FACT ATTACK!

What does “ggez” mean?

In gaming nomenclature, “ggez” is a shortcut for “gg” and “ez,” which means “good game” and “easy,” respectively. Gamers often use this as a joke to say that the match with the opponent is easy to win - but don’t say this early, because you might jinx it!

What makes this jargon interesting is that it combines two English principles:

• “gg” is an initialism, or initials that are expanded to state something else

• “ez” is an abbreviation, or initials of a shortened word

As an additional trivia, an acronym is an abbreviation comprised of the shortened forms of a phrase spoken as a whole. An example of this is COD for “Call of Duty.”

MASTERY PRO-TIP

A 5-minute talk a day keeps the grammar police away!

In 2025, let’s commit to boosting your English speaking skills with a simple yet powerful habit: dedicate at least five minutes daily to conversation practice! Whether chatting with a language partner, having a lively exchange with an AI tutor, or even recording yourself discussing your favorite topic, this daily practice can work wonders.

Think of it as your “English power hour”—a time to unleash your thoughts, build confidence, and sharpen your fluency. Making this a non-negotiable part of your routine will transform your communication ability in any professional setting. Don’t worry about committing any mistakes - the point here is to get used to talking in English so that you slowly correct your grammar through practice.

So, grab a friend or your phone, and let’s get talking! Your future self will thank you!
