Belligerently Wrong 

Somebody who is "belligerently wrong" prolongs an argument even after its obvious that their facts are wrong, their reasoning is wrong, and the point they're trying to prove isn't clear. The "belligerently wrong" will usually repeatedly change their strategy so as to prevent the conversation from actually ending. It is unclear whether the belligerently wrong are actively trolling or merely unintelligent and unwittingly causing a ruckus.
"Joe was being belligerently wrong - he kept trying to argue that the capital of Maine is Delaware, even after we linked him to a list of state capitals and pointed out that Delaware is a state in and of itself."

Overused to the point of vulgarity abbreviation intended to stand for "good game." When people say it no matter what (especially when the winners say it), it dilutes the phrase to the point of meaninglessness. They might as well just say "hahah we kicked your asses."

Come on people, if it was a good game, say "damn that was a good game."

If it was shitty or merely mediocre, don't dilute a phrase that could be used as a compliment if it didn't mean jack squat.
<Everyone on winning team> gg
<Cowclops> Shut the FUCK up. That was NOT a good game. You fucking slaughtered us. YOU played well, but we did not, so don't patronize us with halfassed "pleasantries" when you're really just being dingleberries.
