HTFU: Harden The F*** Up (yes, those are the actual Developers for EVE)

AWOXer: someone who kills their own corporate/alliance/militia members (not to be confused with "shooting blues")

Glossary for EVE Online Terms

To be honest though, every group has their own shorthand "dialect"... so just listen and ask in a private convo what something means (few will give you the answer in public channels).

How did you Veterans start?

There may be a dictionary somewhere out there on the Internet.

HTFU means "Harden the **** up". It comes from a music video that was put out by CCP. Wait...here. People use it to let someone know that they should stop whining about things that they don't like or don't understand.

AWOX means infiltrating a corp for the purpose of killing your corpmates or their allies. The activity is named after the character who popularized it - what his name means I don't know.

Harden the **** up is a play on one of the modules ingame or atleast I think it is.

AWOX originally meant 'betray someone that trusted you, render them helpless and then let your real allies bring in heavy firepower to kill them' and it was mostly done in nullsec by alts of experienced players masquerading as actual newbies. The meaning has changed slightly now to joining corps (mostly in highsec) to kill their members via legal intra-corp combat.

I've always loved that HTFU video. I might play it on repeat at work today.

That's what we properly call "safari".

There's an alternate HTFU video as well. Not directly EVE related, but still pertinent. Here.

While that was the original meaning of safari, meanings change over time, and if you say AWOX, everyone assumes you are talking intracorp highsec violence, not blue-on-blue nullsec surprise tackle.
