Hi everyone and welcome back to the English Danny channel. If you haven't already, make

we actually have a really interesting lesson for you which is going to be about gaming vocabulary.
A lot of gaming vocabulary is slang okay sometimes they're not real words and sometimes the word
is used in a way that it doesn't match its dictionary definition. That's okay
it's slang! So, let's go ahead and let's get started. The first word that we're going to
learn about today is: loot. As you can see here, loot actually has two different uses
in gaming. So, let's take a look at the first one. Loot can be a noun and it means
that it represents the items that you need to survive in a game. Such as weapons, medicine,
food, or any equipment that you need. Now loot can also be a verb, which is an action, and it means:
to gather the items that you need, usually from a container like a box or some other source. So,
let's look at a few examples: Alright for example the monster dropped some really good loot, or I
looted the monster after my team killed it hey guys we have some great news. We have a new book
available and it's called learn: English through stories. You can find the link to this eBook
down in the in the description. Alright so go ahead and please check it out in this book. You'll
learn English through stories just like native speakers do. This book is for English language
learners who are interested in learning English in a natural way and in an interesting way.
Each story has specially placed English grammar and English vocabulary to help you improve your
English. Each of the 16 stories in this book is written in three different difficulty levels:
basic English, intermediate English, and advanced English. If that sounds interesting to you
just click the link in the description. Our second word for today is: DOWN. And down,
of course you know this word, but in gaming it's a verb and it means: to defeat someone or something.
So, let's look at some examples again. For example, I downed the enemy player,
or I’ve been downed so I can't help my team. Our third word for today is: CAMP. And camp is
a verb. Alright this is very common in games and it means to stay or hide in one place, or one area
and surprising enemies who approach you. So, let's look at it in a sentence. For example, I decided
to camp at the top of the hill, or I don't like campers because they ruin the game. You can see
here the second example is the word campers and this this is a noun. It means a person.
So, a camper is a person who camps. Our next word is spawn or respawn. Which means to spawn again.
Spawn can be a verb which means to appear in an area after starting the game or being defeated.
Spawn can also have a different a different meaning, which is a noun,
and it means the place where you and or your team appears after starting the game or being defeated.
So, let's use it in a sentence. For example, I spawned near the river,
or where are you I’m at spawn. Our final word for today is: NOOB. Noob is a noun, and it means
a beginner, or a person who has no experience with the game, or it can also mean a player with poor
skills. This word also has some different ways to spell it and you can see here you can say newbie
with spelling the word new n-e-w or noob n-e-w-b. Before we use it in an example,
I just want to say that this word can sometimes be a little bit rude to say to another person.
Alright let's look at our examples. So, for example, I’m a total noob at this game,
or I made a mistake and the other player called me a noob. And you can see here that I’m using two
different ways to spell this word and that's okay. Alright everyone that's our lesson for today,
