Well lets start with the most common words like....
Tp= Town portal
Wp= Waypoint
Juvs= Full rejuvination potions
Sc= Small Charms
Gc= Great charms
Pk= Party Killer or as i call them A-holes
Pp= Party please(asking for ally)
Sorc= Sorceress
Pally= Paladin(hdin= pally that uses hammers as main att- Zealer/Zelot= pally that uses Zeal as main att- Aurodian= pally that uses offensive auras as main att)
Barb= Barbarian
Sin= Assasin
Zon= Amazon
Necro= Necromancer
Trist=Tristram
exp= Experience
Baal run= Is a run ppl do to lvl up alot faster than they normally would just doing quests.(In the place where Baal(The lurker) is...you noticed he sends wave after wave after wave of monsters? well usually there is one high lvl char that kills them and a bunch of leachers(us) that take the experience ^^


Well 1st we have to get to the place inorder to make the portal. So like lets say im rushing you and you need to get the Horaldic Cube. I must go to the Halls of the dead lvl 2 through the wp and then find lvl 3. ><
When i get there i make a tp and there ya go the portal is there lol...

The Secret Cow lvl is a bit different. To make the portal you need to have
beaten Baal(The Lurker guy lol). You also need to have done the Rescue Cain quest in act 1 so you have access to Tristram.
So to make the portal you need to get to Trist


thats all i can think of for now, Brian can take it way from here he is the expert on d2
Hope i helped a little
