = having both Chirrut and Baze combo
2*, 3*, 4*, etc = Stars on your toons
f2p, F2P = free to play
p2p, P2P = pay to play
CUP = Coruscant Underground Police
OP = Over-powered or Opening Post
Nerf = re-adjusted to lower power(s) or strength(s)
QoL = Quality of Life, referring the thread
devs = game developers
I know there's lots more. What else are on this board and no where else?
Thanks.
Oh yeah, I keep seeing 100/100 and 50/50 refreshes. I know what refreshes mean, and I know the number denotes the number of crystals, but I don't get why it's typed like that.

When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.

OK, can someone explain why refreshes are often typed 100/100 and 50/50? I know what refreshes mean, and I know the number denotes the number of crystals, but I don't get why it's typed like that. Thanks.

AoE - area of effect abilities (multitarget hits)
DoT - damage over time debuff
TM - turn meter
TMR - turn meter removal
whale - mad person spending thousands of dollars on the game
dolphin - spending lots but not quite enough to be called a whale
LS/DS - light side / dark side
WAI - working as intended (it's mostly a lie)
in August - either never happening or else months later than expected or promised
G8 / G9 / G10 - character gear levels
Maybe then add:
blowfish - someone who spends the odd bit of cash for extra crystals for refreshes but realise he'll just blow it on a chromium card

But I'm sure there are other board only lingo that's not on that list.
