If you’re just getting started with camming, then you’ve got a little bit of homework to do. Jumping into a cam show without knowing the common acronyms and lingo might leave you feeling out in “left field.” Truth be told, there are lots of different acronyms out there that are just waiting to confuse you. If you know them, then they’re a great way for people “in the know” to communicate quickly and effectively.
If you’re new to the whole camming or adult world, they can just be a source of frustration for you. No one wants to use the wrong one when they’re trying to say or sell something. That’s why it’s always best to have a list handy and ready at your convenience to let you know exactly what you’re trying to say and how to say it.
It will also make it a lot easier for you to follow along with other people. This list of acronyms that I’ve shared below are what I believe to be the most common and important to know. If you have any questions, please let me know!

Common Acronyms For Cam Models To Know
First up are the most common acronyms that you can run into. These aren’t necessarily adult-oriented. You’ll see them all over the place, including mainstream social media. They can still be brought into the adult world to get a point across.
If you see these anywhere else, you’ll be able to figure out what the people are saying. You’ll probably already know a lot of them, but it never hurts to brush up. You never know when you’ve always thought that something meant one thing only to learn that it meant something totally different.

Site Acronyms
While you’re out trying to find a good site to start your camming journey, you’re going to run into a lot of acronyms. These are just shortened versions of the site names for the most part. If someone brings one up to you, you’re probably not going to know what they’re talking about.
It’s just going to take extra time for you to try and figure it all out when you could just be checking out the site for yourself. Once you get going, though, other people are going to expect you to know them.
