flaming is being mean to someone (or something like that i think)
btw is by the way
bump is something you do when your thread has moved down a few pages and no one is bothering to read it so you bump it and it moves back to page 1
as for troll and snip, i'm afraid i have no idea

I don't know about snip but I think trolling is when you are screwing up a thread not by spamming but by fighting with someone.

Troll = someone looking for a fight by posting offensive material.
Snip = cutting part of a quote to make the post shorter.

ok, I know at least one...

BUMP is a universal word...its found on every forum on the internet.
It is used to bump the thread up to the most recent topics list.

when a nation is DEATed, they've been naughty in the forums and so the mods have got rid of them (i think)
