What exactly is a lagger?

Answer 1

Lager is a word casually used in English for a style of beer brewed using a slow-acting lager yeast, commonly known as a bottom-fermenting yeast. Whilst the word lager is of German origin, beers that are referred to as lagers in English are just referred to as beer in continental Europe. The term Pilsener is sometimes used interchangeably with lager, however, a stricter definition sees pilseners as being specifically pale and bitter beers around 5% abv, a subset of "lager" as a general term for all beers brewed using slow acting lager yeast.

----------
"Lag" Slang
A lagger or laggot (occasionally, High Ping Bait (HPB), High Ping Whiner (HPW), Lag Fag, Paper Modem or Panda Lagger) is someone who uses a relatively slow 56 kbit/s modem to connect to the Internet, then joins a multiplayer online game (usually a first-person shooter) and who therefore has a high ping time. In synchronous games, where all clients must know the exact game state, a single "lagger" will slow down the game for everyone, since the server has to wait for the client to get every communication packet. However, many online games use an asynchronous communication model, allowing the clients to continue even if they drop occasional packets. A high-pinger who does not inhibit the overall performance, just his own, is sometimes known as a High Ping Bait.

It should also be noted that a few players using 56k modems intentionally disrupted their outbound data traffic in order to induce a "warp" effect. When this happens, their location in the game world is only intermittently updated, causing them to jump across the screen at unpredictable intervals and becoming impossible to hit. This was once a common form of cheating, hence the terms, Lag Cheater, and Lag Armor. This has largely been overcome in modern games by effectively reversing how the networking code functions. On old games, the target's computer informs the shooter whether or not he has been hit. This resulted in having to lead a target, a practice known as Lag Shooting. In modern games, the shooter's computer determines whether the shot has hit or not, and tells the target (What You See is What You Get). A player attempting this cheat now is only rendering himself High Ping Bait.

Low Ping Bastard or LPB is a phrase that originated during the time when Quake was a highly popular multiplayer online first-person shooter. The term came into common usage when broadband Internet connections first came into the reach of home users and were competing with people limited to a 56 kbit/s or slower modem connection. This term was so widely used because of the havoc wreaked upon the other users of these servers by the LPBs due to their overwhelming advantage in reaction time afforded by their connection.

Additionally, the term chop also denotes a laggy or lagged connection. This term was coined during the Quake series of first person shooters as a player could run a command to see a graphical output of their connection superimposed on the in-game screen. During times of poor connectivity, the graph would look like a saw-tooth or ocean waves; hence the term 'chop'. It also refers to the choppy movement a severe lagger sees in these games due to intermittent update of game data.

A 56ker or 56k demon is a slang term for a person using a 56 kb modem connection. These connections are considered to be slow compared to modern broadband connections and generally result in lewd complaints from other higher bandwidth participants in the game or channel. On many game servers, having such a connection is grounds for immediate banning, spawncamping, or teamkilling. This practice is commonly referred to as Smear the Queer.

Lagtard and fisher price comp also come into play when insulting a lagger.

Also the term ricking can be used when referring to lag. This term is mainly used in the Boston area.

Lagers
- Lager means to store or put aside.
- This beer is made with bottom yeast, so-called because it flocculates to the bottom of the vat.
- Traditionally bottom yeast will ferment at cold temperatures less than 10 deg C. Now fermentation takes place at 12 to 18 deg C. This cold or deep fermentation allows the malt and hops to assert their fine flavours.
- Lager tends to be paler, drier and less alcoholic than ales.
- Pilsener or pils beer originated in Bohemia where brewers first found beer that was over-wintered or lagered improved if stored in cool caves and kept on ice.
- German lagers, including beers such as bock and marzen, are made according to the Bavarian Purity Laws of 1516 to ensure the beer is all-malt (no sugar) and hopped with bitter and aromatic varieties (noble hops).
- Some German-style beers are described as "helles" meaning pale or blonde. Pale beers grew in popularity following the adoption of the glass for drinking in the 19th Century.
