I am not new to gaming, but there are some slang expressions and abbreviations that elude me.
"munchkin" - I assume this is bad when used as a verb
"nerf" - to make a character/monster/party weak?
"OP" - usually "Original Post(er)", but not always
"troll" - Again, I assume this is bad when used as a verb
Many abbreviations seem to be games or campaigns; can someone put up a list?
There are probably others that I just don't remember offhand.
Thanks, all!

Munchkin is a noun. It is used to negatively refer to someone seeking to use the rules to their advantage.
OP can be original post, original poster, or (more recently) over powered.
Troll is an internet wide word that can be used as a verb or noun. It relates to posting intentionally inflamatory material with the intent of getting people to react in a strong or emotional manner. The usual expectation is that a troll (noun) trolls (verb) for such responses to be entertained. While the noun portion may bring up the image of the troll under the bridge, the original use is as a verb and is related to the fishing practice of trolling.
