1434

An abbreviation commonly used in olympiad communities (math, programming, physics) to stand for "I lost the game" (because 1, 4, 3, and 4 respectively are the number of letters in the words of "I lost the game). People use this to express that they did badly on a contest. This slang originated from the online phenomenon of "The Game," which is "a game you lose as soon as you think about it."
