Ganked is the word you get when ya mix gang and f<ucked. It means when a group of people gang up on and **** you over.
but....
eve is the first game of played where some people (no0by carebears) refer to it anytime they die.

EVE is probably the only place where you can use bs to kill someone.
You people need to get in touch with browser-based games like Planetia/Planetarion. (THIS IS NOT MEANT AS ADVERTISING!  )
We've had the chance to use BS to kill someone there for years already...

Not a new word; but a new meaning has developed by CCP.
Used to mean...
Balance = Make all equal
Now it means...
Balance = Make a new game, but still call it Eve

No that was used in every other game too.

If like me you've already heard 99.99% of these 'new' catch phrases in other games/forums/mIRC channels, you've probably been spending wayyyyyy to much time on t3h 1ntarweb.
Excuse me while i go and unplug my keyboard. :|

I keep hearing "dammit Crowley you did me again"
Now as i use other names in other games this is new to me and lets face it prolly new to all of you.
so i think "dammit crowley" should be up there with the best of em
(hell is new)

'End yourself' just gets on my goat. Never heard it before eve though.
podded
CAN-CORD with reference to the new changes to cans
ninja mining is half new, it's come from a few games with ninja farming, ninja looting, ninja keeptakes etc
Devs - afaik that's a pretty new thing. Usually called staff/gm's/god.
Any acronym including kthxbye - old school used by people with less imagination than Father Dougal.
smacktalk - heard it in DAoC
fanboy - mostly SWG
IBTL - mostly DAoC (especially vnboards)
first! - SWG when it was in development. Believe it or not that actually completely turned me off the game.
forum warrior - many MMORPGS have these and it's indeed been coined before
EW Wars - new afaik
armor tanking/shield tanking - hard one this. On one hand DAoC had shield tanking but I don't think it had armor tanking. That was called resistance tanking which is about the same thing.
CTD - Definately not new.
Otters - Eve.
That's all I can think off the top of my head.

the term "podding" was coined in the old "trade wars" style games. that makes it about 10x older than eve :
edit - tho eve is the first ive known that gets the term wrong. to be podded is to be put into a pod; here somehow it means to have your pod destroyed.

Skill points. ISK. Ships, rare equipment. Its all just a means to an end...
Your end.

Most definitely not a new term - it's shorthand for
"developers" ;)
When people use that term, they mean the people making
the game. GMs are mere servants, mostly. Of course, a dev
may also do some GM work. And both GMs and devs are gods :)

Hehe, maybe on the PVP servers, but on the Realm vs. Realm servers you couldn't talk to enemy players. But I suppose you could smacktalk people you dueled.
I remember smacktalk in Ultima Online.

Ninja as in Ninja-Mining is not a new expression but an altered one, it appeared in Neocron were USA/EURO clans would use the time difference to take Outposts while the other was not there. Thus sneakily taking something has been called Ninja-*.* since before EVE.
Carebear IS NOT an EVE expression, its been on the go for ages.
Smack Talk is as old as the hills also 
Rat Farming is only new in that Pirates or NPC's are called Rat's, the farming part's an old one from a number of onliners
Tanking, OMFG another Ancient one
Courier Missions and Mining have been used in such offliners as Elite 2 and other Elite clones that lead to the Evil Offspring of ALL Elite clones...EVE
AT THIS POINT I SAW VORAX's POST, as im typing as i read using 2 pages . And yeah he's right...
Patch Day, um see Everquest for the old patch day angst as you wait for hours on your only day off only to waste it as it takes the whole day to patch 
Tenacha Khan, thanks for the history of the word Ganked. LMFAO now i found that simple yet funny, i never actually thought it was a constructed word
Harvestors, um should have mentioned this before but they've been resource gatherers in just about EVERY C&C product and various clones
Balance/Balancing, oh man have you NEVER played an onliner b4???? ALL onliners go through a rebalancing period now and then, see Neocron, or as it became called Tank-O-Cron after they mis-balanced the HELL out of it
JaiMaster, as i understand it in EVE, putting someone in a pod is called Canning because you reduce their ship to a Can and then killing their Pod is called Podding, but i guess its a dialect game thingy
Wow theres a WHOLE LOT of people who havent played enough online games to think EVE came up with SO much...
EVE is as far as i know the only game where you can Lag out and accidently kill someone rather than Lagging out and getting ganked in 99% of the rest
