Terms and abbreviations for the game.
What I learned from this game is that most of people listen a term and have no idea what really means, but since everyone use it, hell let's use it.
I ask you guys helping me with the others terms like looping and jungle gym, etc so to add 'em to this OPEN POST.
Also I'd like this post get sticked by the mods if possible like a glossary for newcomers!

KILLER:

- FACECAMP: The act of a killer to stay DIRECTLY in your face (face to face) so that the UNHOOK action is unavaible to the survivors.
- CAMP: The act of the killer to stay close the hook but not direclty in front, going around a bit or staring at you at short distance.
- PATROL: The act of a killer to roam the area where a survivor got hooked, maybe coming back after a while and going away again. The killer also might roam the area when he spot a survivor near the hooked guy.
- TUNNELING: When the killer focuses one and only one survivor despite the others are close or try to get his attention.
- NOED: This term takes origin from the killer's perk "No one escapes death" wich you can find here: http://deadbydaylight.gamepedia.com/No_One_Escapes_Death
A survivor get NOED when he is downed at the exit gates despite is full health.
- MORI: This happen when the killer kills you with bare hands; takes the name from the offering MEMENTO MORI wich gives the ability to kill a survivor with a special move when he is down without taking it to the hook.
- SLUGGING: The act of the killer to down a survivor and leaving him on the ground.
- DODGING - When a killer doesnt want to play with the people in the lobby so he leaves.

SURVIVORS:

- PALLET LOOPING: Abusing UNUSED pallets hitbox to your advantage
Sandbag: Sell out your teammates for your own good/enjoyment.
- INFINITES: Structures or building involving windows where it takes longer to go around than following the survivor though the window (for example: The Building in Iron Works of Misery or the Farmhouse in the Thompson's Farm). They mostly aren't "infinite" anymore, but are called so by many because they cost much of the killers time. Some of them can be broken by the Killer by mindgaming/not following the survivor straight the whole time.
- BODY BLOCKING: The act of one or more survivors to block with their own body the killer from hooking a caught one or just his path to the hook so that the caught survivor has the time to free.
- KOBE: Freeing yourself from the hook.
Related to KOBE -> Respecting the five percent: When you freed yourself from the hook and
the killer lets you alive because of the small chance to do so.
- SANDBAGGING: Blocking a fellow survivor with your body so that the killer catches/hits them and not you.
- TEABAGGING: Mostly used as taunt from survivors to the killers, this term is the act of the survivor to stand up and crouch repeatedly and it takes origin from the act of soaking the tea bag.
- SWF: A group of survivors who are on each others steam friendlists and play together to thwart the killer.

Nice I added them! Keep it on if there are other terms. Definition for tunneling?

"Respect the 5 Percent" - The chance of respecting the 5% by the killer is actually less than 5% itself so it should be more like 0.05% or even less :steammocking:

Hum, I don't respect that rule, If it happen in front of me, sorry but I can't let you go like it never happened, is not in my nature; you had luck to get free, you had unluck to have me as killer :/

You forgot Tunneling which is when the killer has the nerve to chase you. Also, camping is now being anywhere on the map after hooking someone. Please update.
