Jargon Defined?
Hey guys. Noob trying to improve here. I see a lot of jargon in these boards, but haven't been able to piece them all together. Can I get some explainations for these following terms?
Swf (squad with... "phone"??)[I think I am a "solo" player];
wp (typically seen as gg wp);
toxic (what this means as both survivor and killer).
Thanks guys,
~DFW

Survive with friends
Well played
Playing in a way that is deemed "unfun" for the other side. Making the match as unfun as possible for the other side.

Swf means "Survive With Friends", which is what the old lobby used to be called where you'd queue up to play with buddies. When they integrated the party system they just put it in the "Play as survivor" lobby yet many people still call it Survive With Friends, or SWF. Afaik it's pronounced "swiff".
Wp- well played; complimenting your opponent and saying they did good.
Toxic- Meant to be given to things that ruin the fun and experience of players, at this point it's basically just a label for things that people don't like (or in my case just a joke).

Toxic isn’t really well defined. But rottmeister made a good explanation.
additionally toxic can also mean just being insulting in endgame chat. Some even say that is the only way to be really toxic since everything else is „just playing the game“ eg teabagging/buttdancing after a pallet stun is often considered toxic behavior, but some say it’s just a way to get the killers full attention so that they get more angry thus making more mistakes and leaving other survs alone.

SWF means pre-grouped players, usually with comms/microphones but not always
WP means well played, a rare compliment
Toxic means someone doing anything that you don't like, especially if you lost because of it

Also:
glhf = Good Luck Have Fun, usually used as a 'good bye' when leaving the aftermath lobby
can be used as a more dbd appropriate 'gfhl' Good Fun, Have Luck, too
