The DFW Ingress Glossary

For all the lingo popping up

Toadstools - portals currently owned by the Enlightened faction.

Mold - fields created by the Enlightened faction.

Stomping - destroying Enlightened portals. Frequently used with "toadstools".

Farms - large groups of portals of similar level, usually l6-l8.

Farming - hacking multiple friendly portals for items or keys.

Gardening - maintaining a farm so other team members can gather from them. Gardening usually takes place near the players home or work.

Comms - never secure. Do not post vital info or codes.

Sleeping under blue skies - the preferred way to end a night of play.

Eyes in the sky - a friendly member with desktop access to the Ingress Intel map. Very helpful.

Plinking - Throwing xmp at a portal just to annoy the owner.

Wang (verb) - the act of desperately hacking a portal to get that last key you need to make all the links you made connect into multiple fields.

Horseman - a jerk polo statue on Preston and Frankford that won't give you keys no matter how much you Wang.

Beer - good stuff.

non-upgradeable fish - a portal where all the resonators are placed far too close to the portal. Not worth upgrading, as it can be easily destroyed by 1 well-placed L8 XMP. As in “I am not upgrading that fish.”

Cockrell-hill blocked - when a link to West Dallas prevents any North-South linking downtown

Asshole Resonator - That one high level resonator (usually L7 or L8) that is purposefully placed just outside of effective XMP range, usually in a gated area or inside a building. Using the ‘Portal Location Correction’ function is a good way to eradicate these a-hole resonators.

“at”ing someone - talking to someone directly in comm. “Did you at him in all comm, or faction comm?”

pulling a Pan - reminding someone to use their in-game handle on G+. “I hate to pull a Pan on you, but I don’t know who you are. Could you use your in-game handle?”

Too hot - a song by Kool & The Gang that is often sung when a portal won’t give it up anymore for 5 minutes.

Spaghetti thrown against the wall - a group of ridiculous links made by a noob.

Ghosting- Also known as GPS Drift. Example: “I’m ghosting right now, I can reach the resonators behind the fence”
