				| Why do we call llamas, llamas? I am a long time TFC player and have seen the things that people used to call llamas, but could never figure out "llama". Where did llama come from?

				| It is rumored that when people cheat or act in stupid ways on purpose, they are lame.  Hince the word Llama. 
 I think Bada Bing said he always refered to it as Llama meaning a Lame @ss.
 
 Either way it refers to a player who is annoying.

				| Llama?  I kinda doubt if this has any relation here, but if anyone ever played UO, they'd know that game had a thing with Llamas...  they were almost as common as dogs and cats...  I know some people called the nOOb players llamas, since there were also as common as dogs and cats...

				| A llama is an animal. 
 llama used in the context of a lame player used to be called lamer. Therefore, llama is just an alternate word.

				| "Llama" is a useful euphemism (Look that word up  ) that we use to describe jerks, beacuse this is a family server.
