Idk if this is commonly used but I’ve seen and heard the word razzy before as a nickname for raffles.

I remember when someone asked me at a convention if I participate if razzys, I had to ask what razzys are.

Luckily for me, I hate gambling.

Who wants to go through and compile these into a single list? :slight_smile:

My brief foray onto WhatNot was a bit confusing for a little bit.

Givvy = giveaway
Floor/ceiling for mystery items (market value of lowest pull/highest pull)
Rip or ship (opening the packs on stream or just sending the packs sealed)
Hits
Bulk

Box breaks is also a jargon-y term.

I compiled the list. Can I write explanations? Or did you want to put it in the first post and let people edit it?

I just made the first post a wiki so you can do as much work as you want to

I would do abbreviation definitions too:

WoTC = wizards of the coast;
TPC = the pokemon company

etc

What makes these terms cringe in your opinion?

‘Pulled the trigger’
‘Taken the plunge’

Thanks @wisewailmer
