FoF (noun) - 'Friend-or-Foe' missile group, now renamed 'Auto-Targeting Missiles.' Auto-targeting missiles do not require the user to lock onto their targets; they automatically hit the nearest legal target. Usage: "*I'*m too lazy to krab today, gonna undock my fof caracal."

Links (noun) - Before November 2016, this term referred to a set of modules known as 'Warfare Links' (or simply 'Links'), now renamed 'Command Bursts.' Do not confuse them with 'Burst Projectors' or 'ECM Burst Jammers.' Usage: "Invite me to the fleet to get link bonuses."

--- Update, just realised your knowledge missed a core term Concordokken - being destroyed by the CONCORD law enforcement, usually as a result of accidental aggression against another player or their property. There is a an in-game special edition commodity with the same name, to feature a famous educational video.

Usage: "I've been concordokken in hisec for shooting someone's jetcan."

Winning (verb): In EVE context, refers to quitting EVE Online. Often folks return from 'winning EVE' to denote that they are getting back into the game after expecting to have quit for good in the past.
