Kiting - The process of hitting the mob, running so it can't hit back, then hitting it again.
AoE Grind - Grind on mobs using your AoE skills so it goes faster.
Aggro - The term used to describe who's being attacked. If you have aggro as a psychic, run. b:chuckle[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

made a tiny list for ya -- if ur an experienced player just trolling, plz dont flame me for trying to help
to clear things out even more:
AOE - area of effect - meaning ur spells hits more than 1 target
BIO - bathroom break
Buff - Temporary boost to character attribute or combat ability
Camp(ing)- The act of waiting in an area to hunt a specific mob or a specific spawn
Crowd Control - Refers to a set of spells / abilities that temporarily paralyze or stun other mobs or players. Crowd control is an important group support ability when fighting multiple mobs.
DD - Direct Damage. Used to refer to a class of spells and abilities that allow players to damage enemies from a distance.
DPS - Damage per second. Used when figuring out weapon speed and damage.
INC - Abbreviation for "incoming". When a tank pulls for group, the tank will use this as warning that a mob is incoming.
Kite - To lure a mob or player around much like a kite on a string while attacking it in some capacity. A player draws agro and the mobility of the monster is reduced. The monster tries to follow the target (thus becoming the kite on the string with the target hold the string.)
KoS - Acronym for "Kill on Sight". Usually used to refer to characters who are disliked by a particular guild. E.g., "After corpse-camping several of our guild's members, we put XYZ on the guild's KoS list".
KS - Kill Stealing. When another player attacks the same creature as another player and receives the reward for the kill instead of the person who originated combat.
PK - Player Killing
Proc - Abbreviation of "programmed random occurence", refers to usually the benefits of added damage or other buffing enhancement that occurs randomly when an item strikes or is used
QQ - An emoticon that represents eyes weeping/crying. Used as both an emoticon and a verb. As an emoticon, it is usually a sarcastic reply to someone else's complaint or rant. In that setting, it is similar to "go cry me a river" or "oh boo-hoo". As a verb, it stands in for "complaining about.Note that the verb form refers unintuitively to the complaining rather than the crying.
Rez - Short for resurrection. Refers to abilities that revive players that have just died. Typically only available to healer classes
Spawn - Mobs typically appear (spawn) on a given
Zerg - A combat strategy where a large group of players rush in at the target. Seen as a simple-minded strategy that requires no skill.
