glod

What Twitch-users spam in chat when a streaming speedrunner gets a 'gold' split. These speedrunners make use of splits by tapping some device whenever they got to a certain point in the game they're running. They do this to keep track on their speed relative to their personal best (PB). These times are usually displayed in-stream and marked by a color. Red means they're slower than their PB, green is faster and gold is the fastest split they've ever done. For some reason Twitch-users kept using the word glod instead of gold. The term glod is now common in use in nearly all speedrun streams. The usage of 'glod' may be the result of a common typo that people came to use ironically (just like pwned instead of owned). Some argue 'glod' it nothing more than a succesful forced meme.
