- AFK
- Away from keyboard — the model has stepped away from the camera for a moment.
- BRB
- Be right back; a short pause in the show.
- Cam2Cam (C2C)
- A private-show option where you switch on your own webcam so the model can see you too. Always optional, never required to watch.
- Fan club
- A paid monthly membership to a model for perks, archives and discounts — recurring income for her, extras for you.
- Freemium
- The model that powers cam sites: the public show is free to watch, and you only spend if you choose to tip or go private.
- Goal
- A group target the whole room funds together (e.g. “500 tokens for topless”). Everyone chips in and watches the result.
- Greys
- Viewers with no tokens, shown in grey usernames. Some rooms mute greys, so a funded account gets you heard.
- Group show
- A ticketed show performed for everyone who buys in. Cost splits across buyers, so it’s the best value on the ladder.
- HD
- High-definition stream. Filter for crisp broadcasts on the #hd cams page.
- King / Top tipper
- The room’s highest tipper of the session, usually given a badge and shout-outs.
- Lovense / Lush
- The interactive toy that buzzes when tips land, making tips feel connected to the show. Browse rooms running it on the #lovense page.
- Lurker
- Someone watching without chatting. Totally normal and welcome.
- Mods
- Moderators — trusted regulars who help keep a room’s chat civil.
- New
- A model who recently started streaming. The #new cams page surfaces fresh faces with small, friendly rooms.
