Second Life residents and staff use a number of terms that may not be familiar to new arrivals. This page is an attempt to provide a comprehensive listing of such terms.

Avatar - A three-dimensional representation of a Resident within Second Life. Any individual Resident may "have" more than one avatar, but this is a matter of appearance - only one avatar is permitted per account. Some residents may, however, have "alts" (see above).

Griefer - A griefer is a name for a Second Life resident who harasses other residents. See the "Griefer" article on Wikipedia for more information on this topic. Griefing is a violation of the Second Life Terms of Service.

Inworld - Occurring in or relating directly to the Second Life world; as, "I'll meet you inworld at five."

Linden

  • A member of the Second Life company staff, who all have the avatar surname "Linden."
  • A unit of Second Life currency, used for inworld transactions.

Resident - An entity with an active Second Life account. The term does not distinguish between Basic or Premium accounts, nor between landowners and non-landowners.
