gank
verb (Online, MMORPG usage) 1. To kill another player using a group of players 2. To kill another player using any means that places the played to be killed at a substantial disadvantage. Widely popularised following the success of World of Warcraft, the word "gank" comes from "gang kill", used in earlier MMORPGs like Ultima Online. A gang kill occurs when a group (or gang) of players attack a single one and kill him/her with relative ease. The meaning has now extended to any player kill where the killed player had little chance to avoid death.
"I was ganked by a level 60 horde" "You had no chance to avoid that rogue! Ganked!"
