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.
