Definition

Abbreviated military and gaming slang for "roger," meaning "understood" or "acknowledged." Born from radio communication lingo, it migrated to online gaming where typing full words is apparently too much effort during heated battles. The digital equivalent of a thumbs up, but with more tactical credibility.

Example Usage

Team leader: Everyone move to point B. Teammate: rgr, heading there now.
