I wish I understood it. Can I beg a translation, plz? I get pieces of it, but not the whole picture.
Mob - A term used in an MMO to refer to a single monster.
Respawn - In an MMO, you have many players who are in the same area. They likely also have the same quest as you. Therefore, if you kill all the monsters for a certain quest, those monsters have to be there for the next person to come in and kill. So, these monsters pop back into existance after x number of minutes.
Train - When a PC has been spotted by a number of monsters, and the PC runs, a 'train' is when all those monsters follow the running PC.
Aggro - a mechanic that designates the biggest threat in the room, and thus drawing the attention of various monsters. Mind you, everything a PC does can draw aggro; damaging, healing, etc.
Boss - The big bad an area, the largest monster that requires a bunch of PCs to kill.
Buff - Just what it sounds like, a spell or effect from an ally that boosts your capacities. In D&D, this would be Bull's Strength, Haste, etc.
Killin their doodz - this was originally a reference to a game where you defend a fortress/flag from an enemy who has a fortress/flag. The person is 'in your base', killing your men. However, it's been adopted as general slang to refer to killing of allies. Often used in jest, or ironic, rather than a legitimate slang phrase.
KTHX - Okay, Thanks, in Leet Speak, or internet speech where short-hand is used because users are lazy typers.

I liked how the MOB even had name tags over their heads...
