What Does BG Stand For?

Bad game

Gamers use BG to stand for "bad game." This acronym is the opposite of the more popular GG.

You're most likely to encounter BG in chat messages sent by salty opponents. These opponents likely think you cheated, played a cheesy strategy, or were otherwise poor to play against.

Example

You just got lucky, BG

Battleground

In player versus player (PvP) games, players may use bg as shorthand for battleground. This abbreviation refers to a game map (or section of a game map) on which players fight each other (either as teams or in FFA matches).

Some bgs may be generic, while others are specific to certain game modes. For example, when discussing a battleground for a first-person shooter (FPS), a player may say the bg is available only in CTF. This means that battleground is available only in the game's capture the flag mode.

Example

Arathi Basin is my fav bg b/c of the multi-level terrain Really? I love Eye of the Storm

Big grin

BG is a way to say that you have a big grin on your face. People often send it in messages as an alternative to :-D or a similar emoji (may also be written <bg>).

There are many instances in which you might send BG. For example, if you are elated by something your friend texted you, you might reply, "You just put a BG on my face!"

Some people also use it to convey playfulness, like when joking. For example, you may message your sister, "Did you like that cold shower this morning? BG." after you flushed the toilet on her.

Example

I can't wait to go to the fair next week! <BG> Me 2!

Look at that BG

Blood Glucose

BG is a common acronym used by people with diabetes to refer to blood sugar (glucose) levels. People typically measure BG with a blood glucose meter, which is crucial for managing diabetes. The results guide people in adjusting their insulin, diet, or physical activity to keep their levels within a healthy range, help maintain energy, and avoid complications.

People often use BG online (especially in health-related forums and social groups) and in messages but may also use it in real life. Additionally, they may use BG interchangeably with BS (blood sugar) since both terms refer to the amount of glucose in the bloodstream.

Example

The new BG meter reading on my insulin pump is so helpful That's great to hear
