Lag
의미: A delay or slowdown, especially in internet speed or game response time.
In gaming, lag is the enemy — it's the delay between your input and the game's response, caused by slow internet or server issues. Lag can cost you a match. Beyond gaming, 'lagging' is used for anything running behind — a slow computer, a person who's behind schedule, or someone who's not keeping up socially.
