I've had a request for a guide on the lingo used in this game. So here it is, including some excellent coverage from dannykideye, which I will list with a * next to it (possibly some minor edits to his work, but I made sure to give him credibility for it). I will also include some I've never seen in-game myself, just in case you run across it. So here it is, the list of what many of these crazy people are talking about when they say WDWHAPT (this one is a joke lingo, don't worry...Why Dont We Have A Party Tonight is what it stands for, if you were wondering :-D)
