GG
Post-match gaming courtesy
GG is gaming shorthand for "good game," typed at the end of a match as a gesture of sportsmanship: GG, that was close.
It can be sincere or sarcastic—said early, it taunts an opponent who's losing badly.
Outside gaming, GG signals that something is over or hopeless: My phone died—GG.
