Those are guild tags.
KMD - Straight Outta Kamadan
StS - Stealing Society.

But that is a definition. Many players use it in a derogatory form. It'd be like defining bitch but not noting is derogatory use. Yes it is true but it's only part of the definition.

Then it should also include how it's used positively, as it's used positive or neutral by many. It's apart of the definition.

In what context is PUG a positively used term? I've only seen neutral or negative?

They're people to meet, but the point being is opinion. I don't see ridiculously strong views on most of the others.

Pickup Group; used commonly in WoW and other MMORPGs. Basically means a group that isn't formed by people you know; instead, it's formed up of random, possible noobs that will completely wreck whatever experience you are getting the group for. -Urban Dictionary
Close enough I guess.

Also, a distinction should be made between Imba and Imbagon. In reference to GW it often refers to anything that can spam "Save Yourselves!". ie, Imbagon, Imbasin, etc. As in "I'll grab my Imba." means i'll grab my Imbagon.
Although, in the gaming community as a whole it refers to anything over powered. Adding a generic definition to Imba and see also Imbagon should work.

Imba- Something is imbalanced. When something is imba it means that it is too good and it makes the game unfair. See Imbagon

Nerf- To make worse or weaken, usually in the context of weakening something in order to balance out a game.

Buff- 1. Permanent (or at least indefinite) increase in power levels as a result of adjustments to game mechanics, usually in pursuit of game balance. Opposite of Nerf.
2. An effect (spell/shout/skill/consumable/environmental effect) that temporarily enhances a player.

CC can also mean Candy Cane. It even has its own disambiguation page on wiki.
