gg
gg is a Chinese abbreviation for the English phrase 'good game', used by players to show sportsmanship after a match.
In the context of gaming, gg is used to express that a match was well-played or to demonstrate good sportsmanship once a game has concluded.
Did you know?
- In Chinese internet slang, gg is sometimes confused with the pinyin gēge which means 'older brother'.
- The phrase is so deeply integrated into internet slang that players may use 'gg' to describe any situation in real life that has gone wrong or reached a dead end.
- While the English 'gg' is a compliment, a Chinese player saying gg during a match often signals a 'surrender' or the admission that the outcome is already decided.
