Diablo II Terms and Abbreviations

Abbreviations:

3DT - 3 Diamond Tower -- A socketed Tower Shield/Pavise with three perfect diamonds.
3PD - 3 Perfect Diamonds -- unlike 3DT, this could be any shield, not only a Tower/Pavise. Bone Shields for lower requirements, or Large Shields for faster run/walk than when using a Tower/Pavise, for instance. Can, of course, still refer to a Tower/Pavise.

terms:

Desynch - When you are in two different places on client and serverside. You'll see yourself in one place, but in reality you're one screen away, being beaten to death by a Fallen. Caused by packet loss.
Double Draw Bug - Fires in D2 are drawn by stacking lots of sprites in a REALLY STUPID way. The sole reason FW, Blaze and Meteor lag so much, why Fire Skills suck, and why most Sorceress fans want to see Blizzard's programmers drawn and quartered.
Hidurare - A rare with 5x durability. These rares are created when the game tries to spawn a unique item, fails (because a) The item is exceptional, or b) The unique already exists in the game), and chooses to drop a rare instead. The thing is that the rare still gets 5x durability, like all uniques have.
Power Moron - As opposed to a Power Gamer, he is someone who plays all the most effective play style (tweaker sorc, WW barb, MS 'zon etc.) but has little or no understanding of the game mechanics. Generally considers himself to be the best Diablo II player on b.net, since he figured out how to read some guide on "How to build the most effective Barbarian". Power Morons make up 80% of battle.net's population.
Power Gamer - Someone trying to build the most effective character - by testing, experimenting, reading up on how the game works, looking for cheap exploitable skill combos etc. Quite rare nowadays, since after more than 6 months the most effective playstyles are already discovered (as far as we know - I could be wrong).
Reping - Going to town for a repair. Very common among Lance barbs, as lances have 25 durability (unless they're hidurares).
Soloing - Playing alone in a large game.
Variant - A character designed not to be super-effective, but to be challanging. It's done by imposing some restrictions on your character. For instance, a Sorceress using Lightning Skills ONLY.
WP trap - A "trap" set up at a waypoint. Example: You go through the River of Flame waypoint. As you "wake up" on the other side, you're already dead. Whoopdie shit, someone parked Hephasto right next to the WP. Not A Good Thing when you're in Hardcore. Can also be a player that goes hostile to you as you leave through the waypoint, and as you "wake up" on the other side there's a hostile PvP-built amazon standing next to your Sorceress. Not a good thing either.
