gg
gg is the French abbreviation for the English phrase 'good game'.
gg is used by players to show sportsmanship at the end of a match.
Did you know?
- In many French gaming communities, typing gg can actually be perceived as sarcastic or 'toxic' if the match was particularly one-sided or frustrating.
- In some French communities, gg has evolved beyond gaming to be used in text messages to congratulate a friend on any small real-life achievement.
- In French, if you were to say the letters 'g' and 'g' aloud, they would sound like gé gé, which has no linguistic connection to the English 'good game'.
