Honestly, none of this is specifically Escapist lingo, it's general internet stuff. You'll find the meaning of damn near anything on urbandictionary.com or Google.

Bruce Campbell:
My lord and master.

No, no, no..THE Lord and Master. He beats any religion hands down. It's Bruce Campbell.
Edit: Does WarCry hate us? Or is that just envy?

Epic: A combination of ham, kittens, cake, ninja's, pirates, the dreamcast and jesus high fiving a shark, this is the pinnacle of it's field, the alpha of it's species. For instance fire is Epic. Epic games are Epic. Notice the repeated capital letter, this is a must.

Why no pandas? Pandas are Epic... Right

You have to be Epic to see the other list of things I would put on that list, but since I am Epic in my niceness:

Pandas, bears, seals, crabs, plankton, sponges, salmon, Pimp hero, backhand high fives, over 200 cars, yachts, scorpions, spiders, snakes, scorpion-snake-spiders, bear cavalry, shotguns, rocket launchers, flamethrowers, Bruce Campbell, Terry Pratchett and fire to name the ones you can see without your brain melting.

What about Chuck Norris?

Not completely, Sargeant Toughie, The Iron Ninja, and I do all right there. What they really hate is how people try to take the Escapist rules with them onto WarCry.

Trolls are people that annoy us for the fun of it.
Flamers are people who hate things for no real reason, or love something to the point where they hate almost everything else in the same category. They aren't always bad people though, I would cite Indigo Dingo as an example.

QFT-Quoted for Truth (AKA "This"):
A post which sums up your feelings for a particular topic.
