👍 GG
Definition:
GG is short for "good game." Players type it in the chat at the end of a match—win or lose—the same way two teams might shake hands after a soccer game. It's a quick, friendly way to say "that was fun, well played." You'll see it everywhere: Fortnite, Rocket League, Valorant, League of Legends, you name it.
Why It Matters:
When your kid types GG, they're practicing good sportsmanship without even thinking about it. Some kids add "GG WP" (good game, well played) or "GG EZ" (which is a bit of a brag—"that was easy"). The tone tells you a lot about how the match went and how they're feeling about it.
Grown-Up Tip:
Try asking, "Did you GG that one?" It signals you know the lingo, and it opens the door to a quick recap. If they mention someone typed "GG EZ" at them, that's a great moment to talk about good winners and gracious losers—on screen and off.
It's a tiny phrase, but it's really about respect. And that's a conversation worth having.
